Just noticed that; he got two with the one lunge. If it was against a''certain other side'' of our acquaintance, I'd have shook his hand!Bluemoon dan said:

paulchapo said:Erm....just a *bit* of a difference in the two tackles!! One was a tackle,the other was a leap in the air and stamp down all out assault and the prick needs to know he can't get away with it!
Yeah , true enough , but there was still a fair few people who thought Vinny got lucky though , and the match referee apparently didn't change his mind .... he just had it changed for him!
That's the thing though. Stoke have spent quite abit yet nothing of this is mentioned. 10 mill on crouch wasn't it, 14 mill on palacios, a lot on K.jones, Jerome, Adams and more. Okay not in the top 4 type of spending but they aren't shy of splashing out. Think it's around 85 million spent in last 5 yearspaulchapo said:Good on them,i find they are usually fair fans on the whole,in spite of some knobs.
I know we hate their style and all but they have got limited resources and we were dire and defensive under Pearce when we had no money,so don't forget that.They have to try and nullify better teams and hope to get lucky with a set piece a fluke or a bit of magic from somewhere.
That doesn't excuse Whelan though,no way!

Just seen David Platt doing a Wenger when he was asked about Whelan's assault on Garcia. ''I haven't seen it yet''. Very diplomatic Davey lad!

A good point mate,not sure exactly how much but that is why they make the top half of the table as opposed to fighting relegation these days.

Great win top day
about the tackle we all win some lose some over the course but that doesnt justify how bad that was
he went with a purpose and half a yard further up javis leg its broken and hes out for the season
scandalus and clearly malice as an ex city he had an agenda and went in to hurt him, should be banned for more than the stat 3
game wise, we were first class, my only worry is how powder puff we look sometimes given we bossed the game we should have been out of site
justice was done and we had the rub of the green but without it those games are banana skins when you dont take your chances, which is what bobby has been saying all year we need to be more clinical in front of goal
half time at nil nil i couldnt believe it we were miles better, and in that respect we must do better because a time will come and it will bite us on the arse
and that time could be a title deciding game
onwards and upwards we go

Nice to hear pundits praising Zabba today, "Best RB in the league. He's incredible" (Andy Townsend) "Best defender in the league at the moment" (Southgate)
