I think both Koscielny and Kompany deserved to be sent off. You lunge in like Kompany did, you run the risk of getting sent off. I doubt it will be rescinded.
Other weekend games
- Thread starter Beef
- Start date
If they stand by that, there will be a shed load of reds coming up. This weekend alone there was half a dozen worse tackles with nothing given. I thought VK looked in total control, what would you have him do, step out the way?
I doubt it will be rescinded, they tend to back the ref unless there's absolutely no option. For me it wasn't even a foul though. Wilshere thought the red card was for him at first, tells you all you need to know I think!
Exactly if that tackle is a red card then football is becoming non contact.
Best case for us could be if his appeal somehow overran Saturday, meaning he'd be able to play, but then they did not rescind it and his three match ban would then take him over their visit to SMS. I doubt even with their general incompetence that they will take that long, but hey, we can hope!
I think there's still enough time for things to change around a bit. Usually one team that appears safe gets complacent and drops into the mire. Maybe it'll be West Ham?
I still think QPR are too far off the pace and Reading don't quite have the quality, despite good results for them today. Villa need to pick up some points soon or they'll be competing for bottom spot with those two.
QPR will be fine with Redknapp in charge and won't go down. Newcastle should be fine once Ben Arfa and co come back. So for me, it is 3 out of Reading, Villa, Southampton and Wigan.
QPR are still miles behind.
Newcastle have the worst form in the league over the last ten games, pretty much. i don't think they'll improve in the near future and by the time they do, it will be too late.
