Nothing at all is made of Essien being a completely dirty cnut - par example; the same day that Rooney was caught saying a naughty word, Essien escaped a card for a two footed dropkick that Bruce Lee would have been proud of. Is anything made of it? No. They gloss over it on MOTD as well. Whereas a few tackles from Vidic (that were in no way as bad) are singled out for 'analysis'.
Last night - early on, Essien takes out Rooney after the ball goes. Nothing happened. If it was Vidic, there'd be a witch-hunt on this website, with a lot of people (like you) proclaiming how we get away with everything, and how Vidic is immune to the law.
I hear you but Rio/Vidic did work on Torres and Drogba (face scrubbed?) too. Anyways bottom line is the Spanish Ref did a 'Webb' job and I suppose he got it right except for the Ramires Penalty and by right Evra should be sendoff. No? Remember this referee was the one that denied a Drogba goal when Buffon scooped his shot behind the goal line. True to form the official, behind the goal, was not called to action. But will we now get another just to watch for penalty infringement?
Agree, Undiano has fucked many Games up.
Fabregas for me. Not that he's a bad player but if you listen to Arsenal fans Maradona in his prime should be shining his shoes, and for some reason Barca are all over him when Xavi/Iniesta are miles and miles ahead of him. He's a very good midfielder but you never see him put the team on his shoulders when he's supposed to be their best player. Never understood what the big deal.

Yes Fabergas is a good player. Has he ever bootstrapped his team to a title?
To place him on the same pedestal as Maradona? Nobody in his right mind will do that. However Gooney worships him tho' but then is Gooney of sound mind?;)
Likewise for rags & the parochial jingoistic media who placed United midfielder Scholes on a god-like genius pedestal. If he is that on par with Zidane how come he has not contributed significantly to the national team?

No, it just shows how very little people watch of us to come to the conclusion Downing is over-rated when he's usually the best player on the pitch week after week.
