Well well well, Mike Dean certainly did have it in for us tonight didn't he, he was like a dog on heat just waiting to shag a City stars leg or three with his cards out ready. He was more pumped up for this game than the entire two squads put together, it was like Mike Dean starring Mike Dean, Directed by Mike Dean.
Prior to the Chelsea game Diego Costa went on record stating that opponents have been targeting him and giving him a rough time, welcome to the English game you muppet. So Mr Costa do you think they should give you an easy ride and let you score goals for free?
It's clear from the first whistle that Diego Costa had full intention of getting City players booked, as did a few other Chelsea players I could mention. Didn't help that Mike Dean was blatantly in Mouronho's and Chelsea's back pocket, we showed tonight that we are true CHAMPIONS. We played against 12 men and kept them at bay until the 12th man aka Mike Dean sent off Zabman for nothing but the theatrics of Diego Costa, video reruns clearly show Zabaleta went for the ball and little contact was made with no malice. If anything Diego Costa knew Zabaleta was on a yellow card already and should have been sent off for violent conduct after his over reaction at a fair and innocent tackle.
Mouronho was centre stage in his technical area looking smug, oh wait a minute it's a master class coming up. The Engineer is sending on Frank fuming Lampard, oh dear what can the matter be, you're going to get stung by this bloody angry bee.
Step up Frank Lampard, man of the match for sticking two fingers up to Chelsea, Mouronho and that Russian and those smug Chelsea fans who thought they had it in the bag and was about to beat us with the help of a corrupt referee.
Thank you Mr Frank Lampard, you've made my day despite the two points lost. You deserved that goal and Chelsea deserved that slap in the face for dropping you like garbage, I hope you have a wonderful end to your career with New York City FC.
Well done lads for fighting in the face of adversity.
Mourinho does hypocrisy and cowardice like its going out of fashion. Clearly the eye poking coward is still smarting that ManU gave the job the cretin so desperately he want to Moyes instead of the translator. City will be top of the pile when it matters the end of the season. Just like Whingers Arseall Chelsea will implode.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about Costa, he has spent all his time in La Liga bullying centre backs until they are worn down.
ReplyDeleteWhilst I disagree about Zabaleta's red card, mainly because there was nothing he could ever do in rewinding the incident (Da Costa was going to take the yellow card if it meant a 2nd yellow was for Zab). Whilst I disagree with that, you do have to rewind the tape and remember quite well, that Silva, already on a yellow card, ploughed (and let's not exaggerate, he was miles away from the ball and an attack was on), ploughed into Willian and should have been second yellowed
You are right to criticise Dean, but only on the basis that his 'yellow card tombola' meant that Manchester City got the first red. I witness the same foul happen 5 minutes apart and saw one a yellow but another just a free kick.
The result became a fair reflection of the contest. When 2 sides, and a referee can't work out what their agenda actually is, then a point shared is a fine example of how sport should not be celebrated. Sadly, an advertisment for a great league it was not.
I love Pellegrini btw, I love La Liga and felt sorry for him at Malaga. Although I have a big issue with the elite running football. Which is probably why Man City won't be dealt the same punishment as Malaga over financial fair play. But as a Betis fan, I should thank Man City for Santa Cruz for the one season, what a gent he is :)
I disagree with you completely on the Silva v Willian, Willian also tried to get Silva sent off. The referee saw this because Willian is twice the size of Silva and Silva barely touched him. Dean had already wrongfully sent off Zabaleta, if he did send Silva off it would have been the biggest sporting headline in the media since Diego Maradona and the Hand of God. Fair reaction it was not by a million miles, four yellow cards and one red card for City for playing good old English football, compared to two yellow card for Chelsea while Chelsea were smashing into City players like freight trains with no driver. Mike Dean blatantly allowed Chelsea to push City around and get away with it, while punish City for giving back as good as they got.
