Stoke v West Ham (Merged)

[Lady Whistledown]

I suppose it would be up to Stoke's opponents to ask the ball boys for the towel themselves, no harm in that, and then if they refused, the referee could get them all binned on the grounds that their actions were giving one team an unfair advantage.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I think it was shoulder.

 

[clippedgull]

I remember the towel being offered to Calderon when we played up there, he refused it.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Why can't you run from 5 yards away and run forwards to 2 yards away and jump as he is about to throw.

Threads now merged

How did the ref give a penalty as it was obvious that Parker pulled out of the tackle to avoid that but still just reward with Green saving it.

Hey it's an effective approach, why change it?

What happens when Rory Delap gets too old? He's 34 now I believe.

They will buy James Tunnicliffe from us! He has a very good throw

 

[brunswick]

someone should hack him and take his arms out.

Still think it's wrong having the semis at Wembley.

Still, at least Stoke are one team who you won't hear moaning about the state of the pitch.

You can guarantee Man.Utd and Man.City will be kept apart in the semi-final draw to save a nightmare day for the British Transport Police on the trains.

Typical women f***ing up the draw.

or not

Whatevah - United win the cup.
Neeext!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

A City-United final would be good for the competition, I'm fed up with all the finals in recent years that have either been foregone conclusions or matches between the same top four sides.

At least City-United would have a great atmosphere as well as both sides having the ability to win it. Bolton or Stoke? No thanks.

I am a twat.

Crap, Bolton or Stoke in the final.

Please let it be Bolton, not Stoke's collection of carthorses. The lesser of two evils.

Yep, Bolton please. They've played some lovely stuff this season. Stoke on the other hand........

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

After the draw and the comical fashin Arsenal lost the Carling Cup final, the qulification for next years Europa league has changed from previous years.

Normally, the way the Carling Cup is won means the Europa league place fom that cup goes to the league and now with either Bolton and Stoke in the final that place will go to one of those teams.

This means that only the top five in the league will be in Europe next year unless Liverpool win the thing.....

Means Liverpool or Spurs are not going to be in Europe next year.

Very much this. Can't stand watching either side to be honest.
