As somebody who couldnt care less about either side, I have to say Reina is a far better keeper than VDS

Philip Deegan is out for 6 weeksâŚHas played a game yet since he signed last summerâŚ
No. May have played a Carling Cup game but that was it.
Thought as much, the way SSN are going on you would swear it is Gerrard or Torres that was injured
Got injured playing in that Carling Cup game
Lampard won his appeal, although the FA have elected not to retrospectively punish that snidey cunt Alonso
Snidey???
What did Alonso do? Lampard should have gone in 2005 when he broke Alonsoâs ankle so the universe evens itself out.
Shocking not retrospectively punishing Bosingwa.
Alonso left his studs in on Lampardâs leg.

Quit living in the past farmer
You have to just laugh at the whole Bosingwa thing, Chelsea are probably hindered by the decision not give him a ban
No he didnât. He kicked at the ball which had been nudged away by Lampard. Ended up catching him as a result.
He should have left his studs in!! But as farmer pointed out this was not the case, both players were commited to the tackle and i dont think there was any intention involved.
I listened to the majority of the game on newstalk with alan green and Lawrenson on commentary, and they were saying how Lampard tried apologise for breaking Xabiâs leg but he wasnt having any of it, and Lampard said to expect to see something happen between them in games they are up against each other. its been overturned now anyway, but the fact they felt Bosingwas challenge didnt merit anything further is a bit odd. How the linesman didnt do anything about it when it happened was a joke.
Was watching that again on SSN this morning and the linesman didnât appear to see it!
He was looking down completely focusing on the ball and sideline and missed Bosingwa shoving his studs into Benayounâs back.
The referee surely must have seen it though but given Lampardâs sending off didnât want to infuriate JT further.

heaven forbid. just like the refs are careful not to annoy Rooney now too.
The ball didnât change direction farmer, so itâs factually incorrect to say Alonso âkickedâ the ball. He might have shaved the ball but the main contact he made certainly wasnât with the ball, and was clearly with Lampardâs leg. I am not saying there was malice or intent there, I am just stating what the cameras show.

If he was just looking down youâd think he wouldâve taken a glance around to see where the fook Boswingaâs other foot was, out of curiorisity more than anything else.
That is a load of me bollox farmer - the perceived sway/leniency Terry has with refs is non-existent, at least since the red he picked up against Spurs and probably since before that.
The overturning of Lampardâs red card means that Terryâs yellow for dissent (which now sees him suspended for Watforfd away) is now farcical. The yellow Terry picked up in the aftermath of Lampardâs read would not have been given to Rooney or Gerrard. That said, the decision to send Lampard off in the first place wouldnât have been made had the supposed culprit been Rooney or Gerrard, both of whom get away with far, far more than any Chelsea or Arsenal players do.
The amount of abuse Terry gets away with dishing out is ridiculous. I accept Rooney gets away with a shocking amount aswell but with him it generally only occurs after incidents he himself was involved in whereas Terry has to jump in and have his say on every challenge during a game. Utter utter horrible cunt.
That Bosingwa tackle was fucking priceless, lets be honest, who hasnât wanted to see someone do that to a lad hiding in the ball in the corner. Shocking that he got away with it though!
