Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [21st - 26th October 2011]

[Kenai]

7 yellows and 2 reds, that doesn't look too good from a purely statistical viewpoint

 

[Swordfish]

Do the 2 red cards stand for the cup game mid-week ?

 

[Cosimo]

That is the way to play with nine men. Well played Chelsea.

 

[Gackt]

What a load.

 

[Monkeymatt]

A famous victory? A club with rich owners that has spent millions wins at home against a team with 9 men, It's not much of an achievement compared to the results you see every week from other teams.. Like Norwich at Anfield yesterday...

Yes IIRC.

 

[SS-89]

Do the 2 red cards stand for the cup game mid-week ?

Yep. Bosingwa, Ashley Cole and Drogba all suspended (Drogba for 3 games, the other two for one only). Bosingwa and ash will be back for the Arsenal game.

 

[Robbo]

Chelsea the new Stoke?

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Absolutely shocking game for the ref. We played well considering, onwards and upwards.

 

[nicktay2605]

I don't really know what you lot are complaining about. Other than maybe the first red card, I think the ref got most things right. Chelsea were throwing themselves all over the place in the second half looking for a penalty, none of the shouts were even close to an actual pen.

Having said that, Chelsea played very well with nine men and were unlucky not to score, though QPR should have been better imo.

Dont really understand all the love for "brave" chelsea TBH.

First red was debatable. 2nd wasnt.

Its easy to look good when the team you are playing are happy with the current scoreline.

 

[Cosimo]

Chelsea the new Stoke?

The ref was responsible for the goal against us unlike the six you lot let in.

What was it, ah yes, Balotelli 22, Balotelli 60, Aguero 69, Dzeko 90, Silva 90+1, Dzeko 90+3

Gary Neville on luiz I don't know what he is

How was the ref responsible for the goal? Luiz stupidly pushed Helguson in the back, the ref had no choice. Rather than blaming the ref maybe you should blame Luiz. And yes, thanks, we're perfectly aware we got well and truly thumped against City, at least we're not trying to blame the ref

 

[Azza]

Hahaha Drogba what a clown!

Gary Neville on luiz I don't know what he is

Hes not a defender thats for sure. Im no fan of Terry but he must be tearing his hair out watching this guy.

 

[Cosimo]

David Luiz needs to toughen up a bit and he can become Chopper Luiz.

 

[mmj_uk]

Not looking good for QPR, they looked distinctively average and created almost no chances in 50mins against 9 men.

 

[AGD]

Dropped points but chelsea showed a tonne of character and looked the better side even with only 9 men on the pitch.

They did the same at OT.

Thats 6 points dropped when they looked great.
