Thought it was a very good analysis on the second penalty. Also agreed Vlaar should have gone.
The rules haven't changed. Gabby was taken out before the ball was even touched, even then you have to at least take the ball away from the run of the player for it to be a proper tackle before you hack the player down. Definite penalty and very good refereeing.
Thought they were pretty good to us tonight. What bliss not having to hear the inane whitterings of that pair of twats Lawro and Hanso.
Thought Shearer and Murphy did alright, especially compared with Crooks & Keown on Final score, 2 of the worse pundits ever.

The presenter tried to turn it to the Villa perspective and it fairness Crook was quite complimentary about us, but Keown just kept on about Arsenal. Such clear bias to the point of not being able to do your job properly should result in the sack.
