Re: Premier League / Football / Etc...

Can't agree there, he went out of his way to block that free kick (not like when the players taking it do it deliberately at the opposition close by), and the second was a ridiculous challenge. Neither really dangerous obviously, but both yellow cards all day long.

Re: Premier League / Football / Etc...

Not sure anyone can complain about the decision to send Mata off. Both are yellow cards every single time in any game, he was idiotic! Regardless of whether you think they should be, they always are and there is no other way to look at it. He was dumb.

Re: The Heads ATP warm up show in London next year

There is a cheap travelodge very close to the ruby lounge (2 or 3 infact) and also a Motel One which can sometimes be cheap and is fairly decent. Gardens Hotel and Sachas are maybe the cheapest options, but both are very sketchy.

We haven't won back-to-back games in the league since, that is not even worthy of a top half finish. We need to shape up immediately or risk having a real horrorshow of a situation by the time we play united.
