I'm sure a Wigan fan would tell you that 'eccentricity' is under-rated in a goalkeeper.

But to be fair, some of the saves he pulls off often cancel out his dodgy moments as a keeper.

Brian Clough famously called the Polish keeper a clown ...then his brilliance cost us qualification.. Tomacieski or similar spelling

Fucccccckkkkkkk 0-2

Van Persie is so good.

Pure class by Van Persie.

THAT is why we need Falcao. Torres would've tripped over himself and the ball would've gone out of play.

And everything goes to pot.

I hate Stoke. They actually spend a little bit of money, but play football in the most boring style possible. 10 men behind the ball at all times and try to score on set pieces. Give me a team like Swansea who spend much less money but still manage to play attractive football.

Dont seem to be missing Rooney that much...Crazy how big the gap is even if we do win tommrow 11 sodding points..and the fact they have players back from injury cant see it getting smaller.We have shit runs they have the odd shit game

They're like the third highest spenders since they got promoted, it's fucking ridiculous how they haven't progressed.

If I could like this comment twice, I would.

I'm so sick of seeing Stoke kick the shit out of their opponents. 'Bullying' in football is one thing, but Stoke really do kick the shit out of teams. It's horrible to watch. Anti-football, negative football, whatever you want to call it.

And I'm sick of hearing Tony Pulis give out about diving in every interview. When Liverpool played Stoke earlier in the season, Pulis was raging in the post-match interview about Suarez diving but said nothing about Huth stamping on Suarez's chest in an off-the-ball incident.

More like they play shit frequently but still win. They can look dire against awful sides or at home but have RvP to bail them out time after time.

Thats the thing they have been so shit.In a normal season they'd been furthur back espically with amount of goals conceded.They've lost 3 as have we just drawn where they havent which is annoying.

But everyone else also seems to be a lot crappier and like you say they sadly have sodding RVP to get them out!Or Little Shit .Grrrness..we have Torres lol woooooo

Chelsea may play crappy games ? I thought they already played those games in November.

True.

And like I saw someone else in here say the other day, we deserve a bit of credit for being so close to City and United who each have 4 elite strikers while we have one gimp striker.

IF ONLY FUCKING CLATTENBURG HADN'T FUCKED US!
