Am I the only one who thought the pitch was horrendous? Not set up for pass and move. Equal for both teams obviously.

sigh...no I didn't have a problem with the pitch. I've only had a problem with the pitch one this season and haven't been allowed to forget it.

Haha. I didnt mean it in a Stoke Neil sort of way. It just looked like it fell apart after 20 mins. Not an excuse for not winning, it was just shite.
 
to be honest there are no complaints at all from me.
I thought the ref was excellent.
it was a strong team.
good subs (maybe should have come on earlier).
we created enough chances to win the game.
sometimes you just have to hol up your hands and conceed the opposition deserved a point.
 
My only complaint about the ref was when their guy went down at the start, if it's not a penalty, and he appealed for one, then it's a dive and a yellow card.

Not that it made a difference obviously. And every fucking ref let's them get away with it.

We're shit. Let's just pack it in and watch some Brazilian fart porn.

we're not shit, we just can't finish for toffee. if being poor finishers means you're shit, then yeah, I guess we're shit.

I was taking the piss Neil. According to the doom mongers we might aswell be listening to farts. It was always going to be a struggle even after the American saviours and the return of the king. In all honesty we could be looking at a ten year plan as apposed to a five year one.

Why ? I know Ryan believes we are 10 yr behind united and he might be right but it doesn't take 10 yrs to get up to that standard ...it takes money . Fuck not sure i could handle 10 more yrs of this .

you could also argue the wigan defender who gave away the pen should have had a yellow with the next yellow (his first) sending him off. meh.
 
The ref was excellent tonight. My only critisicm of Kenny is that a 6mins cameo by Carroll is pointless. Should have gotten at least 20. We didnt have striker in the box for 85 mins.
 
I don't think we're a mid-table team. We're a good side lacking a crucial component, because Kenny/Comolli monumentally fucked up one transfer.

I hope we can correct it in January, although there's not many obvious choices around.

Seriously? Do I have to explain this? Forget about united for a second. City and Chelsea are untouchable the moment when it comes to funds. Arsenal despite losing two of their best players are still in the mix and spurs have arguably a better squad than us. We are in our infancy again. If spurs fuck up royally that is still four other clubs we have to contend with for fourth spot. We can't attract players until we bridge that gap, the type of players that would have won that game for us tonight. I can feel your pain, I really fucking do. I want success and I want it now like everyone else on this board but results like tonight compound the fact that we are a long, long way away. I hope I'm proved wrong, I really do. I hope it all comes together and our starlets break through and all become the next big thing so we can say a big fuck you to the money powerhouses but Its a romantic idea that no longer belongs in modern football.

So downing, Henderson, & Adam were shit. Suarez was neutered at best.

Yet we still had the better chances & their keeper was motm. That's how fucking good we are.

Four players nowhere near their best & yet we got a point & dominated for maybe an hour in total.

It's Wigan, Jon.

Favourites to go down.
 
Might be blind 'optimism' but this is kinda a bogey team, similar on form - 8 from 15 pts in last 5 matches vs our 10 from 15, could've been won if not for the missed penalty and we remain the club with best defence - all these after a whirlwind Tuesday.

I'm convinced we wont get any new signing in jan. the yanks will say (fairly) that we were given 100m in the last two transfer windows.

Cheers Spidey, You've just got me all excited.

I agree with ross that we shouldn't be buying short term fixes in jan unless we can pick up the players on loan
 
hmmm, what a shite game, everthing was as expected mind

suarez making a nuisance of himself only to run into defenders or miss the goal, yep
johnson being shit, yep
carrol making a ridiculous cameo to remind us how shit he is, yep
downing using good pace to spray a cross to fucking nowhere, yep
their keeper keeping them in it, yep
missed pen, yep
kuyt flailing around like a regurgitated worm, yep
bellamy gettin a yellow for being bellamy, yep

just an average game against shit opposition, fuck it, im happy sittin off around 6th/7th, we're the new aston villa
 
I wouldnt be happy to be the new Aston Villa, but it would take a lot of pressure off, especially the blood pressure
