Can I also say, I don't agree with the which hunt by our crowd on Casper either. No different to any ex Leeds player coming down 'The Pharm' but some of the treatment he got was appalling at times, no wonder he lost it at the end a two fingered everybody. Mind you his blatant time wasting from the first minute to the 85th didn't help his cause.

I think you have misunderstood our style of play. Passing it back to the keeper - who then waits for the attacker to close hiom down before passing - creates space to allow us to build up from the back. as we did on quite a few occasions. Not time wasting - creating space.

If I were our opponents I'd tell the forwards to allow Greer a yard and then close down as soon as CA plays it. He does have a habit of getting caught in possession near our box.

On the imaginary card thing, is it really any worse than players surrounding the ref and demanding action or a manager screaming at the 4th official? That seems to be the "British way." The sad fact is that refs react to crowds, players and managers, that is why they do it. If no-one appeals for a pen would one be given? Rarely. Clark's interview seemed to be his attempt to grab the populist ground occupied by the likes of Andy Gray, Jamie Redknapp etc of cheating Johnny Foreigner. Michael Owen cleverly wins penalties while Mikael Owenino is a cheat who dives.

course casper was time wasting, he took the piss on every goal kick, but as soon as you were 2-1, he wasnt doing your so called "style of play" and even when he had the ball at his feet, okay he wasnt illegaly time wasting but when a team top of the league come and slow the game down and come for what looks like a draw, what advert does this show for the league? Poor leaders, cant see you there for long, hope im not going to be eating humble pie. Murray is a superb player too, garner is a soft diving bastard and we moan about it ourselves, you lot are so bias you cant see that poyet cries everytime you lose or have a bad result. and afobe driving? he came on and held the ball up stayed strong and on his feet, what garner should do. bullies

F**k me some of you are just as bad as Clark. Poyet slagged off "the English" so how is he not as much of a racist as Clark as you so eloquently put?

All your players were card waving from the highlights, the thing that made me laugh the most was the pressure the players put on the officials at the end trying to claim the ball was over the line. As for Clark's gesture at the end, don't pretend you wouldn't absolutely love it if Poyet did it roles reversed.

Poyet's fast becoming the new Neil Warnock with his media remarks...

waving of imaginary red cards is not and English thing....apart from Joe Cole...it is something we have seen more and more in Europe...that is not racist, its a FACT.

That's like saying English players don't dive. It isn't a nationality thing, it is a football thing. A lot of players wave imaginary cards, just as the fans and managers do. How many times do we see thoroughly English managers ask why a player who conceded a penalty wasn't sent off?
