Should've been 4 if Howard Webb had let play run on instead of calling it back for a free kick. Shambolic refereeing.

Jesus great fist of the bar there

HoPpiE

Good save by Assou-Ekotto.

Chelsea robbed of an even more stonewall penalty. Ah well, swings and roundabouts and all that.

Andy Gray: "Chelsea and Manchester United playing today... the best two teams in the Premier League over the last 10 years or so playing opposition who believe they could challenge for top 4 this year. They've got a bit of work to do"

FFS. City have only lost one this season just like United. Ridiculous.

Looked a dive from behind, can't blame the ref. It was a peno though.

Would people cut the god damn whining? This is a thread about the match, not your stupid arguments.

Now let me get back to seeing Spurs get trashed....god damn it :mad:

kenon

Bassong looks out for the count.

Kirby

he is moving his limbs about. Its just precautionary.

kenon

He tried to lift his head and he just dropped.

Harpy

What happened? I've no stream here.

Kirby

He went for a shot....and damaged his leg when he struck the ball. Fairly innocuous.

He kicked the ball, that's what happened!
I don't know how he managed to hurt himself...I think he just wants the attention that Bassong was getting. No one at all near him!

He shanked a shot and done his calf I think.

He couldnt walk off the pitch and was then stretchered off.

Kalou came on for him.

Kirby

that Bornino kid looks absolutely terrified. Deer in headlights.

And now Mikel is injured too! :eek:

kenon

8mins of injury time...

That_Guy

Mikel down injured now.

No wait never mind. He's back on his feet. 8 minutes of injury time.

beertons

The donkey. There goes my captain!

Because there was a 6 minute injury . No imaginery injury time like at Old Trafford.

sigh Kalou.Didnt even notice the new young lad on

That_Guy

Crouch has looked good since he's come on. He should start games more often I think.

CHD

Top of the league!

kenon

3-0 chelsea FT. Sums up a catastrophic FF week for me.

I really had this down as a much tighter game. Given Spurs form at the start of this season I thought they'd put up more of a fight against this type of opposition.

Thats because your listening to the media hype. Spurs aint anything special and look ordinary without Modric.

Short memory much? If the ref does his bloody job, its 1-1 with 30 minutes to go.

Did the ref disallow a perfectly good goal or something?

Kirby

Yes. Stonewall penalty was denied.

Thats a peno not a goal

Well from the CL semi-final we all know penalty claims = denial of victory, so Spurs were robbed. I wonder if Howard Webb will get the same treatment as Tom Henning Ovrebo..:)

No he wont. An excuse can be made for Webb because he has put himself in a bad position for viewing the foul.

No excuse could be made for Ovrebo..... he was terrible. He should have given atleast 2 penalties out of the 4 claims in that game. He bottled it.

I don't need the media to have my own opinions. I've seen Spurs two or three times so far this season and with their fantastic start with beating Liverpool on the first day I thought that maybe this could be a good year for Spurs.
They've a quality squad at their disposal and Harry Redknapp is one of their best managers for a very long time IMO.
They start games very well but their defence is very dodgy.
Need to work on their defence.

Goals change games and Spurs were robbed a good goal scoring chance in that penalty so if they had gotten an equaliser Spurs would've had a totally different mindset in the game.

They are a very good squad this year and they should do very well. Maybe not top 4 yet but I feel they should come close.
I reckon Spurs and City will be the new Everton and Villa in that they'll be battling for 5th place.

What, that handball by Assou-Ekotto?
:rolleyes:

Nope. The Carvalho tackle from behind on Keane.

The_Hustler

He's saying chelsea had a stonewall penalty denied also.
