This deserved bulls*** is doing my head in. Did we deserve to beat Liverpool in the 1990 cup semi final, no. Best team lost that day. Did we deserve to beat Brighton over two legs, no. Over two legs best team lost. We have won many games we didn't deserve to, that's not what footballs about. Pardew attacked and we lost many we didn't deserve to, but was slated, now Sam is trying a different tack and that's wrong also. Make your f***ing minds up.

Question: Would the referee have done the same thing in the same situation if it was a Manure defender on the floor injured at Old Trafford?

I love how MOTD glossed over the fact that there was a break in play between Schlupp going down and the eventual goal. Nobody was asking for Everton to kick the ball out of play.

The simple fact is the referee denied us the opportunity to assess the player and decide if he could carry on or whether we required a sub. It's common sense, something the referee lacked.

Next time I'd advise the palace player to roll around clutching his head. We're far too nice a team, we need to start doing the cynical nitty gritty that the opposition do! It's the only way we'll get any sort of decision.

On another note on two separate occasions a palace player was tackled from behind, both occasions they won the ball but completely cleaned out the man. I was under the impression this was a foul?

California sunlight - sweet Calcutta rain - Honolulu starbright - the song remains the same

Sam said their goal was offside.
I haven't felt able to watch the highlights yet - but is Sam right?

The right place at the right time

It certainly looked at, both at the time, and on the replay.

Furthermore, Remy should have had a penalty for being wrestled to a halt in the Everton box.

Play could also have been stopped for Schlupp when the ball went out of play for a throw in. Ref. could have stopped play then, but chose not to.

That being said one of our lot should have got themselves a yellow for a blatant foul to stop play.

This has been one of the worse seasons I can remember for referee decisions not going our way. Most years we moan, but I can normally think of a quite a few occasions when we have had a run of bad decisions go our way. This season, I can't think of more than one or two at most.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

WH has said the players are devastated at losing to Everton what a load of rubbish that is start playing like we all know they can and win football matches fast and start getting results quickly because if they are relegated at the end of the season than there better not start crying because there grown man and get paid great wages to perform week in week out and from what I've seen and heard there haven't been performing like a top 10 club should
