football's worst performing internet board reached new levels of incompetence last night.
Down for the entire game! Outrageous.
Peter's mates must have received about 1000 texts last night :-)

Terrible. Eze and Zubi bang average. Gabi, Rice and Gok aren't good enough to make up for two average performances and a terrible performance around them.Quote:

The ref was appalling though. Should have been down to 10 after 5 minutes and then obviously he scores. Havertz got booked for standing upQuote:

We're much better than that (and them!), of course. And Martinelli did hit the bar when he really should've scored.Quote:

We started ok and slowly got worse. That is pretty much how we play every week.
Don't worry, as soon as we return to action in the league I will be fuming again over every minute of play :-)
The referee was unbelievably poor for this level. Zubi and Havertz should never have been booked which could cost them if we progress. But Saliba should have been booked for the blatant pull-back the ref blew up for and their goalscorer should have had a second yellow shortly after his first at the start of the game. Fortuitous penalty award too.Quote:

I'd say we're odds on to be in the final.
I dont take pur chances in a cup competition seriously until we hit the semi finals. Too many possibilities and problems.Quote:

Whereas we really, really should win the league from here.
