Doesnt matter even if he was going for the ball. If he went in that late and hard on someones leg it would have been a red card, so why is it not if you go in on someones head like that? I know whats worse and which could potentially cause more damage.

It's only a matter of time before a goalkeeper gets a very serious injury from shit like that going on at corners.

Normally when a player is sent off for a late challenge it is because they've went with their studs, or lunged, or went in with two feet.

Carroll went with his face, which suggests he probably went for the ball and couldn't stop. Going for headers and the high ball is almost always dangerous, and there is always the potential for a clash of heads.

Would you have sent Vidic off for going in late and seriously endangering De Gea?

Could have killed the lad.

Of course, they were the same sort of challenge. You've stumped me.

If you don't think Carroll's challenge was dangerous you're a fucking idiot.

Of course it's dangerous. Every time two payers challenge for the ball in the air it's dangerous. A definitive yellow and maybe a red.

Carroll is not International quality but he was worth MOTM yesterday imo. I also have no idea what to make of the 'challenge' on De Gea but currently I think it was nothing more than a mistimed aerial challenge.

Welbeck deserves to be the list as well as his game (barring his shite finishing) is superb.

Rafael and Nastasic should have been nominated for Young Player of the Year, and I'd probably have Fellaini or Baines ahead of Hazard in the main list.

Carroll.

They are. It's just that all your other goalscorers are shit and English.

Sidwell sent off for Fulham. Planted his boot right above Arteta's ankle. Deserved red.

Sidwell off, stud-up challenge on Arteta.

Unfortunate for Fulham, having a man down for the majority of the match.

We look terrifying poor when Fulham counter. Berbatov had a great chance a few minutes ago.

Hopefully we can play more conservatively now.

Why do we push so many players forward so it's three-on-three when they break?

Giroud off, another studs-up challenge.

The way he's played today there's not much difference anyway, tbh.

FT, 3 points and a chance for actual firepower up top against the scum next week.

This was one of our worst performances of the season but somehow we've come out with a win. Huge, huge win.

That was a weird game - at the start of kick-off I'd have taken a point. At half-time I felt we should have been 4-0 up, but then after 80-85 it looked like defeat was inevitable.

In the end a point was probably fair enough. The table is also a strange beast as by and large the results didn't go our way, hence 16th place, but the key result we needed to go our way at Upton Park did.
