Told ya NR.

Don't let Mike see that!

And comparing it to 1989, disgusting. I don't know about the "gentleman's agreement" either, until I hear it from Rafa.

That is definitely worth living in the States for!

The laughing hysterically thing is funny, I was doing the same thing. I had a mate over watching the game with me, it was his first football game...I think he was quite shocked at my language and frequent object throwing. He swore that if he ever heard an American say "Soccer is boring" again he'd explain his first experience.

At least you're honest about why you're angry, the Others are all trying to justify why Rafa is "clueless".

Oh yeah, I was throwing stuff across the room while I was watching the game, but I don't blame the manager. You're spot on with the goals too, freak result.

No, I'm there with you too mate. We were arguably better than them for the first half, then a freak few minutes at the end of the half killed us. We were pretty poor in the second half, but they smelled blood and rightly so. Dudek was shyte, same as Saturday, and the ref was garbage. Rafa played kids just like he has in the other league cup games. You are absolutely right, but watch out for the psychos coming to tell us that Rafa is clueless, he's not the man to lead us forward, etc.

Seriously, does the thought of Carra coming on and going to 3 CBs at the back and pushing Peltier and Aurelio forward - which is what happened - not occur to anyone on here? FFS, and you people call Rafa clueless.

Oh aye, that's it then. Absolute b******s. He's played kids throughout the league cup the whole way. We lost, we're out, Dudek was shyte, Arsenal smelled blood, get the f*** over it people. We didn't lose to Burnley.

Dudek was way too far off his line for both goals.

Hey numbnuts, he called YOU simple. What's that got to do with Shanks calling footy simple?

Not really, that's called you being a f***ing nancy. Them scoring a goal and us not is called losing ffs.

You're a f***ing genius aren't you?

How the f*** can we have missed "chance after chance" AND been "outplayed"? f***ing nancy. I didn't waste my time reading through after seeing this, so apologies to anyone else who picked up on this pathetic contradiction.

I'll take one too please if someone has one, jpshar@mac.com

Pardew's a better manager than Curbishley is.
