We watched the Arsenal game in the pub before we trooped off to the KC, and I thought of you guys. :D

No one in there seemed to think the first penalty should have been given, mind. ;)

I don't think either should've been given.. haha. Oh well.
 
Miss Jaffa Cake's dad headed off back there after 25 minutes. :eek:

They weren't complaining about the cold when they started chanting 'Parky Out!' :(

I can't see the guy having much time left at the club really. I don't care how deep Sir Adam has to delve into his pockets to get rid of him and bring in someone new, it has to be done NOW so that a new manager has time to assess what he has and who he needs to bring in in January. Otherwise discussing Hull City on here will still be classed as thread high-jacking for a long time to come.

Sorry Parky but you had a good chance. If we hadn't lost to Barnsley I think we would have been Ok. That changed the whole way the team played.

It knocked the confidence out of him, that's for sure, and he's become more and more cagey and negative in his tactics since then.

After the performance last Tuesday, today was our chance to see what sort of manager Parkinson really is – could he lift the team after that and get a performance out of them? He couldn't, and I'm afraid I think the time has come for him and the club to part company.

Oh, yeah. Erm... Liverpool, 4-0 eh? Ace. :p
 
Yeah, but in the end, we can agree it was onside. :)

Disgusting diving from Ronaldo today just shown on MOTD. He should be suspended.

I agree. He is a cheat, plain and simple. He is no better than someone who uses performance enhancing drugs. An utter disgrace. :mad:
 
We've just seen that, too. Schwarzer didn't make contact with him, as simple as that.

Agreed. It's just not a penalty. (said the gooner, having watching the sp*rs game)

I agree. He is a cheat, plain and simple. He is no better than someone who uses performance enhancing drugs. An utter disgrace. :mad:

Yep. Anything else, like a bad challenge, or drugs as you say, would be seen as unsporting or cheating, and would be punished. Why can't this video be analysed, and the same punishment given?

The atmosphere today at the Emirates was very very good. Particular favourite: "Are you tottenham in disguise?"

Because the authorities are scared of Gordon Taylor and the PFA. Those are the worst people, how they think they are so high and mighty and better than anyone else. Sorry but they are the worst thing about modern football. I would also like to see players more accountable for violent conduct. If I push someone over in the street I get arrested, why dont they? Just because they are in the heat of the battle, utter crap!

*Dances round the table* Ahhhhh, weeeeee!

But of course, when Drogba does it, hes a cheat, Ronaldo... Cheat! Henry? Van Persie? Nahhh, there was going to be contact he was moving out of the way and just happened to win a pen...

Get a grip, we all think its ok when it our team... when when its someone else its a disgrace...

You don't see many like that Ronaldo one.. :rolleyes: Absolutely **** all contact.. any why do you name Henry? He is widely regarded as one of the most sporting footballers in the world. Please don't bring up that 'was he elbowed in the face when he went down holding his face' thing that happened in the World Cup against Spain - that was so incredibly hyped up (because it was Henry, and he is usually so honest) its ridiculous. Just a couple of weeks ago against West Ham Henry was awarded a freekick, and you see him saying to the ref. "I fell over - what did you give the freekick for? He did nothing wrong."

I understand what your saying, but Henry is the wrong example to use...

Agreed, about Henry. Pires was the worst for it at Arsenal, but Freddy (Ljungberg) doesn't mind throwing himself around a bit.

I find all of the hysterics of football a bit embarrassing. I say put them at the bottom of rugby ruck and see if they roll about in agony? I would guess that they probably wouldn't because that kind of cheating isn't tolerated on a rugby pitch.
 
Any player that falls and claims that he was tripped and video evidence shows that he was not should be banned for at least one game. Why should I pay money to go and watch people try and cheat themselves to success. I dont care who it is. Make an example of them, they are spoiling the game for everyone.

I think Ronaldo is a fantastic player but he spoils himself. Even Drogba, Henry, Ronney, anyone I dont care, ban them for a game.
