Stoke City v Everton. 15th Dec @ 15.00.

[T LEAFE]

is it too cynical to suggest he did it to get a nice holiday off over xmas?

 

[Joao Moutinho]

He scores goals.

Yes... goals are a good thing in football...

 

[Titus Bramble]

He scores goals.

That's pretty much the best thing to do as a footballer.

 

[davek]

Moyes saying we'll accept Fellaini ban.

 

[Joao Moutinho]

Well played Moyes, still a knob though

 

[Royal Blue Jersey]

He's been our best player.

Laughable.

Hes calmed the elbows down but dirty? Never. Physical yes, but not dirty ala Suarez

Yeah it's the elbows that are the problem. He's never stopped doing them.

 

[Scottish Toffee]

I think it I hope was refreshing to see Moyes act like an honest man, shows what the club is all about. I'm sick of managers [Poor language removed] footing around star players. I for one hope Moyes backs up his strong words with a fine of several weeks wages and makes Fellaini do some seriously painful training. Needs proper punishment.

 

[bignev23]

exactly Im sick of the club always being "too nice" just say you never saw it Moyes our best player will now be given atleast a 3 match ban and he could end up ****ing off over Moyes coming out and saying it, bollock him behind the scenes but dont make it public

I think he`s right to publicly criticise him.We don`t want players doing stuff like that on the pitch and he want everybody to know that.

 

[DanEFC92]

Laughable.

Your stance on Fellaini is laughable.

 

[Royal Blue Jersey]

Yes... goals are a good thing in football...

That's pretty much the best thing to do as a footballer.

Naismith does the same, and he gets constant stick.
Naismith was better than Fellaini against Spurs and again today.

 

[Muggins]

Moyes saying we'll accept Fellaini ban.

Dave we have to have it right mate, I think Fellaini is superb but that was ludicrous and totally unnecessary. We've all played footy and been in physical battles. You know when you've lost.

If this was nearly any other manager they would be saying they didn't see it.

 

[Tubey]

Moyes saying we'll accept Fellaini ban.

Which is correct. I'm hoping it's only three games to be honest.

No surprise whatsoever to come into this thread and see RBJ on his usual anti-Fellaini rant. To be fair, it's the first time ever that he's had an actual leg to stand on to do so.

He's still completely wrong though, obviously.

 

[Joao Moutinho]

Naismith does the same, and he gets constant stick.
Naismith was better than Fellaini against Spurs and again today.

Naismith has actually played in more games than Fellaini and scored less goals. Naismith has also missed about 3/4 sitters.

 

[paulbefc]

Wouldn't see Fergie/Wenger etc doing it.

Shouldve said he didn't see it imo.

Good grief.

Only just heard about this. ****ing weapon. Out of form, like. If Barkley was to come in, it'd be a necessary evil though. Don't think Fellaini is really fussed on staying here tbh, which is sad.

 

[Brownie]

We weren't the better team brOwnz, so why should we have won? Because we have better OPTA passing stats? KOPITE.

I'd have preferred three but on the balance of watching that, combined with Stoke's home record it's not a bad point.

We were the better team for the first half, easily. Our goal was luck, unfortunate for the defender. Thanks very much, free win. Their goal is terrible play from us, not unfortunate at all just poor play.

I'm not saying Stoke didn't deserve anything, like I said our goal was very unlucky from their point of view and we didn't make many chances. I still expect the players to be good enough not to make a mockery of the good fortune by letting in terrible goals and shooting wide from ten yards under no challenge.
