Vinnie though; he could well be looking at a further game ban if he did indeed gesture at the fourth official. Surprised and disappointed in him if that turns out to be the case. Whatever grievance he may have justifiably felt about the red card, you just can't go making gestures at the match officials. We slag off Rooney for effing and blinding at refs during games, so we can't really be hypocritical when our captain acts inappropriately.JoeMercer'sWay said:we do seem to have an inability to keep our cool though, that's potentially (if the FA decide to punish us) 3 equivalents to a red card in 4 days.
I think the London and Scouse media will push for those 2 to get 3 or 4 game bans to derail us to ensure their favourites get the title.
We can't give them these opportunities, we have to grow up and behave and rise above it. We have to be flawless on and off the pitch at all times, because the status quo want to derail us at every possible turn, and we make it easy for them sometimes.
No Hart or Vinnie for Arsenal and Rags would be a hammer blow.

Thank goodness he took Ya Ya off because he was a passenger. What is it about him? He can be so good and then so poor!!
But what a game, they were magnificent, the team spirit was brilliant. Demichelis more than made up for his errors over the last weeks and he and Garcia justified their selection today.
Don't think Vinnie should have been sent off, it happened right in front of where I was sitting and it was all wrong!! As for that Hull player spitting or attempting to spit at Joe that should be sorted by the FA.
David Silva and Zaba Men of the Match. Lescott played well when he came on as well.

Boyd has been reported to the FA for spitting at Joe, which should take some of the heat of him.
Big Vin will be ok, he is held in good regard by those at high level, he will get a one gamer. They will view the initial (missed) foul on him as contributory. I hope....
Looked like he worked hard considering he was up front on his own. Probably can't see that on the telly though.GaudinoMotors said:Edin must have got out of breath shaking hands.
Delighted with his goal though.

paulchapo said:So we have Chelsea going down to nine men,one of the tackles absolutely horrendous and with one aim only,to injure the opposition player.Their players and manager losing the plot,the manager sent off,then slagging the referee,losing a game they should be winning......yet it is US who make the bad headlines????
Headlines for fuck all,Kompany dealt with by being sent off and Hart booked for going head to head,again dealt with with a yellow card.No agenda by the biased media C****????
