goodbye fourth. they get decisions like that all season. we've not got a single penalty. What hope do we have with such inept officiating, how do these cunts get a job?
Can we hold onto 5th now?
Please let bale, Lennon, Defoe and kaboul come back fighting.

It's still possible
I want to see Benny playing on the left and Verts+Dawson in the middle with Kaboul eased back in, Vert seems very shaky on the left against quicker player and is much more comfortable in the middle.
Same ref who gave them 2 non pens vs WBA just gave them another pen(/lino) for shirt tug, then minutes later FUCKING GIROUD TUGGED BASSONGS SHIRT AND THEY SCORED.
I'm done, whats the fucking point.
1. It was a penalty, no idea why the ref needed the linesman to inform him.
2. Pull your skirt up FFS this is football, they had their day we'll have ours.
The thing about that result is, that when WE were 0-1 down to Fulham with 5 mins to go, you knew how it would end...
Today, with 5 mins to go, they were also 0-1 down, yet we ALL knew how it would end, I just didn't think it would be THAT cruel!
Bassong og FFS, a new vicious twist on Curse of the Ex!
Yeah, but that 'day' of which you refer to lasted the best part of 20 years!
By that reckoning, we'll be Lording it over them from next season, until 2034,.. Ain't gonna happen my wildly optimistic friend!
We HAD our day, many many years ago.... Football has moved on, money and greed and corruption are raping it yearly now... And until we're prepared to follow suit and 'play THAT game' our day will never come back!
The linesman gave a corner that wasn't which led to the penalty, the arse player fouled the norwich defender who fell on the ball AFTER it had crossed the line, it was either a free-kick to Norwich or a goal-kick. The linesman was the wrong side to be able to judge where the ball was wrt the goalline when the Norwich player fell on it - he was guessing.
The same referee was involved in two penalties to arse vs wba earlier in the season - the suspicion mounts - did the referee tell the linesman beforehand to award anything dodgy so he wouldn't face too much flak himself after the disgraceful wba decisions?
Fucking arse getting so many close/controversial victories in their last 8 games - we were the only team they haven't beaten in that run. Hope everton and fulham fuck them.
Everton are going to go there and play positive for the win and will lose, would love for them to play a parked bus game and nick a goal that way.
Fucking hate the fact Lolcott and Podolski are back.
