Nah not really, just something to pass time.

Would people rather i just did what some members do and call for our manager to get sacked everytime we play poorly?

I'm the same, Tottenham is just a rivalry, i don't hate them. But i do absolutely hate Stoke and everything about them.

Rodgers can dress it up however way he wants, that's fecking poor. Stoke never score 3, very rarely more than 1. Losing 3-1 at home to Villa too, dreadful.

Looked a little bit late on Gerrard there, hope there is a replay.

Same, I actually quite like them. They have a different way of playing and it's refreshing to see moments like Shawcross last week not rolling around on the floor when Fellaini was beating into him. They can take it as well as dish it out

Given I've been out I'm still somewhat behind on results but I'm aware of our rather deflating result. Ahead three times, and end up losing both the result and a player to a thuggish tackle the referee seemed uninterested in dealing with.

I'm not too sure about the 2nd Newcastle goal because Cisse couldn't be more offside but it doesn't actually touch him at all. Fergie's reaction was pretty over the top, mind... I really need to watch MOTD to fill in some of the blanks though.

Fergie has to be the only manager who can constantly get away with this bullshit.

Btw I don't think he's interfering with play, he's got Evans between him and the ball and isn't making Evans go for the ball (he would have cleared it either way if Cisse was there or not) and he's not obstructing the keepers view.

Why on earth do we not have anyone on the posts against Stoke. Reina should be getting that I think aswell for the third.

It's hilarious that after all the times Gruber has slagged off Adam Johnson on here that he's gone and scored the winner against City. Beautiful.

Fergie needs to start playing Carrick and Cleverley all game every game.

Carrick has been fantastic that last month or so.

Checked the scores on my phone and saw we were 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 down. Without checking, I knew that Giggs and Scholes would be starting. They slow the pace of our attacking play down and they can't track back, which leaves our defence overwhelmed. They trick us all by still being technically excellent.

I agree that he was interfering and imo it should have been disallowed. But these days you seem to actually need to touch the ball to be considered active. In fairness Hernandez and Evans definately gained an advantage by standing in an offside posistions just before they scored.

How was Valencia's tackle not shown? Shoulld have been a straigt red.

Ferguson is an absolute disgrace. As is Mike Dean for not doing something about it, and for allowing himself to be intimidated by Ferguson.

You guys are funny, so blinkered.

Yesterday John Carver and another Newcastle coach spent about 10 minutes literally screaming in the linesman's face over a decision he'd made, Mancini said Lee Probert had too much christmas dinner and Harry Redknapp said the linesman in QPR's game needs to go to an optician and that Chris Foy was poor and it was scandalous decisions. Pulis and Roberto Martinez make comments on a weekly basis.

But no, it's only big bad Fergie who gets away with it (with his record number of touchline bans).

Ferguson's was a campaign against the officials to try and intimidate the officials to give his side some decisions. John Carver shouldn't have done it but it was because an awful tackle had just broken a Newcastle player's leg. And decisions did seem to go Manchester United's way in the second half, probably just a coincidence.

Broken leg??

Haven't seen that mentioned anywhere online as of yet.

In fairness to Fergie (re team selection), looking at the bench he didn't really have many options. Giggs kind of had to start considering we had no Young, Nani, Rooney, Welbeck, Kagawa etc. Plus he actually played really well in the second half, as he did when he came on against Swansea.

Scholes too - Fletcher's still not fully fit I don't think, and if Cleverley is going to play against West Brom on Saturday (on paper a harder game given their form) then that'd make it three games in six days if he started against Newcastle.

Saying that, he should have come on at HT - changed the game when he did.

Decisions like the handball?

Which, for the record, I thought was outside the box.

And Pardew was arguing with the fourth official during the Newcastle second goal.
