IMO good point though, good game to watch! We just need abit more pace from Crouch(NEVER GONNA HAPPEN) the window is open now though!

I am lost for words. That was one of the most stupid things I have ever seen on a football pitch. Especially after that nibble he had at first, after that anyone else would've been thinking "Shit, that could've been a foul. Stay on your feet, stay on your feet". Pennant just flings himself at him. Ugh. Gutting, absolutely gutting.

Poor substitution by MH - easier to be wiser after the event but we needed someone who could hold on to possession

All that hard work undone, numerous blocks and total commitment. Moment of madness, lucky with the first tackle and then to go flying in like that! Gutted. I couldn't believe my eyes when he flew into that tackle, literally seconds after being let off one. Just speechless. We worked so hard today mate, shawcross was superb. Very impressed with the ethic. Yeah, speechless. Just stupid.

Two free kicks given away' then two hacks at the player for the penalty. May aswell bared his arse at the boothen & said fuck you stoke. Needs shipping out on that performance alone.

Walters looked fuked to me, he didnt expect JP to be such a idoit. If Walters was balloxed then JP is the only option to come on?

I don't even understand why he keeps getting subbed on by Hughes; he hasn't had a positive impact on any game he's played in. I'm so pissed off at the minute..

I didn't think Walters looked too bad and I'd rather a fucked Walters than Pennant to be honest. I'd have brought on a different right back and pushed Cameron further up the pitch before bringing Pennant on.

To give a little bit of explanation of his actions. He was fouled himself and the ref didnt give it so from that point on he seemed to have the red mist in his eyes. No excuse for a professional player to act like that though and he never seems to learn does he.

how do you sort that out?
if I was hughes I would quietly tell him to pack his bag and get out of the dressing room. then tell him to find another club, or try to loan him out asap. no need for a shouting match, just get him away from the club

I know we played well etc etc, but I just feel so dejected.
If Mirallas comes out with a shot similar to the ones that hit the post in the last minute, you say fair play and move on.
But to concede one of the most ridiculous penalties of all time, its hard to take, for the players, fans and everyone involved.

It wasn't just the pen he gave away. From the moment he came on, every time he got the ball he gave it away stupidly. It's so so sad when you think what a player he was only a couple of seasons ago.

One of the bizarrer efforts i've ever seen.Still can't make out whether he was trying to predicate his committment by throwing himself into everything or engineer a move out of the club for himself by midnight tonight.

Whilst I'm fuming with pennant for the stupidity of the challenge there isn't half some crap being written on this post. How do you judge someone as a player on 20 mins? Pennant is the only winger at the club who can cross a ball period.

It wasn't luck though was it? It was a stonewall pen from an imbecile. Just like we ask a player to sprint rather than amble to a loose ball, we also ask that they don't dive into tackles in the penalty box unless they're *sure* they're going to win the ball. Something which Pennant failed to do not once but twice in 3 seconds.

I'm fuming, absolutely fuming. We'd defended magnificently, Shawcross and Wilson hadn't given Luakau a sniff. The pressure that Pennant had put us under with giving away constant fouls had been weathered. Luakau went off and you thought the games was ours, but no Pennant having played crap has to go and give away the worlds most stupid penalty.
The worst thing was that having played so awful and costing us 2 points at the death, at full time he had the bare faced cheek to not even acknowledge the fans and apologise but walk off straight down the tunnel
I genuinely fell like we've lost today.
