Torres got what he deserved. This is how divers should be treated.

And Chelasea in their despair pulled the racism card against ref Clattenburg. Although I do not like racism, me thinks this whole racism thingie is getting ridicilous now. But if it did happened as Chelsea players have pointed out, then bye-bye to the ref. But these things are very hard to prove, only word against word.

What a bunch of primadonnas. Now they are making a big deal because Mata too was, allegedly, called a spanish t**t. I like the way this stories developes. I read Mikel said to his team mates, after the game, he thought he heard something, like he wasn't sure he heard it right, a few days later half the team heard it beyond any doubt ... let them a few more days and some of these geniuses will recall seeing Clattenburg making a nazi sign with his tongue in his cheek.

I've just read about the league cup match between Reading and Arsenal. Wow! 4-0 for Reading, Arsenal gets the 4-4 in injury time and wins 5-7 in AET. That's one for the books...

It's one for the bookmakers

Walcott's 96th minute goal happened in 4 minutes of added time. The only reason that Arsenal were allowed to win this fix-up of a match is because The FA can sell more tickets in the next round of the Cup and because companies like William Hilll, Betfair, Bet 365 and the rest of the grifters who get their cut from football would have all collectively lost more money.

7-5 is a farce.

Whatever floats your boat

Whatever floats your boat

The same way as it can't happen with MP's expenses, or in the culture, practices and ethics of the British press, or financial people playing with credit markets and insurance, or the fact that 9 of 20 clubs in the Premier League are sponsored by either finance or gambling companies.

Forgive me. Corruption can't happen in English sport can it? The idea is simply preposterous.

Ooh look. Chelsea got handed a 94th minute penalty, when only three minutes were going to be added. 3-3.

Perhaps the script wasn't being followed
