Ref has got all 3 descisions wrong for me. (Goalkeepers union probably influencing me on the red card though)
 
That particular quote of mine did refer to the Bunn handball. But a fairly irrelevant point, seeing as though I did later say that the Bassong handball was also correct. However yes, upon replay, Fletcher was indeed offside when the ball was played.

Yes sorry, losing the plot here, how was that latest handball not a penalty?
 
This games just shows how poor Sunderland are. With all due respect to Norwich, it's not like they're a team on great form right now. And yet with better finishing (Holt) and better officiating (Rose handball), 10 man Norwich could be 3-1 here, away from home.

Even if Sunderland nick this 2-1, they are poor.
 
I don't know how you think Fulham are boring. With players like Ruiz and Berbatov they have some really creative players.

That's the excuse people use to say they aren't boring to watch, in reality they are deadly boring. As most of Martin Jol's teams are.

Well I suppose most teams are boring to watch compared to watching Saints. <whistle> I'm just glad that I support a team that plays great football and scores plenty of goals.
 
Just want Wigan to lose so they only have one game in hand. Any result for this Norwich/Sunderland is ok for us on one level or another. Sunderland loss would keep them below us, but would move Norwich away. A draw would put Sunderland over us, but keep everyone fairly close. A win for Sunderland would keep Norwich close. Nothing to fuss about, but Wigan loss all the way.

Agreed, I've no idea why Soy thought Norwich v Sunderland is a game worth televising, pretty boring fixture.
 
Norwich continue to do what they need to do. Pick up the odd point here and there, and trudge towards the finish line. Not pretty, but it will see them safe, and almost certainly with games to spare.

It's a horror weekend for Sunderland if Wigan next up.
 
Sunderland have got a horror run of fixtures coming up - I wouldn't rule them out of the relegation race yet.
 
Norwich really were stiffed by the officials there. But that's a far better result for them than Sunderland. Irrelevant for us, we're staying up anyway.
