The sending off was an unfortunate situation that was going to happen eventually.
Home ballboys constantly delay the passing back of the ball , especially to the losing opposition.
The kid is a spoilt brat and deserves a kicking, but not from a professional footballer. He went over and beyond his acceptable delaying tactics. He got his desire, famous at last.
I don’t think the ref had a choice. I hope this is a warning to ball boys. I’m sure Chelsea regret the incident, and especially Hazard. Move on.

Playing park football back in the younger days gee you didn’t have any ball boys to contend with but worse it was all the oppositions spectators on the sidelines. We used to play a team called Werrington Croatia and they had to be the dirtiest team with the dirtiest spectators, they would all jump in front of you when you where going for the ball to have a throw…

Get of the kids back I have to say we have all done it (if you have ever played the game) its just he happen to pick the wrong Hazard to mess with at the time. and with tv cameras all over the place to make him look worse.

Just my 2cents ;)

Try playing in Glasgow 80’s/90’s.
Been assaulted, bottles thrown, threatened.

Even saw a guy running down the wing full tilt and some wanker pushed a bike out in front of him….

The comments about the silver spoon and spoilt brats is way off the mark.
Most come from fairly average backgrounds, its football, not rugby union.

I’ve tried seeing things from your point of view but I can’t get my head that far up my arse !!

I agree that it is tough in Scotland and mainly between Celtic and Rangers But lets not forget its mainly because of religion . Celtic being catholic and rangers being proddys . in Edinburgh its Hearts and Hibbs same deal but not as bad as the Glasgow teams. It is a different violence all together.

Sounds similar to the whole Serb & Croat teams. Absolute hatred before ball was kicked off. I have a Serb mate who instant hates Croats before even meeting them. He is also second generation aussie/serb but carried his families past with him. Gee where lucky not to have grown up with so much hatred from the past.

Sums it up pretty well -

“The greatest achievement of Arsene Wenger, over the past 10 years, is to have created two teams: the one that now plays for our rivals and the one that is trying to be among the best in the Premier League”

I was on about amateur level ! very violent !
Bus got bricked, bottled, you name it ! this EPL stuff is nothin :D

Ps, rangers v Aberdeen is where the real hatred us after Neil Simpson broke durrants leg in the early 90’s.

There is a pub in Aberdeen (shitehole) that has little tv’s in the urinals so you can piss on rangers videos.

Aberdeen are scum bags, I used to have a Gers season ticket before I came to OZ, also went to sellick home games if Gers were away as my mates dad had a season ticket but was elderly and kept poor health.
Didn’t mind as he had killer seats at the cemetery side, half way line about 5 rows back, awesome seats !

Styles that was a pisser.

Chelsea gawn and the fat Spanish waiter going going …...

Won’t be much more life in this thread. Even manyoo can’t lose it from here.

What the Fuck are you people smoking???

That’s at least two people who have spurs in the top 4 but no arsenal! Spurs. Fml!!!

Just fyi, the spuds have lost their club captain to retirement, lost adebayor because they can’t afford him (like i said all last season), lost their playmaker modric to Madrid (just about done deal) lost their best manager in twenty years due to vanity and signed a new manager who failed with twice the budget at Chelski!

Have a fucking word with yourselves!!!

The biggest lesson I ever learned was, not, whether it works or not, but, if it makes mechanical sense, do it ‘till it does work.

The day of smoke and mirrors is gone. Gimmicks are gone. Fundamentals have nothing to do with trial and error

The Dart

Must be smoking something that you aren’t Styles.

As predicted Arsenal are destined for midfield rubbish unless they can do something in the transfer market and the recruits meld into the team with immediate effect.

The top 4 at the moment are what I predicted -

Man Utd and City, Chelsea and Tottenham

Long way to go but not feeling real hopeful.

Time for Manager to go, he needed to spend and did not.

Play it as it lies, get on with it, its not life or death, its just a game!

Styles – some time later and the positions on ladder have not changed, Wegner has recruited who and Arsenal are heading for no silverware and mid table rubbish.

Care to comment?

I’m sure we will try, at times.
City fucked up big time last night.
The top spot seems assured to go to Old Trafford. Shouldn’t say that I am tempting fate.
The second spot is still open to Chelsea and Spurs, the way City are falling apart.
Arsenal need to rely on Spurs doing a similar disintegration.
Everton at OT tonight. Something I just read. David Moyes has not won at a top four team in 10 years. He came close last year at OT and cost us the title. He is now rumoured to be in the frame at Chelsea and City. Newspapers need to be sold.
Don’t prove Styles correct keep posting.

Win tonight and Sir Alex can start planning for Europe by resting guys in the league games. Best chance for the BIG double since the treble. Reckon he may throw the FA cup to get the big one

You must be looking at a different table from me, 5th is now considered mid table? Still a lot of games to go, arsenal still in two cups and the way city are playing, second might be up for grabs.

QPR to make a late charge and avoid relegation…..

Please let this fantasy come true Fingers crossed

The way West Ham played against Villa Spartan you might get our spot. Woeful.

Cheer up guys, could be much worse. My team Wolves are heading rapidly to League One.

Quite weekend for the EPL.
FA cup for the ones that got through, sorry Liverpool.
The top teams all have lower opponents, not that that matters in the FA cup.
United Vs Reading is the only fixture with both teams in the EPL.
City could have a tasty game against Leeds.
Everton at Oldham, again a tasty one. Oldham knocked Liverpool out.
Chelsea playing catch up against Brentford, before the Middlesborough tie, if they get through.

Arsenal lose again, one more chance for a trophy, Manager has to go.

I never mentioned Arsenal, because i thought they couldn’t lose.
Shows what i know.

Lose 3/1 to Bayern with these stats

A – 54% possession vs B- 46%
11 shots on goal vs 16
8 on target vs 8

Clearly demonstrates Arsenal’s problems all year. Can hold possession and play good football but lack the finishing power and rutheless qualities required to be a top club.

Can’t argue with that. Bayern are ridiculously good though
