Midweek Football; 27-28th January - *SPOiLERS*

Can't see us getting anything more than a point tomorrow. Wigan are on a run of 5 straight wins at home and we're going though our ever so predictable poor January period.
We're usually decent on the road but Wigan are no mugs, I'll be pleasantly surprised if we come away with all 3 points.

Who are Wigan playing tomorrow?
surely that's just shown beyond any kind of doubt that you are on a wind up?
Instead of being a ****, why not spend time posting like any normal person does, won't take too long to work out who people support.

I was told that if I don't know which team somebody is talking about, to politely ask. I've done just that and now I get jumed on

Which red card are you referring to? Portsmouth or West Brom?
Robinson's.

Again, I'll probably get jumped on for asking this, but could you clarify which red card? There was more than one sending off this evening throughout the Football League.
Are you kidding me? He launched himself into Park with no chance of getting the ball. He could have seriously injured him, luckily he didn't. IF that was Gary Neville challenging for the ball and he did that to one of their players, I'd expect him to be sent off. I'd have no complaints.
Was a 50-50 challenge, you make it sound like he intentionally went in to hurt Park, that's a bloody laughable assumption.
Yes it was full blooded, a foul and a booking, but if people can honestly see that as worthy of a sending off then I think game has completely lost it and is in danger of becoming a fully non contact sport, which is horrendous to even think about.
Sending players off for challenges like that is the wrong direction to take completely, the game needs more hard challenges and refs being more lenient in giving out the cards, in my opinion of course.

Was no way a 50-50, there was little to no chance he was getting there before Park.
That first half is the best I've seen Spurs play all season. Modric was just incredible - great awareness, incisive passing and he never stopped wanting the ball. Dawson looked back to his best (shame about the pass in the second half), Lennon had an end product, Defoe ran his socks off and Pav looked like a very classy striker.
I think the high tempo killed our game for the second half though. Too tired and we seemed happy to keep the score as it was.
Who was that twerp refereeing though? Phil Dowd? Absolutely terrible. Blew his whistle every two seconds and gave some very unnecessary yellow cards. At one point he waited to see if Spurs had advantage, we did and then he blew!

I disagree with you about the challenge. I'm not making it out that he intentionally went into him to hurt him, it was a stupid idiotic challenge that I'm sure he's regretting right now. People are missing the point that he had no chance of getting the ball but still he jumped in with both feet into Park. What exactly was the purpose of doing that? He was never going to not hit Park and magically hit a ball that Park had just a second before kicked out of play. I want players sent off for exactly those type of stupid challenges.
What is worrying is the silly cards that can add up to red cards for little contact challenges like clipping a heel, etc. Not the ones that could have broken bones. A foul is a foul, that was worthy of a red in my opinion. So would you be happy seeing challenges like that on your players on a weekly basis? Torres running for the ball reaches it, then bang an opposition defender flies into him. Yellow card. I should think not.

a handy win for sunderland and fulhams hopeless away form continues..looking at the table even 7th place isnt a safe place
puts us only 1 point behind Hull who everybody thought had enough points already to see them through..but everybody has caught up now..still not inconceivable all 3 promoted teams could be relegated

Great performance from Man Utd tonight, Giggs is throwing back the years and I'd say his football now is as good as anything from him in the last 5-6 years. Tevez was fantastic, Berbatov worked hard, Ronaldo was full of running and at the back Rio and Vidic were rocks.
I would say everyone had a good game tonight and with 12 players out it's undoubtedly a great result.
As for the red card, I am totally behind Rob Styles' decision from his point of view, but from the other side it wasn't a red card for me, but it was a bad tackle none-the-less and he could have easily hurt Park, but at the same time, tackles like that are part of the game and it would be a worse sport if they were removed. I thought, unsurprisingly, that Styles had an awful game and West Brom fans have every right to be aggrieved by some of the decisions.
You get some people that say 'just book them' when players start mouthing off and showing disrespect, but that's what Styles did tonight and it definitely took away from the game.

He did show a lot of stupid yellows.
