Cris, I didn't go to the game but according to P and G we played really well? ONE other point for whoever did see the game is... Why on P and G did Tony complain about a tackle on Jon Watlers by Ivanovic? Said it was nasty and not even a booking. It's not like I'm upset with the result as the performance as some have said. Was OUR BEST game football wise away from home since promotion. IF that's so we're on the up lads.
Ivanovic's tackle on Walters towards the end of the game earned him a yellow but by all accounts it should have been RED - both Robbie Savage on TV and Mick Mcarthy on the radio suggested so. Will be interesting to see what the FA do, if anything, that is!! Overall a good performance and I am disappointed we got nowt from the game
It was David Luiz who scythed down Walters. Both him and Walters were very lucky. According to the 606 phone in, Ivanovic was involved in an off the ball incident with Kightly. John Motson, who was the BBC commentator, told them there was video footage of Ivanovic striking Kightly with his arm in a similar fashion to Wilkinson on Balotelli. I hope the FA dish out the same punishment.
With how strict the FA are with tackles etc David Luiz should have been sent off!!. If that had been a stoke player he would have definately been sent off!!!.
Ric and the other posters.. That's what TP intimated thought he said Ivanovic not Luiz but hey ho! Let's see MOTD show it and punish the player re: Wilko. 10/1 say's they don't even mention it on MOTD. I'm pleased too guys, expected Zero pts today but we did give them a great game, that for me is great news for the season. And if the stats are correct on BBC Chelsea only had 2% more of the ball.
It was Luiz who did Walters could have broken his leg!!! Ivo the terrible elbowed Kightley off the ball let ushope he gets banned! Have been commenting on Oatcake this eveining under Finchampstead2011 where I live now! See next week for demolition of the Swans
