[Lineker]

Lee Cattermole booked in well under a minute and will now miss the next two games!

[MDK]

Cattermole

[Gazz]

Dirty Cattermole.

[Lineker]

Dreadful tackle. So he now misses the league game vs. Liverpool and the cup tie with Everton.

[MDK]

Haha, this guy is a class act.

[Gazz]

That is a penalty, but only now we've started penalising shirt pulls from set pieces?

15 penalties a game then from now on...

[Summers]

Are you kidding me? Penalty for that. Okay, yes. Pulling shirts in the box is a foul, but I bet we see that exact same thing happen a dozen times this match.

Will they be penalties? No, they wont.

[Lineker]

Bah, I missed Bendtner's pen. Bloody work.

[Gazz]

It was completely unnecessary too, they were nowhere near the ball and it went out for a goalkick with no one within 10 yards of the ball.

Stupid Williamson.

[Summers]

It was completely unnecessary too, they were nowhere near the ball and it went out for a goalkick with no one within 10 yards of the ball.

Stupid Williamson.

I don't even blame him.

EVERY defender does it in every game. You can't randomly decide that it's a penalty once out of 30 occasions.

[Lineker]

GREAT save by Krul there.

[Lineker]

Taylor hits the crossbar!!

[Lineker]

And there's the first red. Sessegnon on Tiote.

[Marcos]

AVB seems to have been sacked by Chelsea !

[Summers]

AVB has been sacked.

[Cheeky Hughes]

I was hoping he'd last until the City game. Darn it. >_<

[Fry_4000]

not too supprising after yesterdays result

[Starvinho]

DiMatteo in charge until the end of the season apparently, then they'll get Benitez

[Twist]

Roberto DiMatteo has been annoyed as interim manager until the end of the season.
