Foy was generally awful today. I don't know how much you've seen on the cameras but in general play his positional sense was awful. He was constantly running in the wrong places getting in the way of passes, blocking players runs and even at one point intercepted a pass. Rather than a diagonal run, he was more horizontal across the pitch.
I'd forgotten that last March against Villa at Stamford Bridge Foy sent of both Willian and Ramires, and sent Mourinho to the stands. I wonder if he thought he owed them one?
The picture on the link ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...e-not-sending-Gary-Cahill-Swan-Lake-dive.html show it was a red card for Cahill all day long
He ruined the game in the first few minutes when he couldn't wait to book Huddlestone. It was the first challenge of the match, and the card was out whilst the Chelsea player was still rolling around the floor. I've never seen two players booked for diving before playing for the same team and I've been watching football a long time. Chelsea were disgraceful, they have every advantage anyhow and some very talented players but if a team like that win the title then it is a travesty. They have had more players sent off against them then any other team in the Prem, meaning this season they have played a third of their games against teams with ten men. They have been awarded more penalties and had the most players booked for diving. And it was £47 to sit in a sterile silent stadium surrounded by police and stewards. Two pints, a coke and a small glass of red was over £18 in a pub near the ground, is this really the way forward for football?
The atmosphere has been **** at all the £50 games, you get a completely different following, in the upper tier the entire crowd sat down apart from a handful on the back row.
We're you in the upper tier OLM? I was on row 7 (the one in front of the walkway) and had to sit because of those behind me wanting to sit. Incidently did you see the argument between two blokes when one of them took a Chelsea scarf off somebody sat in our section with it and the other guy tried giving it back. The first guy kept taking it and shouting burn it, throwing it forward. There were four Chelsea fans on the row in front of me actually.
I was in the upper, row 16, but I missed the argument. I was too busy having my own with some ginger gobshite in the Chelsea seats to the left of me. Ugly little gobshite, he looked a bit like that kid from Corrie who was doing the bird in the wheelchair.
McIlroy by a mile. Hard to overestimate what a special year he had. Hard for a boxer to win it when so few people get to watch them live on TV these days.
Nobody seems to be making the point about the so called special one. He goes to teams where money seems to be little or no object and can buy whoever he likes by offering the world and a bit. They play quite naturally - you can't coach the talent that some of those players have. However it seems he encourages them to cheat when there is absolutely no need. Players like Chelsea have will win the majority of matches they play for one simple reason - hey are better than the vast majority of the players they come up against. Mourinho is a talentless egotist and the Premier League was and will be far better without him. We need to get to a situation where we concentrate on the players not the managers.
To a great extent it comes down to the sport. Number of golfers to win SPOTY: 2 Number of F1 drivers to win SPOTY: 7 Interesting to see Ronaldo win overseas. Recent years has seen Federer x2, Nadal, Djokovic (Tennis) and Usain Bolt x3 (Athletics). In light of Hamilton, I'm surprised Marquez didn't win it.
