Re: Pablo Zabaleta Appreciation Thread
Pablo has rightly become one of our heroes because he plays for the shirt and has more than most adapted to the English life style. Fair play to him.
Now what pisses me off is when in a game he makes a nothing tackle and is given a word from the ref ( its only Zab ) next time he gets booked, happens most games, we've all seen it. But tonight there should have been two reds for fouls on Pablo. Those of us who like a bit of rugby league know that was a six gamer for the elbow.
Guess I'm getting at the reffs who find it easy to ping him for minor fouls, but when it comes to assault in the other direction do f**k all to protect him.
