Once again, defensive confusion and the tendency to give the ball away at will turned another lead over top-six opposition into a defeat. John O’Shea’s own goal winner for Tottenham was unlucky but although Sandro later got away with a blatant handball in the box, Spurs should by then have been 5-1 up. Pete Sixsmith witnessed it, of course, and will be back to flesh out his seven-word verdict …

I like you lads, you’ve got a good sense of humour
Well , take note and learn Smaggie
Smoggie, you present a good case for censorship. Why don’t you bugger off?
Seriously, I know everyone had a right to an opinion on here , but im with Pete ,this is obviously just a mag troll on the wind up.Get him blocked .
Simplest just to ignore him/her though like you Drummer I suspect Smoggie’s male and probably a Mag. In the week that saw the passing of Nelson Mandela I think we can afford to show a bit of tolerance.
Buggar, I missed the Mags score again, did anybody see what it was. And who got manager of the month? Somebody said it mightve been Poyet
