English Premier League 2012/2013

Both Liverpool and Chelsea were robbed. Although I liked the way Everton played and Suarez should have been off.

Why should Suarez have been sent off?

How were Liverpool robbed? They got the main calls and Coates fouled the defender for the disallowed goal. Suarez should have been sent off but Chelsea were not robbed just unlucky. Both Torres and Ivanovic deserved their red cards (Torres for his high kick not the clear foul by Evans) and Hernandez was offside.

Rooney derserved red card too

Benitez: "You can't have an impartial Football Association when members of that board are also executives at Man Utd."

That's ridiculous btw.

Bernstein is chairman, life long City fan.
David Dein has been a member for ages, was also on the Arsenal board.
Phil Gartside is Bolton chairman.

David Gill is the PL representative, and the clubs are obviously happy with him because they keep electing him.

Spouting Benitez quotes doesn't really help you, that man was as crazy as they come.

We're going off on a tangent here. The point is he made every effort to make the test after he initially missed it and was not allowed to. He then got a ban exceeding most of the bans dished for failing a test. Basically the FA made an example of him. If they were bent they would not have done so.

All these morons going on about corrupt FA and officials are more annoying than the piss-poor refereeing. Any time anything remotely contraversial goes our way we never hear the end of it. When stuff happens against us or goes for other teams in other matches nothing is made of it.

At the risk of stoking the fires again, as harsh as Torres' second yellow was, could anyone have had any complaints with a straight red for that?

No, no one likes Man Utd

Chelsea have confirmed they have lodged a complaint to the Premier League match delegate with regards to 'inappropriate language' used by referee Mark Clattenburg towards two of their players in today's game with Manchester United.

Chelsea have also launched an investigation into reports that a steward was injured by objects that were thrown on to the pitch following United's winning goal at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea fans in the Matthew Harding stand hurled abuse and appeared to throw objects at the United players as they celebrated Javier Hernandez's winner in the 3-2 success at Stamford Bridge.

The steward, who was later taken to hospital, fell to the floor at the same time that the fans responded to the celebrations and needed approximately 10 minutes' treatment by paramedics at the side of the pitch.
'We are looking at reports of objects that may have been thrown or incidents around the steward taking a fall,' a Chelsea spokesman said after the match.
'We are investigating all the incidents around that time.
'My information so far is that he slipped and fell, may have hurt his knee, and was being treated by the side of the pitch. He's been taken to hospital.'
Hernandez gestured towards the pocket of home supporters after scoring the winner for United 15 minutes from time.
His captain Patrice Evra then tried to calm him down knowing the Mexican's celebration was likely to anger the Chelsea fans.
More stewards were seen coming to the aid of their injured colleague, who was clearly in pain, before a team of paramedics ran around the edge of the pitch to help him.
After the game Chelsea cordoned off the section of the stand where the fans vented their anger at the United players.

Match officials body PGMO "is aware of the allegations and they are being treated with the utmost seriousness. Mark will cooperate fully & welcomes the opportunity for the facts to be established. No further comment will be made until matter has been properly investigated."

@MarioBaloltelli: That half time blowjob Fergie gave Mark Clattenburg at half time has definitely paid off

Torres' sending off was laughable, clear contact and goes down accordingly.

I don't expect you to agree, but the 'clear contact' was slight and he went down about 2 steps after it happened.

Torres goes down on his own volition, he's felt a touch and thrown himself to the ground trying to get and opposition player booked or sent off.

For my money, and you can say what you want about Evans' tackle and the like, Torres has clearly dived.

It was a foul, but Torres tried to highlight by diving and got his comeuppance.
