transported back in time to 2006, maybe to Bolton, or to Stoke. A 'plucky underdog' determined to 'get in their faces' and a referee too cowed by the crowd to uphold the laws of the game.
Exactly the sort of game which destroyed the careers of Diaby and Eduardo and didn't do much for Ramsey. I seriuously feared for Martinelli last night as they took turns at battering him.
How can this still be allowed to go on?
The knee in the back on Martinelli was nasty, it was late and he knew exactly what he was doing.Quote:

Ben White looked rusty. Despite the brilliant cross for the second goal he gave the ball away too often and he was giving his many far too much room on occasion, particularly for the third Luton goal.
Havertz had his best game so far. He is starting to look decisive in his movements and finally starting to look as though he gets his role.
An inborn, instinctive appreciation of this crucial and historic injunction is the reason no English side, even the mighty Huddersfield Town, has EVER won more than three top flight titles in a row. Unlike those frauds in Serie A, La Liga and die Bundesliga.
Foreigners, see. No idea about fairplay.

However if Aaron, or any other British keeper worthy of the name, for the matter of that, had behaved that way, you'd have a case for marching him out of the club immediately. But not a Spanish international.

If he is fit, he'll be buggering off to the Asia Cup :-\Quote:
