So the 23rd April we are not at the Bridge, yet another weekend off!
Chelsea v Spurs
Arsenal v Man City
would not mind a Chelsea v Arsenal final, but Man City would be good as well.
I think Chelsea are on for a double though.
Another dent to poor old Jose’s ego. Still, he is still no 1 until someone else comes along and wins 4 Premierships for Chelsea, and then he will be a no 2. Perhaps if he had set his team up to play football rather than kick Chelsea off the park, he might have made it to the semis? Just a thought. Looking forward to the Chelsea Spuds game. Lets see if Poch has the bottle to win something.
Watching the game as a neutral (?) it was amazing to see at the end of the game the only other United player besides Herrera to pick up a booking was Ashley Young. Rojo lead a charmed life all evening but at least he’ll get a retrospective 5 match ban from the FA for his stamp on Hazard… https://youtu.be/PzAj3knAo_c
Jones, Darmian, Vanecia should also have been booked for tackles on Hazard.
At least Jose hasn’t lost his sense of humour when saying Pogba was the best player on the field last night.
When Chelsea and Man Utd get looked after by referees all season, something has to give!
Oliver missed aprrox five yellow cards and a possible two reds - Valencia’s airborne two-footed assault and Rojo’s stamp.
Perhaps the same committee who looked at the Mings incident would like to have a look at the above, plus the behaviour of United players during the sending off?
And could it be possible that one day Smalling will defend a corner without two square foot of someone’s shirt material in his hand?
