Possibly the least surprising football news I've ever heard. Default position on Dyer is to simply assume he's out for the season.

'twas in the FA Cup.

Always thought Di Canio's is one of the most overrated goals I've seen. Great strike obviously but the best in the Premier League? Bet it wasn't even the best that month.

Just listening to the Ramble, has it been pointed out that Ranger has his electronic tag on under his sock?

Can't even remember the last time I saw a Premier League player stumble, if a leg goes out it's become acceptable to take a massive leap over it and if an arm is on your shoulder, it's now ok to fall like a stone, every time. Both times, it's always the defence of "contact". Bloody sick of it tbh. The refs are canny shit but the players aren't making it easy for them, neither is the widespread acceptance of a professional athlete and grown man falling upon being touched in any way.

I think it was a dive, which highlights the point I made above about interpretation. Re: Meireles - I thought Yaya Toure and Kompany were both very lucky to stay on. Obviously the point remains that Clattenberg might have had a poor game, don't think he was any worse for either side though.

Which decision(s) in particular?

Great watching a team play a game out like that. Best way to hold onto a lead is to pass the ball and keep it simple rather than shitting yourself and defending on your own goal line. Man City couldn't even get the ball in the last ten minutes.

Made a big difference to Chelsea not having Luiz clowning around at the back.

2 points the gap at the top now should it stay the same.

I don't think it's feasible to have video evidence on penalty claims - yes, some will clear up easily when cheating cunts like Sebastian Larsson handle on the line then claim it hit them in the face or when cheating cunts like Sebastian Larsson take a ridiculous dive but even after repeated viewing, so many penalties are still simply a matter of opinion that can't be cleared up by video. How many times do we have debates on here about whether something was or wasn't a red card/penalty/free kick? Bringing in video evidence for that just passes the interpretation from one person to another.

I'd rather shuffle the pack and play Simpson at centre half than see Perch there again. Simpson's done a much better job there when he's been asked to, not that that's saying much.

Aye, failing to win against Man United, Man City and Chelsea was definitely down to the forward pairing like. Ronaldo's become a rather tired and embarrassing parody of himself this season. Tedious.

Training with Forest, it's on .com.

Ages ago, he's back now though.

And who's with Spongebob?

Can he play centre half?

What's an official return date anyway? If it comes from the manager, you can usually add at least a month on top anyway.

Desperately need three points here to arrest the mini slide.

I'd definitely be hoping to see this bloke against Swansea if Tiote is still out although I'm fairly disappointed by Vuckic's disappearance given his impressive pre-season.

I'd love to see Bassong back, how much would he go for? Wouldn't feel bad about slinging him back on the bench when Taylor returns either.

Ah.

How come Barca have played two more games than most, and one more than everyone?
