The difference was the vidic's was a little flick out, not a punch, not even a slap.
Adebayors was a lip biting stamp on someones head, which if it was 2 inches closer could have been really bad.

If either happened to you on a sunday morning which would be worse, you'd have forgotten about the handbags one before you got to the bar, the other challenge you'd remember for a very long time

 

[mancboy123]

what an absolutely ridiculous argument, so basically you are saying as long as the challenge isnt to bad then its ok, you say two inches one way it could have been very bad, two inches the other way he misses he completely,

Two inches one way vidic takes rodelegas eye, adebayor doesnt jump RVP breaks his leg, if we are basing it on what could have happened Vidics is jsut as bad.

A lot of people here seem to think that Fletcher is toss. Considering he is one of the best in the league on current form then it shows how blinkered some people are.

None of you have been watching Fletcher the last year or so then.

I thought he was a shocking player a couple of seasons back, he was put out on the right and lacked any drive, pace and aggression.
Since he has been moved into the middle he has improved dramatically, he stops the other teams playing, makes the simple pass, makes driving runs and scores the odd goal.
To say he is shit is just showing a lack of football knowledge, hes a very good player who is ideal for a derby or big game, look at his performances in the chelsea, arsenal and big european nights.

I think he might score on sunday ;)

'stops other teams playing' translates to 'He a fucking henchman who can't play football, so we'll just get him to kick fuck out of the other teams best player' The man is shite and I wouldnt swap him for Barry or any other of our mid-fielders in a million years

Yes but they have brains, unlike Fletcher and Scholes.

You dont buy into it because your never on the end of it. What is so different from what ade did to vidic did to rodelega or what ronaldo did to the stoke player last year?

Fletcher is afforded protection purely based on the fact that any other ground in the premiership the challenge that he makes against arsenal is a penalty

At full speed it looked a great tackle, the slow mo replay cleared showed a penalty.
Same with the Adebayor incident, full speed it looks like nothing, the slow mo replay shows a clear foul

No it didnt, it looked wild and rash(like every other tackle he makes)
Question: if Toure tackles 'one of yours; like that on Sunday what do you think the decision will be?

Fletcher is a very good player, Barry is an excellent player.
That is all that needs to be said.
