Appealing the Matic red card apparently, I can understand the reaction from Matic but not sure he's going to get the red revoked for his reaction.

[Vermilion]

If he gets it revoked, it will be a clear indication of sympathy towards poor Maureen and Chavski, a bit of pay back for all those bad decisions they've apparently had, which no other teams ever suffer from!

[RichC]

I can understand the reaction from Matic tbh it was terrible tackle but you can't do that and it was a red card however the Burnley player should certainly have seen red as well.

[Vermilion]

HA! So Maureen phoned up GOS to ask if he could go on the show that day, they dropped James Beattie and put Maureen on instead.

What a whinging ****. Does he not get enough air time already to say wtf he wants !

Embarrassing!

[RichC]

I find it quite funny he's actually doing more harm than good for them at the moment.

To use the current parlance...

He's rattled.

Or alternatively...

He's just doing what he always does. Seeking to put all the pressure and attention of the run in on to himself, take the pressure off his players and foster that siege mentality.

[Vermilion]

Whatever he's doing has been done a thousand times!

By Him!

Does psychology really work when everyone knows what's going on ?

[dom9]

I think there's something in it. Ferguson used to do it too.

Both very successful managers.

That's not to say it's the only way to build a winning squad.

[Vermilion]

You're probably right, i think they get/got far too much help from the media to achieve it though.

[dom9]

Well, in the age of 24 hour rolling sports channels, acres of print and hundreds of websites, it provides good copy.

[Vermilion]

Not sure i'd rate it 'Good' copy. But it fills their pages i guess.

Chelsea signed T Hazard for €500k on 24/7/12. He spent 37 days at Stamford Bridge, played once (for U21s). Sold for €8m today, 1500% markup

I bet they buy low priced players, then make snide deals to sell them to other clubs, but pay for it themselves, which means they get the inflated prices pumped into the club as turnover, when really it's just a way of Abram'vic putting his own money in.

Maybe.

[Chazza]

Just to piss Jose off some more Ashley Barnes has got away with his 'tackle' on Matic. No FA charge.
