Flamini RB. Tommy a risk at CB but its one of those that you could get away with. Szczesny still throws in spanners and thats a worry, he then stutters and it goes down hill. Hopefully hes learning, becoming stronger and all.

1st Man City

I think city need to be aggressive, and get Demichelis off

I had to check (as not seen him play ,much), but it says
Jovetic: His primary position is a second striker, although he can also operate as an attacking midfielder or a winger

Some pundit said he was amazing in the old Gerrard role but then it could've been the same Guy that said demichelis was better in midfield!

That would have been red in most cases. It was a clear, simple, red card. He was the last man, Chelsea were about to break, he pulled him down using his shirt.

Last man is irrelevant, clear goal scoring opportunity regardless of men is relevant.

Arsenal’s brand new kit sponsors will reportedly help the club fund a big money deal to sign Mario Balotelli at the end of the season.

i find the above hard to believe on soo many levels.

There is no chance of Arsenal signing a guilded missile like Balotelli as he is not Wenger's type of player and he would upset the applecart and team spirit too much..

l absolutely agree with you but sadly the authorities seem to have blinkers on most of the time whilst cheating in the game just continues unabated with the authorities seemingly turning a blind eye to it most of the time.

I meant the point about "if it was an arsenal player, then it would have been a red" (not exact quote, but too tired to look for exact words). That presumes the ref would book if an arsenal player, and ignore a player of any other team. Hence me saying, "arsenal bias"

Seems fair to me.
