    I don't think Morrison is better than HH on the ground and he sure as hell ain't better than him in the air!!

    From a Welshman's point of view, it's great to see Morison improving, and to be fair I did have a lot of doubts about his ability to step up. Pre-season I thought we'd done by far a much better bit of business bringing in Graham, and while I still think that's true, Morison has played a lot better thus far than I thought he would.

    Will admit Morrison has done better than I expected, and a bit like the earlier post I did is probably underrated by opposition fans.
    But still would be surprised if he bully's our defence on sat

    Oh yes and we won at Wolves, Stoke, Everton which i cannot see you doing, infact you have only won once away this season.
    I also don't see you beating Chelsea or scoring 2 goal against Man City.
    So you could say i would take the 3 goal spankings because even with 3 goal spankings we have done better than you so far.

    No doubt the victories against Stoke and Everton were impressive, and sounds like you played phenomenally well against Man City. You can even pat yourselves on the back for the Wolves result.

    BUT! Surely there is no way you can make a song and dance of the Chelsea result. 9-man Chelski had your backs to the wall! I'd be embarrassed not to thrash in those circumstances.

    well he's bullied every single defence successfully so far this season - not one defence has managed to cope with him so well played if your lot do it <ok>

    he is definitely underrated - i liked what i saw of him with millwall but in all honesty he's a much better footballer than i thought he was and he's pretty quick too. sometimes his first touch lets him down a bit but i'd have to say he's been one of our top players this season and should reach double figures for the season quite comfortably, maybe even 15 which would be a terrific return. i'm more surprised by how well helguson has done! he's no spring chicken either so must be a real bonus for you guys

    just to add to what rob said, we have played man utd, chelsea and liverpool away from home so we were hardly likely to win any of them! qpr's result against chelsea was one of the biggest farces i've seen in football - i dread to think what the score would have been 11v11!! they totally and utterly spanked you in all but score line but credit to you for hanging on. qpr's away results have been impressive but they beat stoke who are playing rubbish and conceding loads, everton who are having their usual early season flirt with the drop zone before finally getting their act together and your win at wolves was certainly a tremendous performance. in my opinion there is very little between our teams at present... that could change in january when you throw your money about but its barking mad to suggest that somehow rangers are streets ahead of city at this moment in time

    Norwich played better against us than Rangers did. They tried to play football, rangers tried to kick us off the park and to their credit it worked.
    Think Rangers should stay up though, but they don't play football the right way; Warnock's sides rarely do

    Strangely enough, when it was 11v11 we were much the better side; when it went to 11v9 Chelsea threw caution to the wind and we didn't seem to know how to deal with that. It was a tactical dilemma. Result clearly shows that we won fairly and don't make me laugh about who was trying to kick who off the park; Chelsea got 2 reds and 7 yellows as opposed to two yellows for QPR.

    partly agree with that - chelsea completely lost their discipline and deserved to lose for that reason alone, though chelsea were far the better team over the 90 minutes. qpr do play decent football under warnock from what i've seen. sure they can mix it up when needed but so can we! sign of a decent team being able to adapt to different styles when required.

    Chelsea lost their heads and then match, end of story.
    Did play well with 9 though , but that just added to the drama. #greatmatch

    But Norwich didn't beat you where as QPR did. Is that souring your judgement and the fact your team totally lost their heads that day, your manager is up on a misconduct charge and your captain is up on a racism charge? Oh, and your team accumulated 2 reds and 7 yellows against our 2 yellows. Who was doing the kicking???

    We totally played you off the park 11 V 11. 11 V 9 we were very tactically naive but we held on for a win even though we missed several chances ourselves.

    I'm concerned, but not surprised, that you just happened to have those pics on your hard drive......

    And I partly agree with that!
    I wouldn't say they were far the better team over the 90 minutes; we were better first half and they were better 2nd and finished stronger, no question. All academic now.
    Would you agree that there is more pressure on you to win this game than on us, and that brings it's own dangers. Your next few games look tough ( on paper!) and so if you don't get anything from this game you will be quite a few pts in arrears.
    There is little or no pressure on us on the other hand; even if we lose we will still be only one point behind you!

    And Hammersmithblue,

    don't forget the F.A. fined your club £25,000 for failing to control your players that day. Your team lost their heads completely so don't come on here crying and trying to say that your team lost that day because the team just promoted from the Championship had the audacity to kick your superstars off the pitch.

    You were beaten fair and square.
