Stoppage Time

This may seem petty, but if we're going to be given a hard time about it when we (fairly) get a high amount, I'm going to bring it up when it goes against us.

I was surprised by the 5 minutes (expected at least 6), so decided to look through the BBC minute-by-minute updates (I know this won't be entirely accurate but it's likely to give a decent representation). According to the timings there should've been more than 5 minutes just from the Drogba injury/fit, the goal, and Carvalho's cheating. That's not even taking into account general stoppages and of course substitutions.

Then he added 5 seconds for the Anelka substitution (onto what turned out to be the bare minimum of 5 minutes). He's a quick guy, but I doubt got off the pitch that fast.

I'm not saying this massively affected anything, but remembering how many late goals we've scored, every little helps.

Spot on. Should have been added more, much more. But we will no see much higher figures in football stoppage time that often - especially not in our favour after the recent hoo-ha.

You are right on this one. I did expect another minute added on for the substitution but the ref just ended the game swiftly.

Every little does help.

No time was added for Alex coming on for Anelka, which took close to a minute.
