so what do you reckon the FA will do this time ? give him another raise ?

he earns 5 million a year and lives in Chelsea plus gets a driver to take him to and from all the league games he watches.. He went to the Arsenal match who started with no English players and Boro had none of good enough quality.. OK Cole came on later but he had no way of knowing that and Erikkson has already shown that no matter how crap you play you will still be in the first team anyway if you are a regular so we already know he is the LB if he is fit so what's the point in watching him.. Also on 5 million a year shouldn't he be made to watch all 90 mins of a match it is his job after all !!!! He only had to get back to Chelsea which isn't far

Not that i'm a Chelsea fan but didn't agree with the Robben sending off.. first tackle was just badly timed and no real intent to foul just poor football.. it was his first foul, if it was that, and so he could have got a talking to then rather than a card.. As for the second card, I agree with the rule in that it is there to stop a crush and stampeed of fans and is for their safety.. however if you look at the footage there weren't many fans there, and none of them or the stewards, were in any danger. As it was going to end up with a sending off the ref could have used his head and then not given him a booking.. from watching the ref i think he was carded because he went over the advertising boards anyway so even without going into the crowd i think he would have been sent off
