He was absolutely terrible for the first 20 mins or so and then he kinda, woke up or ate his spinach, or something. Then he was immense

Well, Rafa only has himself to blame. Consistently, bringing him back from injury too soon, when it was obvious each time he wasnt fit.

I never thought id say this, but I can honestly see Steven Gerrard leaving liverpool in the summer. He is a fantastic player and would be a star wherever he went and it would be criminal for a player of his calibre to never win a league title, regardless of what country.

Yeah he and Higuan really drove Madrid on in that game. Ronaldo is hungry for a title even if the rest of the team aren't.

Disapointed in Arteta for stooping to that level, initially it looked like he was going to just point at his nose, but then something clicked in his head and he decided "nono. the eye is a better option".

if ref seen it no doubt it would have been a redcard.

The goals from Blackburn were pretty immense though...

with our FA dealing with it? Who knows. He might well get away scott free, they don't exactly have a record of disciplinary excellence and consistency this season.

Ref booked him didn't he?

That means the FA won't take further action.

Unless the ref includes in his report that he would have made a different decision had he seen the eye poke. He did book both of them, so I don't think he saw what the cameras did.

1025 BST: Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has held a secret meeting with Barcelona president Joan Laporta in Morocco where he is on holiday recovering from a leg fracture. The Spanish champions have denied that they have an informal agreement with Arsenal not attempt to attempt to buy the 22-year-old this summer.

Marc your levels of bias are incredible!

He poked him 3 times, not satisfied till he got his eye.

I watched the game and he saw it, the ref was right there and booked them both after careful consideration.

Its a bit silly though isnt, the level that football is stooping to. You cant even touch a player in the heat of the moment, without people calling for you to be burned at the stake. Its a physical game, tensions boil over. I think common sense needs to come into play, but the FA wouldnt go for it.

Poking the face is a yellow or just a warning, but poking for the eye is a red imo.. Everyone pokes or pushes every once in a while, but going for the eye is just too low

Also: LoL France! Underage prostitutes and cheating your way into the WC

Yes it is low and he should have been sent off, but the way people are reacting and saying he deserves a long ban is way off the mark. You get players making potentially leg break tackles who get a red card and thats it.

I wouldn't have cared about pushing or shoving, but poking someone in the eye is fucking low. It should be a ban for violent conduct, so 2 or 3 games.

I agree with Marc. A red card would have been sufficient. Leg breakers are career enders. It doesn't look like he was trying to poke his eye out or anything

The current holders of the champions league and this years champions league favourites have to travel 50 hours by road to get to milan :(

What are they doing, walking? Its only 600 miles door to door. I know there will be more traffic because there are no planes, but I'm pretty sure they can average better than 12 miles an hour.
