So paying Walcott £100,000 a week (lucky son of a...) managed to reduce the deficit against Chelski by one goal in the end.

Oh bugger off.

Gervinho got a goal against us at the Emirates and he doesn't even get paid that much. Then again, Wenger's "let's pay everyone a good amount so no one feels aggrieved in terms of wages" theory is idiotic.

So, Bradford overcomes Villa 4-2 on aggregate to advance to the League Cup Final. Congratulations, Bradford City!

Swansea vs Bradford final!?!!??

 

[FrostyMouse]

It will be Swansea vs Bradford City in the League Cup Final. Hazard was involved in an odd affair with an out of line Swansea ballboy who refused to return the ball to the field of play in an attempt to timewaste. Hazard attempted to get the ball back from the kid several times, but the kid refused to give the ball back and then dropped to the ground to prevent Hazard from getting it. Hazard eventually kicked the ball away from him, but the official saw fit to send Hazard off. Hazard deserves a 2-3 match ban for idiocy, but the ball boy needs to be permanently banned and Swansea fined for employing such a kid.

It looked like he kicked the kid, not the ball...

 

[FrostyMouse]

Here's the thing to look at.

Hazard deserved to be sent off for attacking the ball boy, but realistically, there should never have been a ball boy like that. Hazard deserves a short ban for losing his head instead of going to the ref.

 

[xi0]

Correct, but who's the adult in this situation? The kid is a shit, no denying that.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Both sides have apologized, but there's some violence against a child thing to consider. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21174252

Did he kick the ball or did he kick the boy?

 

[xi0]

Oh, there was definitely some acting by that twerp. The difference between myself and Hazard, is that that boy would be thrown off the ball. But at least he wouldn't be punched or kicked.

To me, it looked as if Hazard solely got the ball.

I would never have kicked the kid, I would've gone to the ref, had the kid thrown out, and demanded that Swansea be fined.

The kid acted like a complete shit who clearly had it out for Chelsea and Hazard. If you haven't seen, before the match, the kid (Charlie Morgan) posted on twitter beforehand that he was going to do some time wasting during the match.

 

[Imperium]

Pfft, I would have kicked him in the face and then stepped on balls on my way to pick up the ball. The kid is a cunt. Personally I dont even think Hazard should be fined but being aggressive like that cant really be condoned.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Imp, that's what I've been trying to tell the people I normally debate football/soccer with. They seem to be missing that.

They keep talking about "violence against a child" and everything.

 

[Imperium]

The fucker is 17 and in college. He's no child. That will soon go away I think.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Welll, both sides apologized in the lock room afterward and no charges were filed, so the issue is over, apart from whatever ban the FA gives Hazard.

I loled when I saw Hazard do that

Well at least it wasn't Suarez.... otherwise this would be made out to be much bigger.

Someone I know made a joke saying, "If Fergie saw that, he would've said, 'He could've been killed!' "

OMG! I would've loved to see that! But yeah the kid was a jerk. He shouldn't of done that in the first place and Hazard trying to wrestle the ball out of his arms isn't worthy of a severe punishment. I guess the kick (no matter how weak/fragile or strong it was) would always be deemed unacceptable. Funny ish however you look at it. xP

15million for Zaha.....really!?


We need at least one fricking solid defensive midfielder!

 

[FrostyMouse]

Iker Casillas has a broken arm and is out indefinitely. I guess Adan will be starting then.
