Everton v Stoke City. 28th Dec at 1500.

The Ref was unsure if it was a pen his hesitation confimed that so in that case if he is not sure he should not give it but that fella has such a big [Poor language removed] ego there always has to be a moment in a game he is in charge of were the spotlight has to be on him
if it was the linesman on the far side that piped up in his ear piece that makes it even more ridiculous he was twice the distance away but that would not surprise me all day long he was taking the p!ss putting his flag up late

No sour grapes though Stoke were a better team than us just like Leicester were i have stopped listening to Roberto's post match Rubbish !!

I disagree with you about them being the better team.

But you are spot on about the linesman on the far side.

He cannot possibly have had a clear view of it ergo he can have had no opinion.

But it seemed to me like he must have sent a message to Clattenburg because I had actually looked away thinking he had given a goal kick or a corner.

The penalty decision was delayed reaction.

I just cannot excuse the defensive ineptitude which has marred what should be one of our most successful seasons......FFS you get back to 3-2 why didn't he shut up shop and not give anything away? because Martinez hasn't a clue what defence is, keeps selecting a crap gk, does not have a plan b, and keeps on making baffling subs. Lukaku must be thinking "I'm off at the end of the season....." Totally and completely unacceptable we have now completed the transformation into Wigan.

Successful season with Wigan is get the cup and get relegated...

Think most of us are the same. The older I get I assume I'll stop feeling like this but doesn't seem to feel any different haha. This season has been just awful for being let down.

So true mate, I'm 37 and a father of 2 and I'm actually getting worse and it shouldn't be like that. I thought I would drift into maybe being a passive supporter as I got older and just held onto he fond memories from my younger days of seeing us avoid relegation and drinking Lambrini during our 95 cup. But no, I'm more miserable and angry than ever lol

Where i was sat in the Park End the majority wanted their player booked for diving after Clattenberg clearly told him to get up.... Why he would suddenly trust a linesman about 40 yards further away from him who didn't spot an offsite literally a minute before is beyond me and Clattenberg bottled it big time...

Please Bobby. Make us believe again. I don't care how. I don't know how you'll manage. But please. Give us hope.

What makes it all the more sickening for me and most fans is that we finally have the top striker we craved, but have a manager who can't coach a team how to defend even though 3 of that starting defence (stones, Coleman and baines) would be wanted by most clubs in the premiership. I consider our defence on paper to be as good as spurs, but they have a manager who sets his team up to play attractive football (like us) but has them well drilled defensively. Saying that it helps they have lloris in goal.

Our performances against Stoke Leicester Bournemouth, palace and Norwich have deserved 13/15 points

We have got 3

Had we got those 10 points we would be at the too of the table

Not superhuman heroics. Just closing out games against lower table opposition and holding out against our rivals

That's the sickener for me. Not like last season where I didn't know where the win was coming from. The losses have come from our own inabilities. We've got the striker we've needed for 10 years and can't capitalise

Everton that

Last season against utd at home he showed that when we practice game management against a team we play well. But when we go out and play our game naturally we get found out, for spurs they play narrow so let's use the width and play two wingers and let besic snide up dier and Ali. We have to have specific game management because they are a very good side
