Apart from Dunn playing INTENTIONALLY volleyball and not being yellow-red carded, and another strong penalty shout turned down this time we were denied well deserved perfect goal. I am really fed up and not buying into the cliché that the things are evening themselves up in the long run, we were robbed once again and lost precious points in the battle for 4th.

Well done to DM and boys but I am afraid that its not in our hands whether we will finish 4th.

Perhaps you are a masochist that revels in our club getting fucked over big style!? As a club I am confident we will rise above the injustices and claim top 4 inspite of the handicaps imposed by incompetent officials. However, that does not mean we should not take exception to being shafted, whether intentional or not. NSNO should apply to officiating too you know, hence the need for technology that is readily employed successfully already in sports less popular and monied than the Barclays Premier League.

TV technology would not have given us a goal today as they?re only planning to use it for "did the ball cross the line?" incidents . The assistant referee should be brought to task for this game more than Wylie, his decision to signal for a thrown in to blackburn when Arteta had his legs taken from under him when feet away from the incident is the worst decidion I?ve seen, at least Wylie overruled him.

Lets have a level playing field,.. please!

The team are playin really well. i think vaughany should be selected up front with johnson as his introduction made a huge impact on the game. Johnson took advantage of his three knock-ons within 5 minutes.

Even though it is a much lesser competition I think that the FA does extend that same support to the clubs competing in the Uefa Cup. I don?t think this support manifests itself in allowing the top four to cheat at will, or do what they want.

I do not think either that the FA would offer the support to the detriment of other teams. I mean, do you really think that they would be as blatant as to tell referees to make sure that Arsenal, Liverpool, Utd and Chelsea get every single break in every single game? Do you really think that the FA would tell it?s referees to ignore blatant handballs, crude tackles, and yellow and red card offences in order to give the top four an edge over everyone else? I for one don?t.

I do think that referees now see themselves being above the law themselves, given that the FA are too cowardly to challange them on anything.

The team,with the exceptions of Manny and Osman, were absolutely brilliant today. AJ was first rate against a couple of brutally clumsy centre-backs, Jags and Lescott were supreme. Once Manny finds his feet again he will surely be a larger influence.

You can complain (with some justification) that Moyesie once again fucked up with the timing of his substitution; one thing that can't be doubted, however, is the motivational skills of the man. This is a team we should all be mighty proud of. COYB!!!
