    Uncanny!

    Could he possibly wear a paper bag over his head? It would be kinder for all.

    Balaclava, iron mask, sack anything than the sight of the dribbling cheat grinning on the sidelines. Oh the humanity. Oh the horror of it all.

    A balaclava is a good suggestion.
    Moog can give Medea a call to weave one similar to the one she made for Jason's new squeeze,Glauce!

    On the subject of referees I thought Moss was poor today considering he is a regular Premier league referee.

    He cannot run without getting out of breath. Blows out of his backside continually. Was awful as normal. Would not let him officiate a pub league. Probably best mates with Gavin ***** Ward. The state of refereeing in this country has to be at it's lowest ebb in years. UEFA and FIFA do not think our officials are competent. On this matter they are correct.

    You can only laugh

    They’re so consistently poor and reliant on luck/refs you have to assume it will eventually fall apart for them. We were exactly the same under Ivic, it can’t last forever

    “I’ll have to ask Steve for a contact number for his dad, Keith Cooper, he must have influences somewhere. They had a penalty on Wednesday which was never a penalty. They probably will be promoted if they keep on getting the right referees."

    I think on paper we are still third favourites for the second automatic spot. However Brentford are notorious chokers and Swansea simply aren’t as good as us.

    I think we’re up friends.

    "They were diving all over the place... If they keep getting the 'right' referees, they will go up". Warnock's not wrong tbf.

    Hopefully enough people see this and officials become more aware of their antics!

    If he was only poor then he’s had a good game.

    We need Moore and Nelson to get booked in our game. They are both on 4 yellows. The “luck” aka paid off the refs, that Swansea keep getting will no doubt show its self in the Cardiff Stoke game before the derby game. If Moore and Nelson don’t get booked in our game, to miss the Stoke game, you can put your house on it that the ref will book them in the Stoke game for nothing, to miss the Swansea game.

    The only good thing about today was Bournemouth failing to win. If they finish outside the top 6 I think you will see a drastic decline in their fortunes.

    Swansea's back-to-back wins have certainly taken the gloss of Watford's last two victories, but all we can hope is the refereeing manipulation does not continue and fair results ensue.

    Swansea have a match at Blackburn on Tuesday, so hopefully they will drop points there, then by a strange quirk of fate both sets of fans will be hoping fierce rivals win on Saturday. Watford play at Cardiff, Swansea play at Luton!!

    Very possible. It depends on their owner of course who is minted, but all evidence so far this season suggests he isn’t willing to bank roll them anymore.

    All I can say is that as well as a knowing nothing about football, you also have a very weird sense of humour.

    I remind you this all started because I suggested after the 6-0 win that there is a "strong possibility" that we could finish in the top two.

    You responded at the time by telling me it was the most "one-swallow post ever posted on the forum"

    I explained several times that I was looking at the whole season that far, and it was based on what I think our player quality was - not just one game.

    You then proceeded to "counsel" (your word) me to wait for more than a single victory before making such a claim. This is a sentence you used in the same discussion. You highlighted the word "must".

    You think that we must all be as negative as you. How sad!

    So after we actually reached the top two today I posted a short message to you and two other posters asking if it was ok to suggest that we may finish in the top two, yet? Nothing nasty, no name calling, just a bit of fun. Jumbo took it in good heart, but your response was;

    "Grow up, old man"

    Now I know that as you are probably way past your bedtime by now, anyone probably seems old to you, but that is a bit pathetic, even for you.

    Then tonight after mentioned that it looked like teams around us were dropping points (after Boro equalised) you couldn't even wait for a few minutes before posting back gloating how I was wrong after Swansea scored the penalty, saying you hope it was a "lesson learned" by me (more counselling). I'm trying to get my head around what makes you tick, but I certainly don't need any help from you on how to be negative, thanks.

    To be honest something you said on the Shoutbox today made me chuckle a little bit. It was after Sanchez had been on for about 4 minutes, maybe less, and you said that he's shown to "habitually pass to players that aren't expecting it and putting them under pressure", I am only paraphrasing the last bit slightly.

    "Habitually" you said - after about 4 minutes on the pitch after not playing football for about a year, so desperate were you to knock the player.

    Now that was quite funny.

    @zztop & @Chumlax you are both very decent members of the forum and you are entitled to your opinions. But can you please refrain from calling each other out. If you cannot get on please use the ignore function. There has been one or two of these personal arguments in threads in which posts have had to be removed as they are derailing the thread and which may occur shortly. We don't want as an admin team become heavy handed in any regard but please bear this in mind.

    Please keep contributing but be a bit more mindful gentlemen as you are both agreeable chaps. :) Lets focus on berating the opposition and officials.

    ZZ, I will refrain from responding to the bulk of this post, despite my desire to do so, out of respect for both Smudger's request and, indeed, the wider point that it has gone on long enough and I don't need to take up any more of anyone else's precious reading time on one back and forth.

    The one thing I will say, however, is that you are being incredibly disingenuous in your 'paraphrasing' of my comment on the shoutbox - a place that lends itself to, and is mostly used for, flippant and irreverent commentary. Anyone who reads what I post on there knows full well the spirit in which those comments are made and, largely, read. Using it in the manner that you have done here to further some obsessive and false notion of me being desperate to criticise players because in other situations, I am capable of recognising flaws in their game, is demeaning to you, and says more than enough about your motives in posting.

    Being a masochist I have watched Quest or more accurately the Swansea v Boro game.
    I was wrong,it wasn't a penalty for Swansea.
    The banjo player is straight faced as he declares both the Stoke and today's as "stonewall".
    They cut back to the studio and Murray and Ashton pause for a moment and then say "well Steve Cooper has got both of those wrong".
    It gets worse the more you watch it.

    Maybe we’ll gain a dislike to Swansea as we did with Bournemouth in our previous promotion season for their constant diving and feigning of injury. Having seen the game today, I thought it was ridiculous with them trying to con the ref. It would be sweet if we beat them on the final day of the season with a last minute penalty, to gain second place.
