Boursachi, if you don't want to see that in a top match then I suggest you never watch Barcelona in the Champions League.

EXACTLY!!
arsenal, rvp red card; chelsea, penalties; madrid, acting for cards

i came to expect this from the champions league fixtures, but to see it more and more often in the epl makes me fear that it will be a common thing week in week out

much deserved win for qpr, don't get me wrong, they worked their asses off and DESERVED the win for holding their own and believing, well done. just as city deserved it for silva/milner in midfield, BUT the evans red card affected the game directly (killing it basically) as did the bad decisions in the chelsea game

part of sport, i get that, but this is at a PROFESSIONAL level where you can afford to make a mistake but not have a hand in changing the outcome

United was just dumb and naive thinking they could go attacking with only 10players on the pitch against a good team. City kindly explained that to us...

The Bosingwa red card is a tricky one, at the end of the day it could go either way. I personally like to see a bit of back and forth when two players are going after the ball, and I think that's all it was. Now if Bosingwa chops him down, or blatantly just pulls him down because he cant catch up to him, then I think it's red.

Drogba's red was most definately deserved, just a dumb tackle. Even Mikel had a word with Drog's as he was leaving the field and you could see Drogba telling him he didnt want to hear it. Ultimately though, it was just a terrible tackle.

My issues with the ref were mainly just the incosistency. You cant make calls like the penalty decision for QPR, then not give them for the Lampard and Luiz situation.

I disagree with Boursachi that QPR deserved to win, I think it should have been 1-1, that would have been a much more fair result.

The ref determined the outcome of this game, not the players. I think Chelsea got so sidetracked by the referee that it completely took them out of their normal mindset.

Overall just a horrible, sloppy performance by Chelsea.

I'm looking forward to having Torres back next game, I'm hoping he can continue his good form as of late.

I hate to say it, as Drogba is probably my favorite player of all time, but he is looking like a shell of his former self. Gone are the days of him just dominating defenses with his strength and pace. he looks as if he's just going through the motions lately.

This is so awesome.

Mario Balotelli went shopping for his mum to buy an iron - but the Manchester City striker returned with a trampoline, a Scalextric, two Vespas and a ping pong table.
I cant tell you how much I loved Scalextric when I was a kid. Friends of our family is Essex had a massive barn that they converted into the biggest Scalextric setup ever, it was amazing.

I keep telling my wife I'm going to buy myself one some day.

Haha, that's what happens when you give millions of £ to someone who has the mental maturity of a 13-year old. His life must be completely insane.

What I would give for spending a night on the town with supermario. I bet he's a ton of fun even though he doesn't even drink!

How do you throw out a whole season within one game?

That's what United people said about Arsenal after our whipping. Now we've won 7 of 8, and we're about to embarrass Chelsea on Saturday
