    Should that have been a penalty? I'm seeing a lot of people claiming it should have been, but I'm not so sure. Larsson has as much right to go up for that ball as Ramires does, and it's not like you're not allowed to put your body on a guy.

    I thought it was close call either way. I doubt I'd complain much if it had been called for a penalty, since it looked to me like Larsson was playing slightly more like he was in the defensive secondary than on a soccer pitch. But it was close.

    Well, no Jozy in the second half and that's about as much as I can take of this rather awful match. Gone to watch the end of the Levante-Getafe.

    Maybe, just maybe, if he'd been capable of putting the ball in the back of the net a few times during the season he'd still be in that spot.

    I hope he is laughing because it would show a healthy attitude in my opinion. Its not blaming to see the irony of things not going your way.

    If I leave late for work and the the subway is not running and I can't get a cab I just have to shake my head and laugh. I could have left earlier but that ship has sailed so its either laugh or whine at that point. I choose laugh most times.

    Not a good analogy.

    Well, the other game is over. A well-paid footballer riding the bench could well be laughing all the way to the bank. You're getting 50K a week for sitting on the best seats.

    Sunderland plays better when bunkering. It's when they try to attack that they get screwed. So they do better against big teams than against the ones they should, on theory, beat once in a while.

    Aaaand Jozy comes in.

    Wickham is still limping.

    And he's off for our guy.

    Giaccherini on for Larsson. Misheard that.

    Jozy on!

    The first Altidore touch is an own half knockdown right to the feet of Larsson, who for some reason wildly smashes the ball high in the air on a diagonal course to no one.

    Keeper's head snapped into the ground, it looked like to me. That was ugly.

    A replay shows it was actually Brown who nailed Mannone into a death spin. I think he wanted a new red card, but got confused.

    Giacc in for Adam Johnson (who has had a lousy game) also happened, together with the Altidore x Wickham.

    Quite frankly, Sunderland has a lot of dumb players.

    They can't get out of the back playing, they rely on hoofing it. The other game was watching, the visiting team with 10 men, always managed to get off their bunker playing it on the ground. That's how pros do it.

    Borini hates his guts.

    On the plus side, Eto'o is out and now they got Torres.
