A bit previous, but its the only way to beat cson
Chelsea have got a looming keeper crisis with Cech laid low during the Blackburn game, Cudicini is still out. If Arsenal are as slack as against Spurs I can see a minor upset. As for Hammers/Royals - a team that hardly wins at home meets a team that can't win away - should be quiet then.
Derby will be up for it, Rafa will tinker and I'll be praying.

More referees are stamping down on them (pun well and truly intended), so they are being highlighted more.2 footed tackles are happening all the time now
more so than ever or is it just me
Are you saying that there are more two footed tackles and lunges happening in today's game, than back when that team of Murderers played for Leeds? Serious?Call_me_al wrote: »is it not in the rules that if both your feet leave the ground in a tackle it is a sending off offence?
Football has no rules.
It has Laws, and the referee is the judge and jury as to what way to interpret the laws.
Law 12
XII Fouls and Misconduct
Fouls and misconduct are penalised as follows:
Direct Free Kick
A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following six offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:
...
jumps at an opponent
...
Disciplinary Sanctions
Only a player or substitute or substituted player may be shown the red or yellow card.
Sending-Off Offences
A player is sent off and shown the red card if he commits any of the following seven offences:
# is guilty of serious foul play
# is guilty of violent conduct
# spits at an opponent or any other person
# denies an opponent a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within his own penalty area)
# denies an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player's goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick
# uses offensive, insulting or abusive language
# receives a second caution in the same match
So, the ref may have interpreted the two footed lunge as jumping at an opponent, and being serious foul play and violent conduct.0 -

Thats the thing, people forget when they say Reina/Cech are the best keepers in the world that they normally play with a solid back 4 in front of them. It's why Casillas is such an utterly amazing keeper, never makes a mistake, and is behind a defence that constantly does

Every keeper makes mistakes, it's just some are not punished by goals so not looked at that much afterwards.
I remember thinking Casillas was a very lucky keeper a few years ago as any mistake he did, was never punished by a goal0 -
