I'd have snatched someone's hands off this morning for a point. I thought we were very well organised TFM, Kelly, Tomkins and PVA were immense in defence. I'm not even that p@ssed off Milo missed the pen. On that listening to Michael Owen who I generally think is a kn@b - on this occasion he may have a point. Going back to the Bournemouth game when Benteke took the penalty and missed in similar circumstances - last minute, Milo didn't as the designated penalty taker didn't appear to make that much of a fuss. Owen's suggestion was that maybe Milo didn't/doesn't fancy the pressure in the last minute - now Owen would know being a regular penalty taker himself. So perhaps on the basis of today there is something more behind the Bournmouth / Benteke penalty than we know/realise - one thing for sure Benteke wasn't going to take it today. As I said I don't agree with Michael Owen very often - on this occasion he may have a valid point - taking a penalty at 0-0 in the 50th minute is totally different to taking one at 0-0 in the 90th. I certainly wouldn't be putting my hand up to take it - so fair play to those that do..!! Personally I'd have let Wilf take it - he is so full of confidence. On Wilf - Graham Poll after the game - there is contact but not enough to go down - it's a dive and Wilf should be banned for diving. So hang on a minute Graham you have now developed the ability to dicipher/determine sufficient contact for a player to go to ground - and beyond that despite contact suggest a player dived and should be banned...!! Shame you never had that foresight when you were reffing instead of punditry - where all you do is for effect...!! Kn@b..!! Anyway we have done today what 18 teams before us have failed to do - and for that we should feel very proud - well done Roy and the boys. COYP

There was contact. It may have been a soft penalty but there was contact. Why do some people believe that if it wasn’t a penalty it’s a dive? This coming from the ref who issued 3 yellow cards to be played!!!

Very very proud of the boys even though we missed a pen. Roy Hodgson is a tactical genius setting up team the way he did. We will have some tired legs for the saints game but hopefully Jimmy mac and Sako will be back. Chuffed with our performance and we didn't just sit back like Newcastle did thee other day COYP

The panel should not listen to w***er Poll. He is paid to be sensational.

Ok, Walker is great, but he shoves players all the time and no foul. I just don't get it.

Personally I thought the ref made the right decision re penalty. Sterling definitely nudged Wilf and at his speed that is enough to lose your balance.
