*Official* English Football Season 2013-14

[NUFAN]

Such an enjoyable game and important win against Southampton, from the team with the best away record in the Premier League.

BTW, why doesn't Fonte get a game for them anymore? The defending was quite poor and they were outpaced by the Spurs attackers so often throughout the match.

 

[Nate]

Coming back from injury iirc.

 

[NUFAN]

Cheers. I noticed he got injured about a month ago, I was wondering if he fell behind a few guys and is fully fit or if he still isn't completely fit.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Nervousness affecting the whole Arse, it seems.

Edginess to everything they're doing just now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This game is crap so far.

 

[Jarquis]

That's a red and then arguably a pen after

 

[GIMH]

That's a red and then arguably a pen after

Not a penalty. No way.

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's a red and then arguably a pen after

Horrible challenge on Mickey, yes.

Not a pen for my quid tho. As Smudge said on the commentary, Feo felt the contact and went down. No prerogative not to, obviously, but I'm happier not to see such given.

 

[Jarquis]

Not a penalty. No way.

I said arguable. Which it was/is.

 

[Uppercut]

I feel like if he'd run to get the ball he'd have drawn a clearer foul, but he just stood there and then fell over anticipating contact. Still, I reckon they can expect to get those a fair bit of the time at home. You'd almost always get a free for it outside the box.

Mikel's tackle a yellow for mine, maybe old-fashioned there.

 

[GIMH]

I said arguable. Which it was/is.

And I'm arguing it wasn't one

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Tackle was a yellow for me, could have been a pen.

 

[GIMH]

I'm with Gary Neville on the Mikel challenge

 

[BoyBrumby]

Mikel's was a red. Can't see otherwise.

 

[Uppercut]

I'm with Gary Neville on the Mikel challenge

What's he saying?

 

[Jarquis]

And I'm arguing it wasn't one

I've not said it was. So it's not much of an argument.

 

[GIMH]

What's he saying?

That it was a yellow, basically

And to elaborate, basically he froze the frame to show them both at the same angle and distance from the ball and pinpoints Arteta getting there first

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Mikel's was a red. Can't see otherwise.

Played that ball and beat Arteta to it, can't see that as a red. As Neville said, both went in with studs at same angle just Mikel got there first.

 

[Jarquis]

Well yeah, that's the point. Mikel was late and thereby dangerous. It's a red.

Wasn't as bad as the Yaya Toure one on Giroud last weekend though

 

[Uppercut]

Chelsea have been the better team here, but you can see what Mourinho means about missing a striker. Torres is filth.
