We got lucky at City with that penalty and I know we all think it evens out, but that was utterly outrageous today on two fronts and i question just how much refs are influenced by the money clubs these days. I loathe Chelsea, they are Millwall with a lottery win.
We are not far off doing something special but I can't see us keeping this squad together for another season unless we get CL, which I can't see happening.

What a load of crap. The (minimum) 7 minutes injury time was about right, and that was posted up before you scored your 3rd goal, which you spent 2 mins celebrating. As for the Terry goal, yes it was offside, but in real time it was hard to see if it was Oscar or the Everton defender who flicked it on. And if unsure, the right thing to do is to give nothing and allow play to continue.
No conspiracy based on club's wealth. Get a grip.
The excessive goal celebrations cost us those two points In two ways the Ref quite rightly added a couple of minutes plus we lost all concentration of the job in hand, as we all know a team is at its most vulnerable just after scoring, plus how many times do we get caught with the last kick of the game. RM should give them a b

I will grant you we wasted time with the celebration, but I think you would struggle to find many people agreeing with your point about offside, even your manager for this month conceded that it was a yard off and should not have stood.

This is not some international conspiracy. It's just a wrong call.

Of course it was offside, and yes it shouldn't have stood. That's obvious with the benefit of slo mo replays from 9 different angles. But I was watching the game live and I had no idea who had got the touch before Terry. The linesman gets 1 look in real time. He's got to be sure it's come off Oscar to give the decision. The laws say they you always err on the side of not giving a decision of you aren't sure.

Got to disagree about how obvious it was. It looked offside, and it looked a clear cut decision. I'm not saying the linesmans judgement was influenced, but he has one job, to stick the flag up, the ref could and can overrule the decision if it's wrong, he was in a position to judge it. The flag should have gone up. We've seen them rightly overruled several times this season already by the ref.This is not some international conspiracy. It's just a wrong call.

The Toffee's entertain us all again,
Getting bored of being the entertainers though. How many games this season have we lost concentration and thrown away a lead aftet 80mins?Defensively we are wigan athletic. Least peanuts and jags are back.
Thing is. I would have taken a point off them at stanford bridge before the game. Just so frustrating to watch!

Looks like we've got Sam Byram, I feel for Leeds losing their best youth and it's hard to believe just how far they've fallen, I hope Villa don't go the same way. The game needs traditional big clubs in the top flight rather than the play things of Arab Sheikhs and Russian Oligarchs.
Who knows Hilly, Stones has been linked with just about everyone, though I'd be surprised if he's still with us next season. All that said, I know he is very composed with the ball at his feet but I'm not convinced about his defensive abilities, though he's still learning. I wonder if some of the hype has gone to his head a little this season, he doesn't do the simple thing often enough these days, sometimes row Z is the best option.

Agree entirely just hoof it and clear the danger. I think Barca see the footballer who is comfortable with the ball and know they can teach him the rest. Cannot see RM standing in his way if they do come knocking especially with £35 to £40 million quid in their hands. I do not think he will go till the end of this seasonGassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
