That\s two game changing calls that have been overlooked. A seeming penalty shout for VP and a near certain red on Balotelli. Guys keep attacking strong though. Good to see they're not getting frustrated by it.
Game is getting more physical. Direct correlation to the ref not taking care of the calls he needed to. Players adapting their game to the more 'liberal' tone the ref has set so far. Ooof... Balotelli... nice defending.
Let's ********ing bury these over-paid assholes. Get one and the rest will roll in. I may not be able to see the game, but the comments I'm reading here and on BBC are making me livid.
Same. Nobody compensates for their mistakes the same way Rosicky does. Any lost ball and he goes full on recover mode. It's inspiring.
Ref needs to give someone a yellow for dissent in this game. Balotelli is going to break someone's leg in this game as it is, too.
For the record, these announcers are some of the very best there are: Jon Champion & Stewart Robson. And Robson knows our team, it's strengths & weaknesses about as well as any commentator. To those of you who think otherwise I just don't know what more to tell you.
It's truly amazing that he's only had a single Yellow card. Let's just hope he sticks around long enough to doom himself... again.
Walcott has contributed nothing and broken our attack up repeatedly. Wonder whats up with him today? Not up for one of the bigger games for us this year.
