1-0 Pompey (nugent)
Yes, Eduardo .. sometimes you just have to be a bit more defensive ... to take evasive action, or at least be a a bit more cognizant of idiots on the field. You can't be footloose and fancy free if you really want to have a decent prolonged career in football.I agree but inn this case it was an encounter that Pavyluchenko should have anticipated as being near 50-50 yet he decided to put his body in the way to protect the ball. He was right in thinking he could get to it first but naive to think he might not get hurt. Done it myself a few times and I usually regret it.
Its kinda like what happened to Eduardo. I'll finish later.
That doesn't legislate it being only a yellow or an utterly spastic challenge.Yes, Eduardo .. sometimes you just have to be a bit more defensive ... to take evasive action, or at least be a a bit more cognizant of idiots on the field.

Ronaldo is a prime example ... he's accused of diving all the time but he appreciates that its a game of survival. Messi is another example, but because of his style is even more at risk. I really will be surprised if he lasts more than 5 seasons without getting his foot and/or ankle busted.
Gareth Bale off for David Bentley. The game may change now.

Did you not think it was pretty much a mis-timed fifty-fifty challenge ? Was it over the top (of the ball) ? The boy got beat to the ball ... happens all the time but in this case he used his body that's unprotected and paid for it.That doesn't legislate it being only a yellow or an utterly spastic challenge.
Jermaine Defoe; an absolute wee cnut of a man.
No shame at all in celebrating that goal like it was a WC final.
You really think Modric has done well in the PL so far?Gutted we didnt attempt to go for Modric.
I thought it was clear that Pavlyuchenko was shielding the ball and was clattered after the fact anyway. In other words; a completely reckless challenge, that left yer man having to be carried off on a stretcher with a possible break or ligament damage.Did you not think it was pretty much a mis-timed fifty-fifty challenge ?

Yellow.
Started pretty quietly but in the last 5 or 6 games, hes been good. Exactly like Scholes, but with more speed. He will never get the praise he deserves.You really think Modric has done well in the PL so far?
For the same reason Kaka will join City....Why would Palacios join the shower of shite that is Spurs?
Anyway, nae bother ... we see it slightly differently.I thought it was clear that Pavlyuchenko was shielding the ball and was clattered after the fact anyway.

He's a disloyal little shitbag who thinks only of himself.Defoe is a good player.
Under rated.
