1. I'm an Arsenal supporter, I hate both sides

but that red card against Lampard was ridiculous...otherwise, the game probably ends 0-0. The way I see it, Man U is a lock for the title anyway.

8. I agree the red card was bullshit...

it sure would have been nice if it'd had ended in a draw, but what can you do? Those calls just happen.

2. I love listening to the BBC

on NPR sunday mornings. They have a short sport segment and its mostly about soccer. I don't know what the hell they are talking about but it sure sounds good. Yesterday they said one team would be without their starting goalie. The announcer said, in that great British Accent, "its been reported he's had a medical at the clinic."

3. I enjoy listening to the matches as well

I love the stadium names such as:

Craven Cottage
Whitehart Lane
The Stadium of Light

4. Rubbish match

Gerrard could have been sent off about three times over, including twice in the first 5 minutes, then the Lampard travesty. If the FA really wants "RESPECT" to work, they're going to have to start demoting officials who don't RESPECT the game--especially that Mr. Burns look-alike Riley.

5. Sod off! You're jealous. Where's RedQueen in this scuffle?

[spoony]

6. I'm jealous I couldn't get away with blasting a downed player in the goolies

with a football five feet from a match official, that's what I'm jealous of! You'd think the gleam of Stevie's baby face would be dimmed in people's eyes a bit by his recent assault arrest, but I guess he's still dreamy to the men in the middle! :D

7. Now THAT's funny!

[redqueen]

9. Hahahahahahaha

:rofl:

I'm all for the refs fairly or unfairly red-carding Gerrard, that'd get him out of a few matches. :D

[redqueen]

10. Well he really could have been given a card for the ball incident,

and then there was a lunging tackle later that could also have got him a card.

He's just lucky I guess...

11. Rafa needed that one.

I was starting to think the Man U fans had a point when they sang "Rafa's cracking up" during their recent match.
