30th March is a date for the calendars. Could decide who gets that fourth spot.

Villa aren't playing Everton are they?
If you spent less time being cheeky and more time on the prediction league you might've sorted this weeks scores by now

Oh no you don't 
Trying to and doing by accident are 2 different things, however sometimes they have the right result. His foot was thrust towards Boa-Morte's head, accident or on purpose doesn't matter, it happened and he should be sent off for it.
No he doesn't. He thrusts his foot over Boa-Morte's lower back and hits the ground, nowhere near his head.
Watch it.

It'll be repeated in a minute on MotD2. Are we all going to accept and respect the decision of the professionals like good little boys?

That's because it was nowhere near
On that logic a high foot would be a sending off...
Going for a ball and actually kicking out when 2 players are on the floor are 2 different things.
There was definantly a kicking/stamping action by Lampard (not at Boa Morte's head though) and if players are going to be sent off for slaps then he deserved to get sent off for that.
However he was sent of for the push as the lino thought it was a slap, so although he was sent off for something he didn't do, imo he still deserved the red and i'd be suprised if any appeal was successful.

I never said it was at his head (or if I did, I apologise), it was a series of 2 kick outs, the first when he was travelling back, this wasn't at anything in particular (or I hope not) but it was near Boa Morte's head to the point where contact COULD have been made. The second is as BaZ said, and for me, he deserves to be sent off for it.
I don't think it's wise to write off Arsenal so soon, especially with Rosicky and RvP close to fitness, especially Rosicky - he's exactly what Arsenal have been missing and I think as soon as he gets back then things will change.
no one shoud be writing any of the top 3 off, just whereas a few weeks ago the momentum was clearly with Arsenal it's now clearly swung back to United.

Awesome skill.
Nani has looked class the last few weeks, really does look like Ronaldo did a couple of years ago so if he develops in the same way... 
The one benefit Arsenal have is getting an EPL match done this weekend (while Chelsea and Man Utd play in the FA Cup)-away to Wigan - should be a reasonable 3 points , which while only psychological will increase the gap again
Very interesting race for the title and for fourth spot (think Everton could knick it myself athough they need to start scoring more reletive to Liverpool pretty soon)
