"Predictions for Chelsea/Arsenal?"

Right, I'm going with 3-2 to Arsenal, simply because huge questions are being made of our defence and it isn't going to help being up against Hasselbaink and Zola...but it's looking like Henry, Wiltord and co can pretty much score at will.

yes i've read it all going to appeal, gronkjaer himself thought Vieria was hard done by etc. However Vieria still hit him *minimal* or not and it was late to me it's a foul and deserves a booking. However if D'Urso was any good that would have been his first booking and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

look at the rest.

*he goes to shoot the ball but shoots at my feet*


well from the pictures i saw he kicked the ball first and then Vieria hit his foot causing him to hit the deck. Exaggerated or not still a late challenge

i agree on the Zola thing he never touched him but i'm not agreed on the 2nd. Vieria should just have been booked once today

the 2nd yellow eidur kicked Pat's foot.... he didnt touch zola.

Vieria went in with a high foot and caught gronkjaer's trailing boot. foul in my book.

no i meant i thought it could have got a straight red. I knew it was a second yellow.

re-training? i think the only training they've had is how to scribble names in a book and how to stick a flag up in the air

It wasn't a foul, any more than Cisse's was on Cole in the Arsenal v Birmingham game.

Nope, second yellow.

Agreed. He and one of the linesmen both need re-training.

Andy D'Urso is the biggest plonker to walk god's green earth. I wish when he was surronded by Man United fans a few seasons ago they would have finished him off so he wouldn't have ruined what was going to be a pretty darn good match for us neutrals.
He gives yellow cards to players for a simple thing such as obstruction but when Campbell smacked Zola and De Lucas in the mouth and Keown raised his hand to Hasselbainks neck nothing is done. What on earth is up with that? Vieria didn't touch Zola for the first yellow card but he deserved the yellow for the second foul on Gronkjaer i think it was maybe even a straight red. Hopefully the FA will watch the tape and send D'Urso back to reffing schoolboy games cause that's his good for.

The ref looked too scared to pull out any cards after the sending off.

And what was all that about coins and bottles on the pitch after Veiria got sent off? I was coming home from work and only heard that bit on the radio.
