NavMan 0 Posted May 15, 2005 Rich - why was it a cruel way to go down. Before the game we were in the driving seat and we then proceed to get absolutely thumped 6-0 with only one save for Van der Sar. YesI know the ref made some bad decisions but I dont think we were in it for the fight today and overall a very poor performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclay Boy 0 Posted May 16, 2005 Well I don''t agree with you there. We were in for the fight until we went 2-0 down. The ref was a joke. Should have had two penalties in the first half, Fulhams second goal should not have stood as it was not a foul in the first place. Ashton had a goal disallowed for a supposed foul on Knight. In the opening half hour there was only one team in the game and that was Norwich. When we went 2-0 down I think we had the stuffing knocked out of us. To say we were not in the fight in rubbish. Would you have taken our situation we were in today at the start of the season? I think so!!The reason we are going down is we couldn''t win games that we had perfect chances to win. Villa at home, Palace away, Spurs away etc! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
We need a Manager 0 Posted May 16, 2005 Have to agree that was a truly abysmal display the only consolation was we knew our fate from early on , must have been much worse for Palace who were safe with just a few minutes to go. As for next season if we are going to bounce straight back we will need some good additions to the team because what we saw today would not make the play offs.

rich 0 Posted May 16, 2005 navman I meant the fact that we had got ourselves in the box seat to not take advantage was cruel to us, the fans.I agree we let ourselves down today or rather some players did. at the end of the day we weren''t good enough andgot relegated.
