The Glory Game
Having broken Lua Lua's leg and done some tasty challenges in the disappointing 1-3 defeat, do Hartlepool deserve a hostile Withdean reception?
I doubt most people even remember that game
I was there, and I don't know what you're talking about. It was a tasty game, let's not forget the sending off of Bridcutt, but it wasn't dirty and it wasn't in any way naughty. Besides, the majority of the Withdean crowd won't do anything. McGleish barely gets a peep when he plays, except from Block H.
Bennett running back easily going to make ball first then elbowed in face bringing blood from his nose. ref eagerly waving play on, loads of dodgy challenges. And if you think Bridcutt made that appalling tackle for any other reason than it was a result from being roughed up....... And I didnt start on the one leg while other leg cleaned Lua Lua out tackle.. If Wengers lot ever had that sort of treatment up north...........I was there, and I don't know what you're talking about.

Was it not Andy Monkhouse who did it...the guy we tried to sign a few seasons ago,Lua Lua was heavily tackled five times in the first 10 minutes of coming on the pitch....or am I'm being cynical in thinking they knew he was a threat and went to take him out....your decision!
He gets f***ing dogs abuse from me and Superwife from the north stand.
It was. Hartlepool targetted him immediately with no protection from the ref. Their tackles and off the ball incidents were very rough. We had started getting the upper hand in the game after Dicker's goal until Bridcutt got sent off. Once Lualua was taken out there was no way back.
Agreed.
We were off the boil but H'pool got away with a lot that day.
The ref was a disgrace.
