***Official Norwich v City Match Thread***

[Ted Hughes]

Great win v the referee.

if ever was needed an evidence on their influence. How would have stood the scoreline, otherwise?

At least 6 possibly 8.

[Swales4ever]

One of the worst refs I remember in my life couldn't beat our beloved City today at Norwich: SUPERBIA IN PROELIO!

He wasn't incompetent he was bent.

No fucking point.

These wankers are all in it together.

[Dubaimancityfan]

Big 3 points. Everything was against us starting with the ref and the cunt assistant. Some dodgy defending but in the end the lads came through. Relieved big time !

[s1ty m]

Definite appeal required!!

What is the point?! Really, Mancini makes a joke about the ref having too much food and gets an FA letter. It's utterly stitched up, without any doubt, and Redna hit the nail on the head earleir. It really is sickening these days, the bias is just appalling.

[Gregruz]

Great game for us against the refs and Norwich. Never a red card for nasri we should definitely appeal that one. We finally showed a little something today but still not hitting top form

[Douglas Higginbottom]

I hear SAF left the dug out to get a call through to Norwich to tell the ref he was helping the wrong City.

[Londonblue1]

Performance was alot better today and twice as good as recent showing.battled hard when down to ten and when faced with the rough end of some decisions.very happy with the points and more so the goals.if we can score 3/4 we won't lose any games unless someone gets sent off again.

[Ted Hughes]

The football we were playing before that wanker intervened was superb. It combined the pass & move style with more traditional, straightforward English Prem football (as played by a team not so far from here).

It proves we can do it. It's not some fucking pipe dream by people like me, asking the impossible, it's something we can do, & should be, doing.

If we are going to get these points back (and then not drop them again) every game needs this attitude. Bob has shown he can get this point across with almost miraculous results, he has to push & push & push, so it happens every week, not get sidetracked by back 3s & bollocks.

[Dameerto]

Early reaction certainly seems to be sympathetic towards us for the Nasri red card - tweets to the Beeb calling it disgraceful to red card him when comparing it to RVP's reaction just last game (I think last game?)

[gillie]

Great win considering the cunt of a ref wanted to play till Norwich equalised.It's not even being slightly hidden anymore the bias against us It's just full on blatant.

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Great performance under the circumstances. When we attack at that pace we can be deadly. All the goals were from quick passing. None of this 'lets pass the ball sideways and allow the other team to get 10 men behind the ball'.

[Beefymcfc]

It had fucking everything that did. Great performance going forward, shite refereeing to keep them in it and then shite refereeing to the end, including nearly 7 minutes of added time for good measure.

I enjoyed that we mixed it up going forward and that the midfield chased their players down. What I hated was whenever they got anywhere in our half was the referee was going to give them a freekick. Our defence lost it's shape a little and that free header, following another free header was terrible defending.

We're over the line though but I'm not sure if it helps. That would have drained our team and when you've got Stoke coming you need all the energy you can get. Also, is it worth challenging the FA over the Nasri incident? They both squared up after a terrible follow through but because [strike]it's City[/strike] Nasri slightly moved his head towards the side then there's no real point.

Mean while, United win at a canter with West Brom resting quite a few of their players. It was that competitve that only one yellow card was given. Obviously Valencia did not read the script.

Onwards and upwards Blues and let's see what New Years Day brings ;-)

[1980Nezy]

I agree wiv 3 at the back and decent wing backs wich we have in zaba n clichy even kolarov n richards wen ther back and maicon whos dun it 4eva but we need 2 stop the ball goin in r net!its great scorin 4 but its shit lettin 3 in!suppose its 3 points tho!

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Thanks to Norwich for starting the game trying to win. It gave City space to play in and we love that.

Thanks from the Norwich fans to the referee for making a game of it.Even allowing for the sending off there were plenty of decisions to keep Norwich going for it.

[Moonchesteri]

Great win v the referee.

Exactly that

definitely.
in your face Mike Jones (wasn't that the name of the ref?)!!

Exactly my thoughts there mate. It was nice to see Norwich having a go and without that freekick they'd have been nowhere. Roll on the Nasri sending off and you just got that feeling, I don't know why, that the ref was going to make a game of it.

Forget all the about the manager, players, tactics, formations, this season will not be going our way. The clear freekick on Zab which took him out of the play, and who had AJ in his pocket until then, and then todays performance by the ref!

It's all about Taggart this year, he needs it. Nobody will get in his way.
