I'd like to see Clattenburgs reaction once again when he blew for their penalty. I'm sure he made a real oscar winning attempt at showboating his pointing to the spot, knowing the cameras were all on him as if to say 'there you go I'm handing it to you on a plate to beat these arrogant billionaire upstarts who dared to have an unbeaten record in December'.
Can handle getting beat, fuck knows we've had years of getting used to it, but having watched the Tottenham v Stoke game and ours last night there has definetly been some strange decisions going against the two teams daring to challenge the established elite.
It's also not just a case of the big decisions going against us but its the continuous small ones that break up our style of play. Ive lost count of the amount of times Balotelli is penalised against for absolutely nothing but rarely gets decisions going his way and for the record I seriously do think refs look at Balotelli and think 'oh well its that knobhead therefore....' The tackles from Miereles last night certainly helped stem our flow of football. Would like to see some our players being a little more vocal towards some of these decisions (did anyone really appeal the penalty) and show some more physicality in approaching and standing up to players like Miereles instead of walking away so that the next time his studs go into one of our players knee or rakes his shin the referee is well aware of his intentions.
No arguement with Clichy's sending off and the penalty for them can always go either way. Would like to see us as a team a bit more vocal and physically assert our togertherness on opposing teams a little more and I mean in defending or asking for contenstious decisions.
