Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2 - 3rd February 2013]

But by diving he would be technically cheating. I do agree that refs need to do to a lot better at giving fouls when a player stays on his feet though. A striker having his shirt torn off his back from a corner should be giving a penalty for example.

I'm not bothered about technicalities. If you're being fouled and the only way for that foul to be given is to go down then go ahead. By not 'cheating' you're disadvantaging yourself.
 
Phewwww glad we bagged 3 pts off Stoke today.

Didnt see the game but how did our new LB Monreal play??, did he have a good solid game??

Very solid game from Monreal, he didn't have much defending to do but he coped well with stokes physicality and was good going forward. Pretty skilful and it looks like he has a very good cross on him too which is a much needed bonus for us.
 
SISSOKO!!!!!!!!

What a result, what a game! I genuinely thought we were dead and buried ad 1-2. Thought Pardew had went negative and too deep in the second half like Tuesday night.

But nope!! These 2 new signings look amazing.

Benitez seems to think he should have had a pen for the nose breaker on Ba, and that changed the game, should have been a red card etc. No doubt Chelsea fans will be going mental over twitter about it. But I'm sure none of them will mention the two footed challenge by Ramires which deserved a red card...

Overall we played better than Chelsea and deserved the win. Sissoko is bargain at less than £2m. 6 and a half year contract looking good now ;)

Good good, hopefully once he gets some more games under him he will start to excel. Could do with a decent LB when Gibbs goes off injured:p...hopefully Wenger will use his brain and start to use Monreal as our first choice LB more and more.

Glad he coped with dirty Stoke and their penchant for getting rough.
