Football Focus

3 'W's back in relegation zone. Blues sneak out (for now) with a dour, obdurate performance at Goodison. Everton rather guileless.

[Keef]

Good work Spurs. Never once in control of the match, but did your jobs, and got the result, which is all that matters at the end of the day.

[Jah Lush]

Indeed and once again young Sandro was our best player. Still only 20 but what a find. I can't see Palacios getting back in the side now.

[SimonM]

Hmm..how many levels of irony on view if QPR (manager, C. Wanker Esq.) get a points deduction for "doing a West Ham"? :))

[Keef]

Heh heh, just read about that, it would be funny.

[kpc]

Daily Mash

Made me smile.

[Jah Lush]

Ha ha! Yes very good. They are a bit quiet today.

[Ladygooner]

Well done Spurs! Just reading in the paper that Crouch kicked the ball towards goal after the whistle had sounded and he was not punished - anyone else see that?

[Perry]

ha, ha ha, ha, ha, ha ha, ha ,ha, ha, ha ,ha

so who won the match at the end .......

[Mick Mac]

It was a draw.

[Keef]

Not great from Liverpool tonight, but equally, it seems to be a hard place to go to. Hopefully, we'll do an Arsenal, and spank them when they come to Anfield...

[Patrick Smith]

Thanks guy's what a game.....

[????]

I'm sorry to bring up old ground but I've been watching from afar, slightly aghast - I'd like to see people who go on about Nani being a bigs girls blouse and it only being a scratch see how they'd react if a stud cut them through to the bone...keyboard warrioring of the worst sort.

Well done Narnia for at least trying to stand up against such unpleasantness.

Eh - excuse me.......see above.....

Ok and you a tiny bit

[Keef]

Keyboard warrioring of the worst kind? We are on a thread about football aren't we? Taking the piss out of a player for crying might be mean, but it's only fucking football for christ's sake! I've no idea why anyone has taken it so seriously, and you don't seem to have an opinion on the whole xenophobic claim Quids? I swear, Sean done the right thing getting off this stupid forum. Christ knows what you'd call it if someone was talking about something that actually mattered.

[Jah Lush]

My legs, especially my shins and knees still bear the scars of my football playing days. I never cried. Not once. I never behaved like a petulant spoilt child throwing his toys out of the pram when I got fouled and I certainly never took a dive.

I've said all along it was a bad tackle that warranted a sending off but Nani's reaction and his behaviour in the past left a lot to be desired.

Can we move on now please?

[????]

Eduardo's leg...now that was a right laugh.........

That Bale right fancy pony, can't wait until some defender he's made a fool out of studs him. Stop his playing football malarkey.

[Keef]

I've not heard anything about Nani missing a game, let alone career ending, so lets not exaggerate.

[????]

No Keef I thought yours and Mathews posst were unpleasant, not Xenophobic I agree , but not just 'taking the piss', - and not typical of your postings at all. To be honest you seem quite senstitive about this so I supect you possibly think this youreslf too. As you say, it's a forum FFS so We're welcome to our opinions. I thought Narnia/Declan got a particularly hard time from quite a few on here for standing up against unpleasant posts, although I agree that I don't think you were being xenophobic. If you're going to leave the Forum because of someone who likes you and most of your posts just happens to think you and several others were out of order on this occasion, then it's a pity. The talking point in all the papers I read and what I saw was a disgusting tackle not Nani's reaction - I gave up with proper tribalism at football a long time ago, 'bantering' about an unpleasant injury isn't for me.

[Keef]

No intention of leaving because of anything you said, that is a whole other story.

I am sorry if my posts came across as unpleasant. All my comments were based on what I saw on the day, and what I saw on MOTD, and I thought his reaction was shocking. That was not to defend the tackle in any way (and I never have).

I've just done a google search, and there are some stories suggesting he may be out for a few weeks, and that, if true, is unfortunate, but I still think his reaction lost him a lot of sympathy, and maybe "boy who cried wolf" is appropriate in this scenario.

To be honest you seem quite sensitive about this

That is purely because of the xenophobic thing. I'm not sure if Narnia was trying to be malicious or not, but that little "throw away" comment, annoyed me more than anything has on this thread, or this forum for a long time! You just don't throw words like that around, even if you have read a newspaper article (which I agreed, made some good points).

Xenophobic, and racism may not be the same thing, but for me, they are both equally unpleasant accusations, and yes, I get upset if one is aimed at me. Had the word "racists" been used instead of "xenophobes", there would have been much more of an uproar, and having read that article, I'm not sure the guy who wrote it really knows the difference.

Anyway, I've said my piece.

OKAY....

Choose your handbags please.

[Mick Mac]

I'm hoping we upset Narnia so much that he will change his name again. To Declan.
