No Justice on Yellow Cards for Glen Johnson

I think it is ridiculous the fact that after Glen Johnson's two yellow cards against Hull last weekend, we cannot appeal against him being banned for the home game against West Brom at the weekend!

Johnson didn't deserve one, let alone two yellow cards last weekend. The second yellow, Johno tried to pull out and had no intent to hurt the player at all!

A FIFA representative has even come out this week saying that it is a stupid rule and needs to be looked at.

Missing Glen against West Brom could be crucial to the result, although I'm guessing we're all thinking we should be able to bury the Baggies easy enough when we're at home!

Sean Davis is also missing the game due to his injury, but we're hoping he'll be back by next week's game against Bolton, seeing the return of the almighty Matt Taylor.

Peter Crouch has also dropped out of the top 5 Premier League goalscorers this week, so hopefully a couple from the big man will see him get back up there where he belongs, above Defoe!

We played well against West Brom when we played them away, but we'd just returned from Wolfsburg.

The atmosphere was poor from both sides, and the side were obviously gutted about the events of what happened in Germany, so putting that aside lets give West Brom a hammering when they visit Fortress Fratton on Saturday.

In terms of the following fixtures, we have a good run-in, and should be looking good for staying up. Providing we beat West Brom today, they're done and dusted.

Middlesborough are going to really struggle to get back out of the relegation zone, and then I reckon it will be a massive toss up between Sunderland, Hull, Newcastle, Blackburn and maybe us.
