Knowing us, we'll now go and play the most dull game tomorrow KNOWING that its a must win.

It'll probably be 0-0 until the 85th when one side will score. Lets PRAY that it's us. With this insane fixture list we have coming up we can't fuck up and lose twice to West bloody Ham.

Man Utd were what they've been all season, awful. Yet, this team is 15 points clear. I've not seen them play well at all, not once and i genuinely mean that. Anyway let's hope they win the league at the Emirates and give those gooner cunts a glimpse at silverware. Anyway guys i'm sure we'll do the job tomorrow. It's the run of games after Rubin away that's the worry. Tottenham at home will be our biggest game of the season.

Which speaks volumes for Man-City..

Worst title defence ever. Heck, we're 4th and we've been playing with 10 men.

It speaks volumes for all of us really but yeah at least we actually retained our title the first time we won it and always challenged right to the death in the years after. And at least we won the title on points. They've still gone 45 years without winning the league on points. I know they are happy but that fact would annoy be a bit if i was a City fan. Ah and the fact that they've been knocked out the UCL group stages 2/2.

Eeamon Dolan yesterday:

"It was a clear penalty but I think the referee thought I was on work experience and 'a perfect little 1-0 loss for Reading' would be fine. I wouldn't have expected that from the referee but what can you do? Vidic and Mariappa are watching the ball, Vidic looks at him and pushes him - it's a clear penalty. But it's Manchester United away, so you don't get it! We worked very hard for four days on the best way we felt would be to get a result. With a bit of luck, we could have got a draw. We made them work really, really hard for the win, that's for sure. If we'd come into today with four wins behind us, I think we would have got a result - that's the way football works sometimes."

Norwich a bit unlucky in both cases but I think both calls were correct.

The red card was terribly harsh. The ball hit below his arm on his chest. Even if he handled the ball, it should have been a yellow only. Fletcher was even offside before the handball so the penalty was a little controversial too.

Well dats norwich's luck :P

The ball hit Bunn's right arm, it was rightly red because Fletcher would have had a clear goal scoring opportunity. As for the pen, having seen it again at HT, you are right, Fletcher was offside and there should not have been a pen.

Wasn't intentional from bunn tho, I think petr cech has made a similar mistake too and was given a yellow.
