[Sharpys top lip]

IT WAS Fukn mad , yes . But as with the , U.S., double jeopardy law ; YOU CANNOT BE DONE FOR THE SAME OFFENCE TWICE . He was booked . It's laffin' .

Still mad , like , but , ...

L.C.A.B. - Out .

Perhaps Arteta saw a bogey hanging from his nose and wanted to save him the embarrassment of others laughing at it. While removing said bogey his finger accidentally slipped into the eye socket.

That would be my defence your honour.

It's just the creative side of his genius coming out ,an ordinary mortal would simply have given him a dig,not the more difficult to pull off eye poke.See the Zidane, I nut you in the chest, for another example of this creative streak.

Its about time we got some luck in this type of thing. Usually goes against us.

Still a MAD thing to do. But knowing the FA they will change the laws just to punish us

Loving Timmy at the moment. Just watched his interview on football first and i quote,

"Its football, not netball so they should just get on with it"

 

[Neiler]

I thought the ref had a good game yesterday he looked at it as a full blooded affair and i think he managed it accordingly, Blackburn kicked us and he didnt take any harsh action when we kicked them back likewise, good to see.

Yet poor old Sam had the gaul to actually blame the referee - in a week were the players bottle was in question, yesterday was a blood and guts affair.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Should've been a red card, but as lukecrossland said: "Its about time we got some luck in this type of thing. Usually goes against us."

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Totally out of character for Mikel, just a moment of madness, glad the ref dealt with it on the spot

 

[Blue 1]

Made me laugh once he'd only been shown a yellow. Was like something straight out of WWE.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

As Timmy said, its a mans game. Good grief. You can't go sending people off for this. Leg breakers sure but not this.

If he's have seen it properly , Caped Crusader , he'd've gone .

L.C.A.B. Out .

LCAB translation (provided by Google Translation Toolbar): They can't take retrospective action as he was booked


To be fair to Arteta, they were following through after he'd played the ball and he'd been kicked maybe 3 or 4 times before that.

Fat Sam targeted Arteta in the game, same for Pienaar.

The level of protection was quite frankly pathetic from Mariner.

I reckon Pederson said he wanted to spaff in Mikels birds eye.

So Mikel decided to poke him in his eye.
