I want to know who Yaya Toure was paying to not get sent off last night.
Clattenburg was staring straight at him when he slapped Mata, and when he raked Ramires.

Not that I don't think any Chelsea player deserves pretty much everything they get, of course.

Maybe the Ronaldo Ruling that I proposed a few years back is finally coming into effect
The gist being that the ref can deem any sufficiently cunty player to have dived when he goes down. Even if it was Zidane who "tackled" him.

yeah .. but Mata seems OK
he didn't throw the toys when Toure kicked him on the floor and he didn't even react when Toure slapped him, which is probably the only reason Clattenburg didn't do anything. Which is a shame as yet again football is actively punishing those that actually grow a fucking pair.
