Looking at a few of the earlier posts, thought I would say a few things,
1 - Bassongs tackle was fair but was probably too hard, hence the booking. What got me was the fact that Nasri rolled around like he would never walk again - an attempt to get Seb sent off? As soon as he realised that was not going to happen he was up like a shot, went head to head to Seb ( Which even I would not want to do!) and then proceeded to try and headbutt him hence the ref had no choice but to send him off.
2, Kompany's tackle looked like he won the ball first but I thought that 2 footed tackles were deemed dangerous hence a foul! Perhaps if we were a bigger name that would have been given but as we still seem to be 'little Norwich' in some peoples eyes we are expected to put up with those kind of things.
3, Mancini is a grumpy old git - his team won and all he could do was moan. Hughton and our lads lost yet seemed more cheerful - great comeback from them after what happened in the first ten minutes.
4, I know its a long shot but the red tops still could not come up with an unbiased match report if you put a dozen of them in a locked room for a thousand years, or so it seems.
A guess this seem like a bit of a rant- sorry lads and roll on West ham on new years day.
