He'll get on my nerves if he starts faffing about with the ball.
Please let it be one of his better games
2-1 to us
So I will be tweeting, using livescore and the forum
However it also means no game in pics article either I can get the link but the its not unlimited data
Penalty makes it 5-1 (haven't scored 5 since against West Ham when leon best got a hatrick apparently - was a while back)
It might help his confidence
5-1 Cisse
The first yellow card against Whelan was a tad harsh.
The ball that HBA crossed for someone else to score, looked out of play when he kicked it.
There was a definite handball just outside the box against Williamson and had Stoke got the free kick from that we might have been in trouble.
I know people will say it's time we had some decisions go our way but if we'd been in Stoke's position we'd all be on here now kicking spots of the ref.
Dave, it may be gloomy but i believe we were due a loss and had it not been for a bit of luck that match looked like it may have been it.
