It's not just challenges and stuff like that, there's a bit of squaring up going on between the players as well that the referee has (rightly) taken a bit of a dim view of.Sounds like it. I'm listening to it on FiveLive... and re: Hull having a bad time, not as bad as one as Spurs.
If Chelsea win, hopefully in the 93rd minute with a penalty
Drogba should have been let go at the beginning of the season, Anelka and Ballack are getting on a bit. Well-played Man Utd and thoroughly deserved by the end of it, by the sound of things. I'm a proper Welshman and prefer the noble egg-chasing game of rugby, although I do follow the footie - particularly Arsenal - on Match of the Day.
Hopefully you'll feel like giving Match of the Day a miss next weekend it's going to be an interesting game, though.
Watching the game on the telly, one thing that stuck out was the fact that some of the Chelsea players looked almost disinterested, and Drogba was the main villain in this regard. Whether it's down to unprofessional attitudes among some of the playing staff, poor man management on the part of Scolari or some combination thereof remains to be seen, but it's something that needs to be addressed sharpish.

Well, I hope you have a great weekend and being on the receiving end of another mauling doesn't spoil things too much for you.I'm afraid in the end I couldn't make it up to Hull - due to it being my 18th birthday weekend and me being busy in the pub and stuff
I mean interesting more from the point of view of seeing how the two teams respond to their recent form, and how the two managers approach it. I'm not expecting a classic by any means.
......My concern is that, with Zayatte suspended and Gardner liable to still be injured, we're a bit low on options at centre back. That might mean McShane filling in there, which raises the nightmare possibility of Mendy at right back. If this happens, Arsene would be well advised to concentrate his team's play down their left flank.

So...Man Cty are trying to lure Kaka to Manchester and Spurs are trying to get Adriano on loan.....transfer windows just get crazier and crazier as the years pass
For some years now the R&A have allowed free entry into The Open for kids (up to age 16) accompanied by an adult, or kids on their own if they write in advance. As a regular attender, there are always plenty of kids about and I think it really helps the grass roots of the sport. If St Mirren v Hamilton are playing to 3/4 empty stadiums then what have they got to loose? Might get themselves a few future season ticket holders or at least encourage them to kick the ball about a park.
Hello, just a wee update from the provinces...
Nothing much going on up here, a very quiet transfer window. Boyd still hasn't gone to Birmingham and the two big teams haven't got any money to spend.
One interesting note is that MSPs want SPL teams to let kids in to see matches for free. Now it's time to come clean and admit that football isn't my primary sport, it's golf.
Altogether now... when I was a lad... jumpers for goalposts
