Genuinley never felt worried yesterday except for set piece situations. Felt we totally controlled the game.
Yer never fully in control if a PiGMOL man is running round, sorry, waddling round, the field armed with whistle and cards. Mason on Sunday demonstrated the usual farce of free kicks evolving from some contact (allowed in the game since the game began) followed by a Villa player who found that he was momentarily overcome by the force of gravity and ended up clutching the ball (handball, by the way!) and chewing a bit of turf! Compare that to the number of times our players attempted to stay on their feet, awarded some dubious notion of advantage, fouled again, remain upright and eventually get a cross or shot off that comes to nothing. One application for one team and quite another for the opposite team. But the biggest indictment is that not one of PiGMOL pillocks would ever tell yer that they would award those 'free kicks' if they happened in the area!
