That was a career ending tackle he did. I'm sure the boot will be on the other foot when we come to the Bridge later on.
Anybody made a few quid on the results?

Yeah Drogba's was a red card without a doubt (don't know what's up with him this season)

Even the Bosingwa red card and the penalty I can accept that those decisions will go against you sometimes
What annoys me is when you compare them both to Ferdinand rugby tackling Lamps, and not getting a penalty let alone a red card. And then Helguson bearhugging Luiz at every opportunity, which was 10x worse than Luiz shoving Helguson

Not to mention how every one of our fouls was deemed worthy of a yellow card

Were you at the game yesterday? To be fair that was one of the best atmosphere's I've been to in a while (although it's still a crap ground )

I wasn't at the game phoenix, I reckon it must have been something in the weather thst made man city beat Man U and us winning our first game over you forv 16 years!! I agree it's a crap ground, but when it's rocking it's pretty special.
When do you play Fulham?

We wasn't doing too bad at all, only two points off the play-offs.

Gutted

Maybe he'll now be offered the Team GB job!!
I can't understand why they sacked him if you're only two points off the play-offs!! And I don't think the Leicester boaerd will approach McClaren given his record at Forest. They'd be mad if they did!!

Played them a couple of weeks ago in the Carling Cup, but we got them in the league on Boxing Day (won't be going though).

Congrats to Shamrock Rovers on winning their 17th league of Ireland Title

And to Shelbourne on winning promotion

Well, I reckon if you beat Fulham on Boxing Day, I doubt if there'll be a West London team with bragging rights this season!! I'm sure that JT will clear his name though as I think the press (as per usual) have overblown it out of proportion and really and honestly it should have been settled in private. ki'm JT's team mates will back him up as much as Anton's will.

So do they qualify for Champions League or Europa League?
