Would be quite happy with that tbh. Would be an improvement on what's at Arsene's disposal at the moment anyway. Would probably demand less in wages than ****ing Squillaci too.

No Kagawa either.

Not sure about that United midfield at all.

Cautiously optimisitc that the lesser evil win win tonight.

That's an utterly ludicrous decision.

Could decide the game.

I'm intrigued as to why it was an outrageously wrong decision not to send off de Jong in the WC final for karate kicking someone, but it's now an outrageously wrong decision to send off Nani for karate kicking someone.

Riding our luck since the ludicrous red.

Rooney time IMO.

Can't really remember the WC final one, but Nani was all eyes on ball. Ball was nigh on his toes and was trying to bring it down when Arbeloa came in. No malice in it

It was a good strike, but the extra man has made all the difference in terms of how much space he had. The ref was pleased to see it go in, you'd think.

I was never convinced de Jong was a definite red. It's whether you think there's intent or not, which is hard to be reasonably confident. He didn't have a big kick, he just braced his leg with studs up against an opponent running onto him.

Nani just lifted his leg up, the sort of thing that happens regularly, even in other countries with a high leg phobia. No intent and no violent action.

Jeez, I left at 1-0 to see the toss in the cricket match, and come back to 1-2.
