[The Original Special One]

Well happy with that performance, they came back at us late on but was going to happen down to ten men.

Balo card being straight red, whats the crack on an appeal??? I know we would lose he was stupid, but thinking time scales for Wed.

Theres no way that will be reduced.
He was just plain stupid.
And he'll have to curb these childish tantrums, because otherwise we'll only get one game in four out of him.
Cracking player, though.

And can only get better!

[The Original Special One]

Yaya was awesome today, think he has been given a big boot up the arse.

I only caught the second half but it was a wonderfully controlled performance
And just when I dropped him to my FF subs bench.

At least I made Gold'n Silva my skipper!

[Swales4ever]

Just let us have a fair referee against the scums, dont pray for anything else.

[Blue Noodle]

Very impressive today. Everyone put in a good shift. Worked hard for each other for the full 90mins, which isn't bad for a 'team in crisis'. Any commentator/pundit who still insists on calling Yaya a holding midfielder after that display needs a kick in the hoop.

[craigmcfc]

It was certainly a performance that defied all this "in-fighting" crap that we have to read on a daily basis. A similar shift on Wednesday night could well see another victory. Here's hoping

agree 100% sweetcheeks. That's the mentality we need to display every match if we're going to win something.

Balotelli...well...what can you say. Everyone saw it coming a mile away.

cheers

[ant london]

haha....fucking class from Mario....so predictable that he'd get sent off

what a talent the mental fucker is!

Reminds me of a certain Mr Rooney a couple of years ago. I wonder if he'll get the same indulgence from refs etc?

[Tokyo Blue]

FUCKING JOKE THAT WAS A SECOND YELLOW NOT STRAIGHT RED

BASED ENTIRELY ON THE FACT WERE PLAYING UNITED NEXT

EXACTLY THE SAME AS BANNING ADE FOR THE DERBY LAST YEAR

FUCKING CORRUPT JOKE

This.

"Anal" probert is the new alf grey. An absolute carve-up. There is not even any attempt at disguising it.

It won't matter. We have got loads of good players. The munes have got about five, with possibly one who might make it into our starting XI - and he's sniffing his career up his nose (or so I've heard).

I don't think you'd be laughing if West Brom had turned the game around after the sending off. :)
Incredibly stupid by Mario especially when already on a yellow.

No, I would still be laughing.....but for different reasons.

agreed it was fucking stupid.....but totally expected this from him. To be fair, Adebayor is several years older than Mario, with less of a reputation as a headcase and did something just as stupid, but more unforgivably so, when he stamped on RvP.

neither covered themselves in glory with those kind of antics but i'll give mario more latitude....he's a kid and he is new to the PL....he'll hopefully learn. Adebayor shouldn't have "needed to learn"

Yap, though if he had Milner's head amongst his ears he would be better than Messi already.
The bet is to take and win, hopefully.

Mancini said we're going to appeal, but he was still annoyed with Balotelli for getting involved.

not unless he declares for England!

[avoidconfusion]

Anyone seen how Chris Brunt was winding up Balotelli during the entire match?
Talking shit to him, leaving his legs out when tackling and then in one incident even blatently kicking him as Mario ran away from him with the ball... that happened right under the eyes of the referee as well, how that was not at least a yellow I will never know.

Utter cunt

[Blue Noodle]

If there's an appeal, does that mean that Mario won't be banned 'til after the derby? I hope so. He's going to make C*ntona look like Mary fupin' Poppins, and I want the rag twats to witness it first hand.

[Dubaimancityfan]

Man of the match for me today - Yaya outstanding !!!

Second that. He was tremendous today. Absolute class. Just hope that he's OK for Wednesday.

I'd worry about him getting sent off again!
Lets just let him cool his heels while Ade steps up to the plate!

[branny]

If we appeal he's available for Weds but will face an increased ban if we lose. Bacon did the same with the camel faced one so that he would be available for a derby as i seem to remember.

Yeah at the moment I could see exactly the same scenario. He'll learn from it
