  1. If West Ham win two and we lose two the goal difference will quickly melt away. Yesterday's point could be very significant.
  2. Rocha should have had at least two yellows for the same incident. One for deliberately kicking the ball at a fan and the on other for slapping Lallana in the face although technically either could have a red. I don't think the ref saw any of it, he had to come over to the Kingsland assistant and he was half a pitch away.
  3. Tomorrow's game is the key to promotion. Of course it's not all over if we lose but things would get very hairy.
  4. I saw the flag go up straight away so I wasn't celebrating. Then I realised that he was signalling for offside which it couldn't possibly have been since only two of our players touched the ball, one to take the corner and one to put it into the net and as we all know, you cannot be offside from a corner.
  5. Called offside? No, I'd rather the assistant got the decision correct in the first place.
  6. I agree to some extent but he should have looked across and tried to pick someone out instead of just blindly squaring it.
  7. Ashdown would have stayed on. Lallana was not running towards goal. I believe that Adam's left foot was very slightly caught, but that he had also pushed the ball too far and when he realised that he wasn't going to get to it decided to go down. If he'd gone down instantly he might have had a chance.
  8. Morgan doesn't tackle properly. I'm not surprised he gets hurt.
  9. I've thought that about a lot of teams this season.
  10. ???
  11. Not Rekik, he was the one with the hair. It was Etuhu.
  12. He didn't react quickly enough.
  13. That's not necessary. I remember thinking at the time: that player's free. Who should be picking him up? Guly's only a few yards away, why doesn't he close him down? Kelvin should have that. Oh bugger, he's flapped at it again.
  14. Was bundled of it a few times, to be fair.
  15. What were they thinking?
  16. I'm normally a Guly supporter but even I noticed him strolling back with his hands in his pockets. I blame Kelvin myself, beaten at the near post again. It was a well-placed shot but not that fast.
  17. Three wins, or two wins and a couple of draws should be enough for promotion. Beat Reading and we have a reasonable shout for the title, but we desperately need to stop leaking goals.
  18. I too thought that Kelvin should have done better for their first goal. He seemed surprised by it. I'm normally a supporter of Guly but he was a spectator today, especially when he stood and watched McGuire take his shot. What on earth was Adkins thinking when he sent Harding on in stoppage time? It wasn't football out there today.
  19. He took a while to get some control of the game but by then the pattern had been set and Morgan had been clogged out of the game. I saw Adkins giving him a mouthful after about 5 minutes. I suspect he was reminding him of his responsibilities to the players' safety.
  20. The Lino flagged for offside for some reason. Lallana took the corner, their player kindly headed it up and towards goal and Sharp bundled it in. I guess the lino thought we had headed it. Fortunately the ref put him straight.
  21. I'm still confident, but I must admit that I did look up the playoff dates for May.
  22. Number 5 could be moo. That is m - roman for 1000 - with two more zeros after it.
  23. Yup, works for me. And squawk is definitely correct. Now for the numbers.
  24. Well done! that's teamwork for you.
  25. 15 could be 'cluck' Well it could in Scotland
