*Official* English Football Season 2010-11

They weren't justifying it - both said a red was the correct decision! But for someone to get their first red at thirty - that suggests they aren't that type of player, no?

Well, it's a moot point surely. Whether or not he is that type of player is irrelevant.

 

[Jarquis]

It was Shawcross's first red as well wasn't it? Doesn't mean he's still not an oafish hack, he's just an oafish hack who has managed to keep himself within the lines for the most part.

Anyway, Koscielny's come back out for the 2nd half

 

[GIMH]

It's possible, so why wasn't Gerrard booked?

Ask the ref

Tbf, I don't think Joe Cole is a dirty player. But I don't think that makes any difference whatsoever.

Isn't he a lot younger?

Er, cracking goal

 

[grecian]

Almunia should have had that, shocking positioning.

 

[duffer]

Jesus, some ****ing amateur **** right there. Need to find some nuts and ****ing fast.

 

[sledger]

Great keeping again.

It does if you want to argue about whether he has set out to hurt him

 

[GIMH]

Yep, on second look still a decent finish but Almunia wat

 

[Nate]

As much as I still think Ngog sucks - lol, Nafe fail.

Is a pretty big risk when you jump into a tackle two footed tbf.

Well, I don't know if it does really. But again it's not particularly important, as recklessness substitutes intent in my eyes. So it's one or the other. Besides, if it is that much out of character, it makes you wonder why at any moment in time, it's today he decides to lunge in like this. I'm not really making the claim that he did set out to hurt him. But it's another coincidence...

 

[Jarquis]

Wilshere and Eboue will be the 2 to come off I think.

Arshavin to be one of them surely.

Edit: Guess not, think Wilshere has done well tbh, but probably right to get him off. Looking a bit jaded.

 

[grecian]

On a tangent her, but there was a lot of defence over Webb in the WCfinal about sending off guys, because "it would ruin the game", of course that match turned out to be a cracker because of it

This match has been improved by the sending-off IMHO.

There should be no defence for Webb's WC performance, he completely bottled making any sort of decisions whatsoever. Worst refereeing performance in a major final I can remember.

 

[Jarquis]

Chamakh not doing much
Just got studs from Skrtel though.

Come on, cole was clearly just trying to close them down. It wasn't clever and nobody has said it was, but if you think he has gone out there with instructions to break some legs then you're just wrong

Have to say I find it funny how the people who seem to be moaning the most about it are Dutch tbh.
