Boy I hate that last man/GK red but love that it hurts Chelsea. Down to 10 men and Swansea have a chance to tie with the PK.

I wonder if Costa's rep is starting to hurt him. He isn't getting many calls, even when he's legitimately fouled.
Costa whines about everything and there's rarely actually much contact.
Where is Chelsea without Hazard?

Six, half-dozen.
At least they both play for a thoroughly contemptible club as well.
Players surrounding the red while the stands threaten riot at every non call, when did Stamford Bridge become Anfield?
Anfield--You mean the ground that won the FA Fair Play award for the fans' behavior last season?
To be fair, the fans surrounded the fair play award judges and bullied their way into winnnng.
Why did Swansea buy Eder? He's pretty useless.

Dlew you don't have to try to defend everything Liverpool. Hell, I wish the Etihad were a place where the fans were so on the refs that they were put under pressure to make bad decisions.
I'd go with Blackpool simply because they had no stand running along one side of the ground, they built a temporary stand that year. They're also a much bigger club than Bournemouth: FA Cup champions in 1953, a consistent contender in the 50s, a long spell in the top flight. Bournemouth has only ever spent five years in the second tier, and this is their very first season in their entire history in the top tier. They're like an AA town with a major league club.Luis Taint said:
That is fake or they deleted before the tweet trons could get across the Atlantic. I had them both up at the time of the tragedy.
As a goalkeeper, I'm happy for the professionals that this year's Nike ball behaves as one would expect for a change. It's less prone to insane knuckling and physics-bending insanity that's been the trademark of so many balls of late.
That said, it's fucking hideous and looks terrible in the air.

Pelle scores for The Saints - not a good start for new Toon boss, Steve, isolated ginger tuft of despair, McClaren.
West Ham's away strip's a bit jakey.
Edit: Just looking at Wenger on the bench. Has anyone ever seen his hair move?

Or your could just, you know, try to not be wrong about shit. Like earlier this week when sachmoney was playing the fool when you were right about the Arse.teddykgb said:
Speaking of the Arse, the red on the inside legs of their shorts looks like they've had a collective menses accident.
They weren't playing against clubs that beat their defense like this every week. Their yellows are tactical fouls.Morgan said:
Oxlade-Chamberlain deserves an assist on that goal.
Slaven Bilic has the look of a man who would go to jail if the authorities had a peek at the pornography on his computer.
Neither Monreal or Debuchy is offering very much going forward today, and that's really stripping Arsenal of any width in their attack. The Hammers' diamond 4-4-2 is keeping all of the play in the middle 50% of the pitch and they're doing a good job of preventing the Gunners from creating very much. Of course Coquelin, Ozil and Ramsey have all been less than accurate with their passing, which doesn't help.
The defense was pretty strong until that free kick. Never understood the benefit of keeping a high line like that - it seems to increase the randomness of the resulting play.
