I was amazed butt was not booked, total retribuition for the incident earlier, so i suppose for that he should have been sent off,as for FA looking at it they wont, because bad refereeing decision he not booked, so no furter action a disgrace for me, hope mr blatter has seen it, if he that interested, all those croatians reporters, this is typical inconsisent refs, has been like it for years now, |

I just hope Kapo and Larsson are back playing as soon as possible, De Ridder for some obscure reason isn't allowed anywhere near the team yet McSheffrey is *pauses in disbelief*, it's quite clear McFadden has to be upfront if we want to see the best of him and Forssell, and we have no other real options for the wings. :huh: |

It's more about this rubbish that Butt deliberately set out to hurt Larsson. It was embarassing and disrespectful to Martin Taylor when he was being accused of it, and made Arsenal and Croatia "fans" look like idiots. As a club we're better than that. |

But Taylor and Birmingham has had their name dragged through the mud over what happened two weeks ago and we still have'nt heard the last of it. If the powers that be want to set the bar on these 'challenges' then we have every right to be narked about last night. But because it's little Birmingham there won't be Blatter piping up or newspapers talking about it still in the weeks to come. Maybe some Swedish fans should do an internet petition calling for Butt to be banned ;) :P |

And the vast, vast majority of fans of all clubs I've spoken to think that Wenger, Fabregas, Gallas et al have acted like a bunch of idiots, done themselves a great disgrace and lost a lot of respect within the rest of the game through their actions. It's also no coincidence that since engaging so much of their time and effort in a smear campaign against the Blues they've failed to concentrate on the most important aspect of football, which is winning games. We don't need to go down the same road as they have, because we're better than that, and we have enough to concentrate on in the coming weeks. All Blues need to do is make sure Seb is back next season in a Blues shirt in the Premiership, where he belongs. |

Franscar, No. This is completely different and it is blatantly obvious. Butt deliberately set out to hrt Larsson time and time again finally succeeding before half time. Taylor was guilty of nothing more than a mistimed tackle. There was nothing mistimed about Butt's challenges, he went for Larsson and got there every time. |

Where has this been confirmed. The only report I can currently find is on the SKY website that says that larsson 'looks set to be sidlined for the rest of the season' which is typical Sky reporting, not reporting the facts but guessing at the outcome. This was reported earlier this afternoon but at the time of typing this there is nothing on our web site. |

Absolutely spot on. After The shoulder-barge incident, as Butt was walking away Larsson held his hand out to apologise, and Butt ignored it, obviously upset. I said to my Dad at that time I thought Butt would 'have him' for that, and I was right. This was an INTENTIONAL, DELIBERATE ACT OF AGRESSION, and should be investigated by the powers that be. Taylors was an accidental, clumsy tackle. Two COMPLETELY separate issues. |

Massive blow. Just look at the difference after half time when we didn't have him. Nicky Butt is, well Nicky Butt. Petulant. He should have been carded last night, the amount of poor tackles he put in was ridiculous. He put in alot of good ones to, but the 1 on Laarson and Muamba in the 2nd half, he missed him, by a whisker, were both bookable offences. Parnaby got booked for missing someone, Butt didn't wand was arguably worse. |

Not only did it affect last night's game it also affected one of their main competitors for survival! Typical Butt! |

Yes quite, and the minority of Arsenal fans will tell you that Taylor went out with the deliberate intention of 'doing' Eduardo. Nicky Butt has played at the top level for well over a decade without deliberately injuring a player, and I have no reason to believe he would start now. It was a poor challenge worthy of a yellow card, but to claim as an undeniable fact that Butt set out to hurt Seb is just pointless, baseless, troublesome and is more suited to Arsenal fans. |

There's no official comment on Larsson's injury as far as I can see on the net. Can anyone confirm anything? |

The Sheff is doing alot of talk in the press lately. I wish he'd just keep his gob shut and focus on the football, he needs to more so than anyone. |

Watched the game and to be honest 25 years ago when it was a mans game the challenge wouldnt have been looked at. People need to stop over reacting, its a mans game and at times you get hurt, intentionally or not. If people want it to become a non-contact sport, then they are going about it the right way, troublesome about the slightest lttle foul. |

There's nothing manly about kicking someone in retaliation. Getting the ball as well as the man is fine, it's a fair challenge. Going out to deliberately kick someone is childish and petty |

Maybe so, but it took one of our best players out, i just wish we could have took Butt out earlier. I repeat its a mans game, its a relegation battle, win or get a point by any means. Alls fair in love or war. Lets just make sure Blues are a bit nastier than their opponents next time. IMO of course |

Getting racked off with the singling out of Sheff, he was good last night and has been the last couple of games he has played in. For me one free kick he put in wasn't perfect but his distribution was overall pretty good. We play very central football which limits his abbility to shine. Cut him some slack. |

I want him to shine as much as anyone, after last season i really thought he'd set the premiership alight but it hasnt happened. I still think he's a good player and should deffinately be kept as backup to kapo. But unless his performaces improve with mon being no exception then thats all he's going to be, back up to kapo. Yes. he worked hard on monday, but he didnt provide us with any attacking threat. Something that was sorely missed in the middle of the park once Larsson went off injured. |

A whole year these might help Posted Image Either that or change the season ticket because you dont have sit in the "restricted view" seats. |
