Willian should score there. Pedro having a great debut so far.

 

[Cosimo]

Oh Willian how did you fluff that one...

 

[Fulax]

Willian...poor effort. Pedro did brilliantly to make the chance.

EDIT: Azpiliwhatever shows him how to do it

 

[Cosimo]

Azpilicueta 1-3!

 

[Azza]

Going to bother defending WBA?

 

[NexusK]

Lol Costa goes for the dive while the defender shows him how to score

3 match bans are only for violent conduct or serious foul play (2 footed challenges etc). Denying a goalscoring opportunity or 2 yellows is only a 1 match ban.

But he should have been given an extra game ban for a frivolous appeal

But he should have been given an extra game ban for a frivolous appeal

That's subjective. I was hugely unlikely to be overturned but it wasn't like that time when Utd appealed Ferdinand's ban for violent conduct even when they accepted he was guilty.

 

[McBain]

Pedro looking a bit juicy.

 

[Rikk82]

Pedro looking a bit juicy.

Bet Man United are kicking themselves.

 

[doodah]

Bet Man United are kicking themselves.

No of course not, we "changed" our minds

 

[Stewy]

red card? with the ref 2 yards away? /discuss

 

[The_One]

haha terry!

 

[Pighardia]

Not sure terry did much wrong there?... If he did though, a red card is right imo.

 

[woppy101]

Correct call by the ref

 

[NexusK]

When the camera cut to Mourinho i thought he would have looked furious but he just had a smirk on his face

 

[The_One]

phantom of the operas coming on!

 

[Pighardia]

Willian off, Cahill on.... Probably won't notice the numerical difference tbh!

 

[MissChief]

Don't think there was much in it but as soon as the referee thought it was a foul it had to be a red. Mourinho likely sharpening the knives for Clattenburg already.

 

[drunkenmaster]

One replay it looked mostly like he just slowed then leaned across him and dived, can't really tell if Terry pulled him. If that is what happened then yellow for Ronnie and nothing for Terry.
