Lampard quote after the game - "It's one of the games that makes me happiest.'' We had struggled beforehand but we shut the door after our second goal yesterday and never let Blackburn have a sniff. This ability to control the game is as impressive as anything this season and not something I have seen from us for a very long time. It felt totally secure; fantastic winning mentality and on the pitch clearly driven and led by Grimes.

There was one really strange throw-in decision in the first half which was very obviously ours and was given to Blackburn.
I dare say I know the one you mean, and it led to a chorus of boos. I could see why people thought it was a bad call, but I was pretty close to it and the official (just a few feet from the incident) was dead right. Deceptive, but the ball definitely came off the city player last as it went out.

It really didn’t. Watched the reply. Thomas-Asante played it onto the defenders boot and out. Didn’t ricochet back.

Can't be arsed to find the replay, and it's not worth arguing about, but from my position (pretty close) it very subtly squeezed/brushed off our player. I remember thinking the lino's gonna get slaughtered here and I wasn't wrong 🙂

Edit: we may not even be talking about the same incident of course!

Yes you're correct here about the final comment

Nah, can’t be the same one. The one I’m on about is when BTA was in their corner, tried to play it back down the line and it’s come off the Rover’s player’s foot and out. No other city player near and this didn’t come back towards BTA, so I’m pretty sure it’s a different incident.

I think we have to get used to the idea that we are every team's cup final now, at least until we lose a game or two. And teams can play against us with freedom because they are not going to face major criticism if they lose.

Apparently Man United are looking at stealing Shepherd off us....

Oh bugger. I was talking to my wife about him yesterday... how it was amazing that we had a 16 year old make it to the bench without being collected for a few quid by one of the behemoths. Such is life. The kids want to go, bewitched by fantasies of Beckham-like glamour. Who can blame them? But if it's inevitable I wish the authorities would not allow them to unsettle kids like this and make them pay through the nose to acquire.

The simplest retort yesterday would’ve been “where were you when you were good”.

They had attendances of 16k the year they finished 6th in the premier league 🤯

Yeah, singers corner should have sung.

Where were you when you were good. 🤣
