    What a smurfing game. Jesus christ. On edge the entire time. A really good result - shame about the defence being pap.

    Well, I guess as a United fan you'd know all about diving. Man Utd's Januzaj is No 2 in list of Premier League's all-time divers | Mail Online

    I'm quite looking forward to seeing that game on Match of the Day 2 this evening! Fair play to Stoke for giving it such a good go though.

    Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

    In all honesty though, yeah, dive. Very soft penalty. Still, I don't feel bad. Stoke are the smurfing worst team and deserve to be smurfed over. I know we had a cast iron penalty against Stoke not given last season, and Huth stamped on Suarez's chest and got away with it in the same game. troutty decisions will forever plague football. You win some, you lose some. We owed Stoke that. We owe Chelsea a few too. I think Everton are owed a few against us though, sorry Heath

    Tiote's amazing disallowed goal.

    I agree - though in fairness we've both had some dodgy decisions in derby matches; look at last season's Goodison derby when you had a legitimate goal disallowed. I think (what a surprise!) that Everton have been the unluckier though.

    Clattenburg didn't referee another Everton game after the 2007 derby for 5 years, and didn't referee a game at Goodison until a few weeks back, against Southampton, I think. Still got booed all game though.

    Edit:

    Having just watched MotD2 - I agree with the commentator. The only way it could be classed as interference by the other Newcastle player was if Hart thought Tiote's shot was going to hit him. That's really harsh, and I'd say ducking out of the way of the shot is not interfering, really.

    Watching motd. Tiote decision was awful and I was expecting to come into this with sympathy for them but smurf that, Newcastle deserved it. They then spent the entire game kicking the City team and the ref let them do what they want out of guilt. The foul on Nasri was one of the worst I've ever seen. When shirt tugs and two kicks doesn't bring him down Yanga-Mbiwa deliberately smurfing scissors him and it looks like Nasri has been severely injured. Disgusting.

    Also Alan Pardew and his cockney screaming at the ref had tears rolling down my face.

    Oh absolutely. It's up there with Drogba's post-CL semi final outburst a few years ago.

    The insanity of the ref decisions of that game was beyond a joke D: the disallowed goal decision let the pressure build and build. Surprised None of our players got sent off after crippling what, 3 of their players?
    Either way to come out with just a 2-0 defeat to a team worth about 100x that of our own isn't too bad I suppose.
    Pardew's outbursts were... something xD he called Pellegrini an old c- (OOPS)

    Glad Ronaldo beat Messi for the Ballon D'or - he deserves it more. Deserved it last year too. Still, Xavi and Iniesta in the world team of the year? Christ, it's not 2009 anymore. Did no-one watch the ungodly spanking Bayern delivered? Schweinsteiger, Toure and Kevin Nolan are all more deserving.

    I agree with you, although Kevin Nolan might be taking it a bit far. It's Barca brown-nosing for the sake of it really, but at least Ronaldo got the recognition he deserves this season. In years to come when I look back on the Messi vs Ronaldo debate I'll most likely side with Messi overall, but this year Ronaldo has murdered him in almost every statistic.

    Ramos, too. I'd say it's more "Real Madrid & Barcelona" brown nosing than anything. Those two clubs seem to have some man in FIFA ensuring they are safe to pretty much everything. I'll respect them a lot more when they aren't effectively the Celtic & Rangers of Scotland. Well. Before Rangers crashed. You know what I mean.

    I will say however that it just makes Athletico's achievements all the more impressive.

    Athletico haven't achieved anything yet. Hey BoB, who was the last non-Barca/Real team to win the Spanish league? And who was their manager? He must've been pretty good.

    Yeah, I know! Still someone who completely lost it in front of a worldwide audience not once but twice, though.

    EDIT: Perhaps "lost it" is a tad extreme. He "had Keegan moments"?

    EDITRA: Also, say what you like about Athletico, but their W/D/L ratio is insanely good at the moment.
