The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

That's the media. I'm not serving the media so couldn't give a **** what lines they spout. Jack Wheelchair has stagnated, barely moving forward and largely overrated. Barkley will be better than him and recognised as such in the not so distant future.

Wheelchair bound to raise his game with Ozil and Cazorla next to him
 
That goal ultimately came from that braindead free kick Cole gave away in midfield. Deserves a smack for stupidity.

Barkley does indeed look as good as everyone says. Baines fantastic too in that half. Barry good. Decent team to watch.

For the other crowd, Eto'o was slow on the Howard mistake, Schurrle looks like he's bemused, don't fancy Luiz, Mata looks a bit sullen. Unlucky in fairness not to have scored.
 
Were we linked with Alvarez from Inter in the summer?

Watching Inter/Juve and the guy looks the bollox.

The ref decided to give the freekick.
 
Don't see why he didn't play the advantage, watch to see how the tussle unfolded and had Altidore gone over, a free kick could have been awarded then.
 
Paolo Di Canio criticised referee Martin Atkinson after he ruled out Jozy Altidore's goal in Sunderland's 3-1 defeat against Arsenal.

Sunderland were 2-1 down at the Stadium of Light when Altidore netted, but Atkinson had already blown for a foul on the United States international by Bacary Sagna outside the area.

Di Canio, who was later sent off for protesting against perceived time-wasting by Arsenal, was also angry that Sagna was not sent off for preventing a clear goalscoring opportunity, given that Altidore's shot did end up in the net.

"This is a big mistake, it's obvious," Di Canio told BBC Sport. "This is not Paolo Di Canio's opinion. The referee has to wait and see how the action finishes.

"When it is body to body with Jozy Altidore and Bacary Sagna, he has to wait until how it finishes and not stop the game. It was a clear big, big mistake.

"I didn't protest because a mistake can happen. But he has to realise that he made a mistake which can cost us three points."

The Italian's dismissal to the stands came when he exhorted Atkinson to make Arsenal's physiotherapist hurry up during an injury stoppage.

"You know that if you lose two minutes (to an injury stoppage) they are never going to replace them," said Di Canio.

"(Atkinson) came to me and said if you keep going with your manner I will send you up to the stand. I said to him 'if you want to complete a perfect job, you send me off.' He took it seriously and sent me off. Next time I will not invite the referee to send me off."

Altidore also felt that his strike should have been allowed.

"I was just tussling back and forth with Bacary Sagna but I thought the referee was going to let us play," he said.

"I got the better of him and then finished it off but I didn't hear the whistle and it was brought back.

"The keeper didn't either as he played 100 per cent and I think Kieran Gibbs tried to clear it too. It was a good time to score and it would have been a good reward for us."
