Uh huh.

Where abouts you live?

My tour of London is:

Born in Tower Hamlets, & have lived in Tottenham, Enfield, Willesden & now Wembley .

In those areas I've never experienced any racism - there's always been a healthy mix.

Yourself?

South East London

Wembley Eh? Loads of us down there

Asians you mean?

Especially Ealing Road, Alperton - you'd think you were in Dehli!

But Asian mates have told me that Hounslow & Southall are really "Mini - India."

For us Afro-Carribeans I suppose that Harlesden (NW10), Brixton & Tottenham (N17) are the Hotspots. I've lived in 2 of those postcodes

Yep Indians, Yep RE: Southall etc.

To me it seems obvious that he was sent off for deliberately barging into Assou-Ekotto. I'm surprised people didn't notice that straight away.

And Parks Lives, re: your first post in this thread, I honestly wouldn't put anything past Mourinho.

Started of ok, but have consistently gone downhill. Sad really.

Here in Portugal, on TV, they just said it was a second card for barging into a player.

I like Wembley!

Best curry houses in London

When I was in London, that was Brick Lane.

North London is by far the best part of the City - Except Hackney.

South London... Especially Bermondsey, Peckham & Lambeth

He brushed into him as he turned round and ran back to his defensive duties. I think most unbiased commentators (and that isn't you in this instance) thought the sending off was ridiculous.

Most unbiased English pundits/commentators, who think Terry is the salt of the earth and even congratulated him for walking off the pitch without a fuss, you mean?

some of the comments on it here are hilarious... purely because the incident involved terry of course

You'd rather he made a big fuss and complained to the referee and refused to leave the field?!?

The man can't win !

No. I'm making the point that our media, commentators and pundits are hardly going to give a balanced view when its regarding the England captain.

Half the pundits and commentators have no respect for referee's anyway.

Mostly pundits are unfair to referees, it's a tough job but sometimes they really don't deserve any respect. It's Poll's job to referee the match not to wage a one man crusade against John Terry.
I defended Rooney when he was sent off in Holland because it was unjust as was his treatment afterwards (the 3 game ban). It's a pity that some people can't get beyond their natural bias to judge this case honestly.

So because I don't back John Terry I'm letting bias getting in the way?

Ok, then.

Why do you think he weren't complaining?

Because they all bumlick Terry.

10/10 every game before he's even stepped on the pitch.

Or maybe it's because they never point out his errors & flaws.

The guy obviously decided to walk because he knew he'd done something naughty, whether the ref was aware of it or not.

No you tell me what you saw which was worthy of a sending off. Nothing else is relevant. Had it been one of your players you'd have been jumping up and down.

No, thanks.

So what had he done? The incident has been replayed a dozen times. If that was a booking then half a dozen players should be booked at every corner.

1st yellow + Bad Tackcle

2nd Yellow = Aggressive Behaviour. I believe it was a combination of Throwing King to the ground and deliberately barging into Assou-Ekotto.

Clutching at straws just like Poll.

He's a thug.

Justice for all those Handballs.

One of those handballs that were never given was when Poll was refing, it was at Stamford Bridge.

Poll really had it in for him then.

How about Wenger and Pardew used to be best mates so it proves that nothing happened on Sunday. Your argument doesn't wash.

Lots of players get sent off wrongly during a premiership season, why are we making a big deal out of this one?

Answer: because it's Chelsea.

and because its john terry!
Barging/shoving/pushing are all yellow card offences and thats why he was sent off. It was just bad luck he on ready had a deserved yellow card

Is Terry going to miss Chelsea's next game in the EPL? Or do they count the midweek Carling Cup game.
