Keefaz Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Did Bolton ever look like getting back into it after the goal, or were they floored by the Hatem-bomb? Na, absolutely destroyed them. They were probably, marginally the better side 2nd half up until then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Proper dismal game aside from two moments of class from Ben Arfa and Shola but we'll take that and the 3 points all day long. Hands knack from clapping the formers goal n all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Just 'seen' Ben Arfa's goal - absolutely fantastic. Definitely Maradonna/Messi-esque. As good an individual goal as I've seen in 30+ years of following the lads. Overall, good win even if we didn't start well and yet another goal for Cisse.

Karjala Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Shity performance, sort of expected. Best goal ive seen since Shearers vs Everton, and a pretty good 2nd too. Perfect result at Spurs, Howay Fulham! Wow! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Awful game for 70 odd minutes, but two really well taken goals and three valuable points, especially with Spurs losing. We were tired, and looked it. Bolton were quite happy to 'do the Newcastle' and sit back, soak up pressure and hit us on the counter, whilst we just didn't have the energy to knock them down in the first half. It was a poor, but 'professional' performance should we say. Fergie changed the game, brought us some pace and some grit, and coupled with Shola, helped us edge in the second half. And I by no means want to make it sound like I'm exaggerating, but Ben Arfa's goal is honestly the best goal that I've ever seen at a football match. Onwards and upwards, the fight for 4th is well and truly on. Howay the lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Just got back in, we were diabolical in the final third during the first half and majority of second. I lost my voice over HBA's goal Krul - 8.5 MOTM Simpson 6.5 Willo 6.5 Collo 7.5 Santon 7 Perch 6 Cabaye 6.5 Jonas 6.5 (Should have not thrown a hissy fit, could have been worse on another day) Ba 6 HBA 8 Cisse 8 Shola 7.5, Fergie 7, Raylor n/a Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Poor game but Ben Arfa's goal made it all worthwhile. Tough call on which was better, think the Blackburn cup goal shades it for me as it seemed to go on forever, but this was more important and a fucking frightening turn of speed. We've all seen players be quick over 100 yards without the ball but this kid with the ball, shit me he is rapid. Ironically he had probably his poorest opening 45 for us but fair play to Pards for leaving him on when a couple of months ago he'd have been hooked. Nobody played particularly badly, just as a team we lacked a bit of cohesion. Ferguson helped a lot, his fresh legs and natural width was just what we needed. Their midfield 3 stifled Cabaye, which was a shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Glad to have been there to see the best goal of all time. Results going our way make today a proper splurgefest Best part of the match before the goal was the "oooooh, ginger" bullying of Bogdan Ben Arfa though, man. So hot.
