    Yes have to be confident about next week. OK we will miss Adam but they have real problems. Can't wait to see Bramble try and contain Rickie!

    Means a great deal in South America, so it's said. Had the misfortune to stumble across it earlier. Watched it for a few minutes. Chelsea are dire and Corinthians look like they'll be worthy winners at the moment. 0-1.

    Anyway, what do I care..? I don't see a Saints team on the pitch.

    I've been an admirer, but I have also thought he had this streak of behaviour hidden away. He isn't cautious about openly cheating and trying to get a way with it.

    BTW, Chelsea lost, and deservedly so. Corinthians were very good. 1-0

    He used to get booked a lot more though. Perhaps he's cleverer at disguising it!

    Weird I know they have injuries but must be some youngsters available?

    Hard to see much difference between what he did and what Barton did, except it was a bit more subtle. Fellaini committed arguably three red card offences in the match so he should be looking at a very lengthy ban. I think Everton's laudable approach (light years away from their friends over the river) to owning up and apologising immediately after the match might get him some leniency though.

    Have to give credit to Moyes for saying he had seen it and any punishment would be deserved, even though inwardly he must have been absolutely livid.

    Watching West Ham play football is like watching a man trying to cut a tree down with a sledgehammer. He'll get results eventually but it's not pretty.

    Fellaini will get a big fine, no doubt about it.

    David Moyes is very honest, isn't he. Would like to see that situation with Wenger involved, that would be TV gold!
    'I didn't see it, I didn't have a clear view, I was icthing my knee had a fly near my eye. However, Sharcross should have seen RED for holding my player back.' (in dodgy french voice) <laugh>

    I do applaud Moyes for being so honest, but it should really be the norm rather than exception. Moyes was only doing what every other manager should do.

    What impressed me was not Moyes' reaction, but Shawcross'. Having been twice head-butted, once elbowed and once punched, you could have easily forgiven him if he'd have reacted.

    Not at all surprised it's Fellani involved though. I've long thought he's a bit of a nasty player - gets away with a lot of elbowing.

    He does seem to have about 16 elbows doesn't he.

    It makes me laugh how hard Shawcross was, imagine if Suarez kept getting elbowed/headbutted by Fellani!

    Well done guys, Shawcross did deserve a mention for how he conducted himself in that game. Good lad.

    Yeah he kept his cool well, but what did he do to outrage Fellaini so much? As hot-headed as he obviously is, it's odd to lose control like that for no reason.
