Quote from: ROBBO on April 23, 2011, 09:52:33 PMWhere's the suprise in all this? we are playing the exact same side less Bent that failed all last season to break defences down. We have two defensive midfielders with no guille whatsoever, thats not saying they didn't put the effort in they did but service to the forwards was abysmal.Sorry about the spelling but after a rubbish nghts sleep and getting up at 5am to watch that i am excusing myself. That's what is so disappointing about the Houllier news, i really thought he might bring in the creative midfielders we have been waiting for.Unfortunately I agree. It is why we were pleasantly suprised at Bannan for example who could play the reverese/inside ball. We do need Petrov who protects the back four and ( help me here) I think our results with him in place prove this. But creatively we are poor.Well said Robbo. check spelling for Guille.

I was sat in the sun, reading the latest Bernie Gunther novel this afternoon (very good), sipping an ice cold drink when I realised it was time to get up and go to the match.I honestly wish I hadn't bothered. What a horrible snooze fest that was.Stoke City are such a vile, horrible side to watch, with their insistence on taking a couple of minutes for every throw in or free kick, and their time wasting from half way through the first half. I know they have a few decent players, like Etherington, but I don't buy this "they've changed" bollocks - they are exactly the same niggly, tedious anti-football car crash they always were. Unfortunately, they're exactly the sort of stubborn side we struggle to break down, and the result was predictable.The first half, we were utterly awful, just wretched. The second half I thought we were much improved and played with a bit of zip, but over 90 minutes, bar the goal, I can't remember another shot on goal from us. Having said that, I'd have taken a point before kick off, so can't grumble at the result.Dunne and Collins reminded me why we need to move them both on in the summer. Brad's save early on was brilliant, but then in that flurry of corners he reminded me of why we need to move him on, too, plenty of flapping and indecision from him.Walker did very well today, I thought.Heskey lumbered around and didn't do much.Downing I thought was our best player, and I really didn't understand why he was taken off. Petrov - did very well, looked composed and in control.Darren Bent - honestly, what can you say about this guy? Barely got a sniff of the ball all day, but what a superbly taken goal that was.
I had a couple of pints with Bad English before the game, then didn't go. It was excellent.
... the main celebrations are going to be tomorrow when I see the rest of the family!

QuoteQuote of the day...After 7 minutes the twat behind me says ' downing has been a bit inconsistent today'I'll try and beat that - the two old miserable ***** behind me who spent the whole game moaning, whining and swearing in the ears of a five year old - one shouted.."F*ck off to Man Utd Young you c**t - we'll have 35 million and a reduction in the season ticket price".ROW S - Lower Witton 200 - 201 - the club doesn't need aresholes like you.
