You were all talking about the Kompany tackle, so I didn't feel the need to add it to my point.

I do aswell. Both feet were off the ground and his studs were showing, therefore he should be dismissed.

It's a red card and I can't see how anyone can say otherwise.

Because some of us champion the way the match was played back in the olden days. I don't think it should be 'anything goes' but you can't base red cards what if's. It spoils the integrity of a game completely. I have to agree with most of the MOTD pundits on this and say I don't like red cards being handed out for things like that because if you are looking to play the ball and you are in control of the tackle, then it isn't always going to be reckless.

At the end of the day though, the most important thing is consistency so that the players know what to do. Very few people (not fans, pundits and the like) seem to think it was a red card for Kompany, so if people involved with the sport don't think it is, I think it's hard for fans to disagree. But the referee clearly thought otherwise so we need to hear an official sanction of what is a red card and what isn't.

For example, Nigel De Jong kicking (Iniesta was it?) in the chest was a red card all day for me, but Webb only gave a yellow. You could argue World Cup final all day, but does the importance of the match change the letter of the law?

Okay, it's a red card in today's day and age.

Now he gets a nose bleed when he enters the final third.

It's a red card and I can't see how anyone can say otherwise.

Yeah I thought I hadn't seen him play in a while. What's wrong with him? Close to a return?

Is Thudd still out for Spurs?

Could be far worse I suppose, but after this setback, 2012 looks almost impossible for him to return racing in Formula One.

Oh for God's sake Kubica

Hope this isn't true because I was really looking forward to seeing Vettel, Webber, Hamilton, Button, Alonso, Massa, Schumacher, Rosberg, Raikkonen and Kubica as the top ten later in the season. Oh and they may aswell get rid of Bahrain, never really been a great track and it would open up some new locations including Russia, Mexico and South Africa.

I watched the game tonight and it was dreadful, but I knew that if I turned it over, it would've finished 4-3

Neither team could put more than three passes together along the deck before lumping it long, awful stuff to watch. City and 'Pool can't do any worse than this tomorrow, especially as I probably won't be able to watch it.

Raw Spoiler

Shame you didn't look at the title of this thread where it clearly states.

***PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS***

I only managed to see a really crappy video of YouTube as most others have been removed but he looked slightly offside?

I don't really care if he was offside or not, but still.

Rare feel good moment in football. Even some Spurs and Leeds fans should've smiled at that.

Smart move by Alguersuari I reckon, yeah he could get more race experience but I think being involved with a team such as McLaren would be a better move for his career.

United get City away and then 'Pool away?

Bollocks.

Hope Valencia gets the shove. Never had a decent race there, and I'm sure there are better venues to hold a F1 race.

So was his accent.

Could it be because he's in negotiations with Williams or HRT? I can't think of another reason why they'd chose Buemi, apart from maybe that Buemi's qualifying performances were marginally better than Alguersuari's last season.

Would you need to sell anyone under 35 before your eligible to complete the challenge?

I'd say you'd be allowed to keep hold of them, but not play them, otherwise, well it wouldn't be a team of over 35's.

But that wouldn't make much sense so you may aswell try and sell them. What sort of team could you assemble? Other than Friedel and Giggs, I wouldn't know where to start.

I noticed that their shirt sponsor was different but didn't want to say anything in case it'd been the case for a while.

How many times are they going to show Phillipe Albert?

Triple bollocks.

That's why as a defender you are always taught not to let the ball bounce

YouTube already? Or by other means?
