They make some valid points though

You should have never left Arsenal mate. Arsenal reject. You had a better chance of winning the Champions League with Arsenal

Time will tell. My point of view will be slightly biased most of the time regarding such things anyway.

/\/\ personally, i hope youre right, but it does seem theyre on the backfoot a little. city have a lot going for them and arsenal are still 'transitioning'.

youre right, every team has a bunch that are just as bad. but theyre the ones in the headlines at the minute.
and they do some crazy stuff sometimes. remember when they threw rocks & excrement at the ambulance that drove rooney away after his injury? cant say any other fans have done that...

Nope, just a sore ankle, poor performance from City this morning. 1-0 early and tbh City didn't look much like scoring..dominated possession but with 11 behind the ball, they couldn't break them down...

Interesting thing for me was a CLEAR CUT two footed tackle from Glen Johnson - no card. Didn't take long to point out the inconsistency...

/\/\ thats the worst bit i think is the inconsistency. personally, i dont think ALL 2 footed tackles should be worth a RC, but if they want to make it that way, all refs have to get behind it.

/\/\ stevie was a bit out of order i think. pretty rude butting into someone elses interview. its not like he wont get his say...and it was a bad tackle.

Man City reject cash offer for Carlos Tevez from AC Milan - ESPN Soccernet

gimme a break. just sell him already...the longer he wastes away, the less other teams will be willing to spend on him.

/\/\ for some reason i like the way he thinks. the only thing ive disagreed with him about was his stance on rooneys part in the kompany RC.

EDIT: looking a bit more into the kompany RC, im finding it harder and harder to justify. i just read the rules, and there is nothing saying that 2 footed tackles are automatic red cards.

"A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play.

A tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play."

so did he use excessive force? i dont think so. he may have endangerd the safety of the player, but you could say that about any tackle...

A NZ soccer ref on twitter told me privatley that red cards are given for.....'For a foul to be a red card, it must use excessive force. Meaning the player has far exceeded the necessary force and is in danger of injuring his opponent.' He wouldn't comment specifically on that decision but that's what he told me. U could argue 2 footed tackles do but I'm done talking about it!
