There are arguments both ways as to whether Bellerin was fouled, however one thing is

clear, anyone that says something like 'he needed to be stronger there' is an utter c*nt of the highest order who clearly needs a new hobby.

Hector did nothing wrong. Credit to Chelsea for the movement off the ball that created the situation where Bellerin had to mark Costa and Theo needs a slap for not bothering to track Alonso, but Hector did all that he could.

Not sure who the muppet on Radio 5 was that said that, Danny Mill maybe. Scum that he is.

Well, you say that there are arguments both ways, but to be honest I'd be interested in reading the argument that a forearm smash is a legal manouevre on a football pitch at any time. WWE, maybe. Football, not so much.

It would have been better if he did hit him WWE style.

Totally, Llorente got booked for less against City.

Also, how the hell did Mata not get a red for his shocking tackle? Xhaka would have been deported if he'd done it. That's 3x stick on red cards they've got away with this season

I'm not so sure - Alonso looked only at the ball and his arms weren't in an unusual position for someone that was jumping for the ball.

If we had a goal disallowed for that I'd be pretty irritated.

:nod: Mourinho's endless moaning is beginning to take effect, just as it did with Ferguson.

If you hit the other player with your arm/elbow before you hit the ball with your head it's a foul....

I would suggest that if you knock someone unconcious, by default that's dangerous play and therefore a foul and a card

Alonso could have been looking at your mum's balls for all the difference it makes. He knocked an opposing player unconscious with his forearm. If that isn't a definition of dangerous play, I'm not sure what it.
