c***...and that's before the rest. His lack of respect for the officials tonight was disgutsing
If we had a player sent off for a similar challenge, I'd expect Pardew to have a go at the officials tbh.
Give over, man. Challenges like Pepe's tonight can ruin knees and subsequently careers.
What? Yes Pepe raised his foot but there was hardly any contact coz he turned at the last second and if anything it was his back that bumped into Alves. Of course just the way Pinto clutched his face when he ran into Pepe, Alves clutched his knees as if it was already broken. Yes Madrid players like De Maria and Marcelo are divers too but they don't go to the extent of trying to get opponents sent off. Just see how many players have been sent off against Barcelona and how many against Madrid. The number speak for themselves. Regardless of their sometimes brilliant football, the way Barcelona players time and time again crowded the ref trying to get a player off is an embarassment to football.
You must have missed Marcelo v Spurs then, when Crouch was sent off.
