Golden Balls

I missed this follow through foot. I'll have a look again later. Was it bad enough to warrant the rolling around in agony? Was it a booking? And why did the red only give it after looking at him rolling around? He certainly wasn't waiting for an advantage.

This was the worst decision of the lot for me. Some of the others you could argue he didnt have a good angle or whatever but this one he saw the challenge, followed the ball, looked to carry on play, noticed Tiote rolling around like he'd been shot so gave a foul and booking. He basically guessed it must have been bad. What made is worse was the commentator on MOTD2 said "He didn't even get the ball". All Fonte got was the ball, great tackle.

I'd rather have someone with ability and no pace than somebody with pace and no ability. Ideally you want pace & ability.

Remember watching that down The Station pub. Really hope we get something from Anfield. First visit there for me too.

Saw that on MOTD2 and instantly shouted 'tosser' uncontrollably.

First of all, MarKus. I'd love to see at statue of MLT and Markus around the ground. Legends for very different reasons.

Fortunate to have that goal disallowed

Would be a shame to lose him as he seems the sort you want to keep in and around the club. Seems like he has the making of a good coach. Also think he'd do a decent media job.

Neutral stand. Very strange being sat there.

Premier League will have a lot to do with it but in general I hardly know anyone that has got the kit/shirt. Feel sorry for those who got the white one.

Okay, why are there 2 Saints fans on a Stoke forum?

Why are there 2 Saints fans on a Stoke board?

But wait, Cortese doesn't like anyone and is a really horrible man. Surely this is just a lie. What's you agenda?

I remember a quote from him saying he was struggling to communicate with the defence as it was the loudest atmosphere he'd ever been involved in.

Some ridiculously huge house that comes with a car, helicopter, yacht at the end of the garden and Lucy Pinder as the slave. That still counts as one present.

Good bloke too. Great guy to have in the dressing room.

Just saw that on twitter. Would be a fantastic short term signing

If a saints best 11 doesn't include Ron Davies or Channon its just wrong.

This is the best post you've ever made! There weren't many contenders from your past but this is superb!

He needs to get some better studs first. That said, yesterday was the first time I saw him go a full 90 minutes without slipping once.

By the looks of it, he's not a massive fan. Which is fair enough. That is a terrible 'best XI'

Just what MLT has been saying in the press for a while. Nobody seemed to care that 'Cortese was picking the team' when we were winning though.

Weren't Tony and Gary from Men Behaving Badly QPR fans?

West Brom was quite nice, especially around the ground. St Marys is by far the worst I've ever known. Will take a lot to beat Wembley.

Bolton. I think Rory Delaps overhead kick was better. There was a keeper to beat for a start.
