Ola Toivonen, eat your heart out!

 

That is superb....

 

Didn't Marc Tierney do something similar against Bolton a couple of seasons back?

 

I seem to remember Bradders J 'recoiling' in a similar way from Joey Barton - and then blaming his bad breath?

 

he's fecking twat. Nothing superb or amazing about it

 

Fair enough, and I agree that you don't like to see simulation like that. It couldn't have happened to many more deserving players than Arnautovic though!

 

Crikey, that looked nasty - hope he's ok for Saturday and doesn't need to many stitches

 

Agreed. A bit embarrassing to have a Norwich player behave like this.

 

He's apologised now. The little scamp.

It was a spikey game all through and Arnautovic was one of the chief components. The intent of a head butt is enough for a red card as we saw with the Hull game and Bassong and Nasri last year. Barton and Jophson is probably the clearest comparison to this one.

 

I am thankful to Olsson and Elmander for their part in this game. This was the only result not coming in on my bet and Sweden winning added an extra couple of hundred quid. I should have known I could rely on the NCFC connection!

 

But you should surely donate the win to a charity promoting fair play in football now!
