    The early kick-off between Norwich and Chelsea on Saturday was a unique Premier League game, after the entire first half passed without a single foul.

    According to the Metro free paper.

    Yep...seems to be true...

    I even watched the game and never noticed...

    Mind within a minute of the 2nd half starting, there was the first foul..

    Plus Chelsea were utter ****e...

    Looked like neither side were interested at all. Very poor game.

    Crowd was very flat as well and a huge disappointment in numbers. 12,000 off capacity.

    That's poor.

    Agree there Cest' crowd were very flat and only 37,000 I was wxpecting it to be rocking. Even the SW corner were quiet. Swansea fans were excellent it has to be said. Would have thought our attendances should be going over 40,000 by now!

    I will be surprised if the crowd for the Boro match tops 30,000...

    Yeah must admit ive been disgusted with referees this year and i was impressed yesterday.
    Only mistake seemed to be injured Swans players not having to leave the pitch but compared to normal referee service almost perfect lol

    I heard that Fernando Torres fouled himself whilst trying to score, does that count?

    Think he was correct in that one to mate....something about two injured players not having to leave the pitch...

    Sounds crazy, but thats what they said on tv...

    I don't know myself, so stand to be corrected.

    Well thats me shot down in flames regarding that rule then.
    A was like a wailing banshee screaming at Foy saying things along the lines of "your not very good", etc.

    Apologies to the people in the North stand who had to endure my 5 minute tirade.
