The truth is the entire trajectory of the match was set in the first five minutes, when they were kicking us all over the park, and we weren't getting a fucking thing from Attwell. The best thing I can say about the red card is that it is worthy of Salah on the cheating scale, and that's saying something. Welbeck should have got a yellow both for impeding the defender — he initiates contact, it couldn't be clearer — and then simulating by diving. I try not to watch these matches with blue specs on, but you'd have to be downright blind not to see the injustices that were perpetrated right through this match.
Here's my problem. It's all very well to say the writing's on the wall for the 29th. That the word's gone out to screw us royally. That we can't risk any kind of situation that leads to a red card or a penalty. That we can be whacked with total impunity — studs up tackles like the one on Gundogan, open season lads, do what you like to them — including in the box. But our defenders have got to be able to do their job, for God's sake! And that is all that Cancelo was doing. There can be no defence without some sort of contact. It's a contact sport.
We might as well just give Chelsea the trophy if that's the case. Don't know if I even want to watch it now.
By the way, never had an opinion about Brighton one way or the other. I was ready to recognise that they've played some pretty good football this season. But their fans are c**ts of the first order. Booing Gundogan after that tackle!! Dipper level. Repulsive.
