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?
