Fucking hell that was a shocking 45 mins of commentary from BT, Darke and Hartson have plumned new depths of utter fuckwittery, oh and two deffo Pens one for shirt pulling and the hand ball, no mention of the forearm smash off the ball on Sane as well

I'm listening to R5 with Kilbane and another BBC 'lifer' commentating. Kilbane has finished with "This is exactly what you want from a cup tie!" Same old tired, cliche-ridden claptrap from the BBC. Had we got either of the pens for a 1-0 HT lead he would no doubt be musing over what Newport had to do to get back in the game! I don't know how long we have to put up with the fuckin' licence fee - £150 a year for this shite!

Think most of us knew this is how this game would play out but Leroy and Jesus need to step it up a touch but pep will do his thing and the goals will come.well they better fooking had lol

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

That’s what I am thinking as well. I haven’t heard that he is injured. As far as I am aware only Komps and Mendy are injured. I think Delph is in the dog house. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him move on at the end of the season.

He isn’t injured. I think the Leicester game was the one where Pep has blown a gasket after the Palace defeat and he has been the fall guy

Can’t stand that **** Saunders.

 

[andyhinch]

Wow what an arrogant and entitled view

Whys that arrogant, are you here ? We definitely haven’t dominated

 

[PragueBlue]

I thought that was okay given the circumstances. Hit the bar, had a stonewall penalty denied, getting fouled in the box at every set-piece whilst the ref and linesmen cough politely and look the other way.
.

I agree. Should have been 2 penalties really. The handball and the pull on Stones' shirt.

I think we have done well under the circumstances. We can't really play our normal football on this pitch. I'd happily take a narrow win.

 

[homerdog]

I know the pitch is poor, but they’re playing on the same pitch as us.

Why do you think they rely on long balls and throw ins!?

 

[OntarioBlue]

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s gary from only fools And horses

Is it Gary Birtles ? He’s hopeless but not as bad as hartson judging by the comments on here.

 

[aguero93:20]

How do you know we wouldn’t have scored straight from the kick off after conceding and then scored two minutes later again and be going into half time 1-2 up?

Don't be silly, there's no chance that would have happened.

We'd have scored at least 4.
