Swansea gotta try take the counter when they get the ball, but so far so good.


West Ham holding on to 1-1. Great strike by Podolski. :dopey:



Arsenal 5 - 1 West Ham! :dunce:

What a start to 2nd half.

What the hell Hazard ?! :sick:

Astonishing ...
 
He got red carded! :dunce:


Sure, he should not kick him like that, but a yellow card would be enough.

Ref had no choice, you just cannot do that, plain and simple. What a total fool!

What !? Straight red and ban. That was utterly shameful.

You won't see a clearer red card than that all season... he kicked a ballboy in the ribs (albeit he was trying to kick the ball underneath him) while the guy was lying on the ground... I reckon he will be suspended as well.

And talking of kicking a man while he's down, Chelsea just brought on Torres....

2 minutes of disaster for Chelsea.... Hazard sent off and Torres brought on....

Straight reds normally get a 3 match ban, I would be surprised if he gets more.

Could have given him a yellow and just moved on.

It was shameful, I completely agree.

But the ball boy was lieing over the ball, and with that dragging out the time, and Hazard just tried to get the ball to the keeper to get the game moving.
Of course he could have approached it differently.

But yes, a red can be justified, but I think it was a bit harsh.
 
Was a sending off for me he clearly kicked him in the ribs trying to get the ball back!!

...not long to go now, but there will be a long of added on time...

Yeah, I can agree on a red card, but I still think the ref ruined the rest of the chances Chelsea could have gotten, if they ever had any.

Doing it to a player is a red. Doing it to a ball boy isn't ?

Chelsea have given up now by the looks of it.

Never said it wasn't a red card.

I just said it was a bit harsh, when it spoiled whatever chances Chelsea had left of coming back.
 
Chelsea have barely had a sniff, in fact they could be playing for the rest of the week and I don't think they would score.

The timing of it is irrelevant. I don't think they would've recovered anyway.

Anyway, massive result for Swansea. Can't help but feel glad they won in the end.

They had a few chances, but Tremmel stopped all of it.

All in all, im glad Swansea made it through.

Gonna be hell of a show in the final. :D
 
I just looked up the video, why did the guy just roll over on the ball? Seems like some sort of rule would make that a no-no.

And when is the final?

Looks like he was pushed over as Hazard tried to take the ball off him.

Have to wonder if it'd been different had Terry been playing.
 
God!, i feel like the happiest man in the world!:lol:
So proud to be a Swans fan!!
 
I see where you're coming from.
 
Ball boy was obviously a Swansea fan and hazard will probably have to give him some money for a season ticket at Swansea.

Ball boy however if he did roll over the ball then he won't be a ball boy anymore.

:lol:

Shameful by Hazard. I don't care if he was trying to dislodge the ball or get the game moving, you don't kick a boy, on the ground, to try and accomplish it. Well deserved red - hopefully a nice ban to go along with it.

Great result for Arsenal though - nice to see Giroud, Santi and Podolski finally click!
 
I can only think the ball boy was practising for a rugby match. Also, there was me thinking the Welsh are tough, the lad gets a kick in the ribs and he turns on the waterworks. I was expecting him to chase hazard with the windmills going.
 
#prayforballboy is trending on twitter. :lol:
 
Absolutely no idea what the ball boy thought he was doing, waltzes up to the ball slow as you like, no push from Hazard and falls on top of the ball, and then gives a performance worthy of an oscar when very little contact was made :lol: If you watch the replay closely Hazard hardly touches the kid all the way through.
Feel a bit sorry for Hazard.
