Dream start, solid half. Can't get complacent though, Bradford won't ever quit. Have to up the intensity even more...

[blueroyals]

They're playing the siren again, why?! please stop....

Second half underway

[blueroyals]

Seen red cards for that, dirty northerners

Down to 10

I repeat, dirty northern bastards.

Disgusting tackle but nothing more than I'd expect from a League One club.

Prophetic stuff

Changed his mind from a yellow. Nothing challenge. More than a little harsh. Ref is enjoying his last big game I reckon. Definitely game killed but been a bit too easy anyway and hardly exciting. Need one more though to totally relax.

[Royal Lady]

We're normally rubbish against 10 men

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Joey Barton thinks that was a harsh red

You must be drinking the same as Dellor, that was a definite red. He looked at Chaolobah and planted his studs half way up his side.

thE KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[blueroyals]

Sign him up, great finish

Mack the knife

[Camel Royal]

That's more like it. Quality. Chalobah looks quality. Bossing it. Calm. Swagger.

Except today!!!

[Bantam Northy]

Congratulations! You deserve it. Out played and out classed tonight. Oh! And that was a red card but get it right, "dirty Portugese bastard".
