    Same here really. But it's still annoying to see players getting picked based on the club they play for.

    Harry Kane managed to get a hat-trick for the U21's tonight. It was only against San Marino but I'm still flabbergasted.

    Im not buying all of this 45 minute nonsense either.
     
    If you look at the Newcastle game and think we only played well for 45 minutes then your talking out of your arse. We played some really good football in that second half as well, and the energy and balance between McCarthy and Barry was superb. Yes we conceded two goals and more chances than we did in the first half but that wasnt unexpected given how much we dominated the first 45mins. If you think any team at this level is going to control a game from the 1st minute to the 90th then you need to think again. The two goals we conceded in that half werent because we played poorly as a team. Cabaye scored a worldie and our CB's were caught on their heels. We worked ourselves into a lot of goal scoring opportunities but we just didnt take advantage. Sometimes that happens. At no point were Newcastle ever in control of the game.
     
    Lukaku also happened to do a lot of good things in the second half, maybe not as good as the first. If he could play like he did in that first 45 for every minute of the game then he would never have come to us in the first place!

    Because they pick media players who have referees bending over backwards not to show them up eg. Terry, Gerrard. Worse so the kids who play for media teams and get picked regardless of talented players else where.
    Mark Noble not capped, but the likes of Cleverley, Henderson, and Shelvey get a nice head warmer. Zaha moves to Utd, gets capped instantly, OAC who barely got cameos for Arsenal gets called up although players like Dyer and Routledge were playing out their skin and still got overlooked.

    and so we should stay. if things have to change, make it part of the officials remit to bring decency back into the game. Id be majorly pissed off if we stooped to the level of asking for cards, diving, faking injuries all the time - that wouldnt be the Everton I know and love.

    I think this would be the game I started Gerry. Barry and McCarthy holding,peanuts in for mirallas and I think it would be a statement and a kick up the arse if jags got dropped. 2-0 lukaku and ross

    wasn't being arsey, I just find it strange that there seems to be objections by some as to Moyes repeatedly being referred/criticised.
     
    in any transition period you will make rerferences to the old and new regime. it seems that me being a long time Moyes critic seems to attract "stop slating Moyes in every post" comments from those who may have been in the "you can't criticise Moyes, who would do a better job"
     
    this isn't about point scoring, but I dare say if Martinez had us rooted to the bottom of the league and Moyes had united pissing the league I would be bearing witness to my name being mentioned in every "you wanted Moyes gone, are you happy now" post.

    Key points in the game which indicate a fucking atrocious refereeing performance
     
    Lukaku foul in the box not given at 1-1 Milner given yellow instead of red at 2-1 Silva not getting a card till the 3rd time he should have had one City getting away with cynical fouls all first half till the ref realised he lost control of the game and booked every single foul A penno given to city that wasnt anything l;ike the one he missed a daft free kick given in first 2 minutes for aguero falling over barkley penalised for being pushed in the box  
    All those decisions for me actually got to our players, totally lost focus and spent time getting involved - we should have got into him from the first moment, we need jags to protect us from weak refs and turn them onto the other team - why are we the victims???
     
    please for fucks sake, Naismith is a poor player - technically our least proficient IMO, however in terms of positional sense, closing players, challenging, protecting his full back he is excellent. If we had 2 deulofeus on either flank we would have been spanked today - he didn't want to know once he realised he was in for a tough day at beating his man - he can't play against Fulhams defence every week. Talent is not always the answer, and this is from someone who hated moysies workman like jobbers. Until old plums upstairs give martinez the money to not rely on workhorses on the wing, loets get behind him.

    If the ref had blown for Negredo squaring up. 4 huge cock-ups, game should be replayed. Up there with Atkinson for Liverpool, result was always going to be forced.

    Pep did not speak to Ibrahimovic when Messi wanted to play up front. He couldnt even look Ibra in the eyes, didnt tell him why he wasnt getting game time and all of this after Ibra became the most successful first season player for Barca ever. He dropped him and could not face telling him the truth, that Messi is a spoilt little bitch that became jealous of the attention Ibra was getting.
     
    Barca had to sell Ibra at a massive loss and bough David Villa, another puppet for the Barca circus. Villa wasnt half the striker Ibra was at the time and it showed.
     
    Guardiola is a puppet and a muppet. Anyone would win with Barca and the same goes for BM. Give Pep a team like Spurs or Arsenal and he would choke. Give him players like Ronaldo, Ibra, Balotelli and he will get scared shitless. Cant handle difficult characters.

    does StubHub pay us anything? Depending on that answer, a club with our financial frailties cannot afford to turn down income.
     
    From what I understand, its not StubHub thats the issue - its greedy bastards looking to exploit people and if StubHub doesnt get used, you'll have people doing the same on eBay, plus more and more on the streets.
     
    Ive not got an objection to the site, but I do have an objection to people exploiting others.
