Taylor and his acting skills, rubbing his thigh when it clearly hit his arm :p

There is something I dislike about Taylor, but I also think he's god damned hilarious and fantastic on the pitch, the handball save then throws himself down holding his nuts years ago was epic. Last weeks Begovic stuff, blocking him at the freekick then running over and celebrating by kind of flexing infront of him was fantastic also.

Today, my god the refs were horrendous. Thing is either/both linesmen should have had a very good view of that tackle, particularly the guy who should have been near the half way line looking directly at it almost side on, how he hasn't seen that and told the ref I have no idea. Horrendous tackle, as always sometimes people get away with a bruise from the worst tackles and careers end over a stud stuck in the ground off the ball, it looked terrible and I wouldn't be entirely shocked if thats a career ending injury, hope for the best at this point.

I thought his treatment was a bit shoddy, no attempt to immobolise it, give him any pain relief, plonked him on a stretcher and bounced him around on the way off the pitch. I really hope all that bouncing around of his knee hasn't made it worse.

The handball was also clear as day, because it wasn't right in the middle of a bunch of players, but out on the edge of the group of players both the ref and linesman have zero excuse to not see it, awful awful decisions all game long.


Another point worth making is with 6 mins injury time, most of that after that awful tackle, how would video replay have slowed the game down even by one second? Video replay would have meant that Wigan were absolutely correctly down to 10 men, and not a single second of time would have been wasted. No video replays when technology wise its painfully painfully easy to sort out is a joke. We're talking about video replays giving us 99.8% accuracy in all major decisions after its introduced, the ref's over this weekend have probably not gotten half the big game changing decisions right. Even if every game ends up an entire 2 minutes longer, is it not worth it to have fair games?

I'm still buzzin from todays game:D Highlight being Palace fans singing "He's just too good for you" when Zaha went past a few players....awkward:o.

Every game is massive from now on! Forest Leicester and Boro(the three teams around us!) next up. I reckon the teams down to Leeds are still in with a shout at the play-offs, and unless Palace implode, there will be 2 places up fro grabs. Cardiff and Watford should go up I think.....No idea how Hull are up there:eek:

Pity we have the break now.

Im actually just leaving the stadium but given the reaction on here the TV missed Cisse stamping on the Wigan lad right???

From what I saw, there was no stamp, but little things do go unnoticed, I don't remember seeing any reaction from Wigan over any stamp so, likely not much in it if anything.

In screwing up SO badly the ref may have left that tackle open to being punished by the FA. Had he yellow carded him they'd probably have gone the "ref saw it so we won't do anything more" bs line, while he didn't book him at all, so the FA might well act on it and hand out a decent ban. That deserves a minimum 3 game ban, such a horrendous tackle.

Perch's tackle wasn't pretty either, the difference being the weight behind the tackle, Perch's was a kicked, the other one he was moving and all his momentum was behind the tackle... it really was utterly disgraceful. SEriously though, just seen more of it on tv and he's so obviously in pain, the on field treatment seemed, compared to how most injuries are treated these days, abysmal.

AS for Spurs and AVB, last year Spurs had 53 points by the 25th game, then went on a 5 game no win run, 3 losses then two draws and ended up on 55 points after 30 games.

This year AVB had gotten 45 points after 25 games(so was 8 points behind Redknapp before they fell apart last year) and 5 games later now have 54 points after 30 games, one less than last year, seemingly with form dropping as like last year.
I'm finding it hard to believe AVB is great and Spurs are much better when they've trailed in the league compared to last year in pretty much all but 2 weeks throughout the season.

The end of Spurs season wasn't great, but the three games, away to Arsenal/Everton, home to Utd, most teams would lose 2 or 3 of those, yeah, they shouldn't have lost to QPR/Norwich on ability, but teams do, thats football, I think to a degree Redknapp was victim of his own success, ANY second half of the season was likely to look poor against a VERY good first half of a season. Under redknapp, harder runs towards end of season meant dropping points, and easier runs earlier meant gaining points. Same has/is happening under AVB, compared to last season Redknapp only lost 2 of the last 8 games, drew two more and won 4. If AVB doesn't win at least 5 games its likely Spurs will finish worse than last season.

That tackle gets worse each time I see it.

Did anyone see Pards post game interview? Left straight after to head dome and missed it. Halfway back and blinking annoyed!

Irritated as we were poor but were worth a point at least and now we are in and around it all again.

Really want to blame the ref but its pointless as nothing ever happens with it, just have to get on with it. Really hope the lad is ok as he looked a real prospect and no one deserves their career ended by some scrote from Wigan.
 
What an awesome game today :cool:
We should've scored at least 6 to be fair, Ba missed a hatfull of sitters and SFL should really have added to his total. You couldn't write the script though, him getting his 200th v Wham :cool:
Hazard was simply unplayable too, that was the single best performance I've seen all season by anyone, stunning stuff at times :)

Cheers Spuds too, muppets :p

Jesus christ it was a horrible challenge but to start calling the lad a "scrote" especially when you have Tiote in your team is ridiculous.

Oh and he's a scouser.

Who is a scouser? :confused:

So having a player in your team who is a tough tackler makes it ok for people to nail your players? That sounds interesting, makes it open season on every player in every team then! :rolleyes:

Oh you! :p:):D:p
 
Of course not but I dont hear the same Geordies moaning about Tiote chopping folk down week in week out. It was a bad challenge mate, get over it. Its interesting how you classify Tiote as a "tough tackler" when he is simply a dirty git. 36 yellows and 2 reds is it ?

McManaman is a scouser mate.
