Don't they have that in the Premiership?

Wasn't one of the Arsenal players done for that earlier in the season?

I'm going to have to watch the replay - I fell asleep waiting for the game - got woken by Nutters text at 5am - got up hoping for a replay - and there wasn't one. Couldn't get back to sleep.

So today - have sleep deprivation - and missed the game. Talk about a lose-lose!

Stoked for the All White players - in terms of gulf in class - Andy Barron, who came on at the end, works in a bank. He had to get time off work for this tournament. There's some perspective.

Apparently his own workmates didn't know he played in the national squad - until they saw him on the field in the qualifier against Bahrain.

All good fella. should have stayed up for it anyway.

Kaka's sending off was another complete joke - the Ivory Coast player was just ridiculous.

One could say it's karma for Rivaldo's pathetic impersonations of being hurt during the Japan/Korea Cup - ball hits him in the chest/stomach - he grabs at his face and flails around like he's been shot. Just random.

But Ryan Nelson got a yellow for walking off the field with cramp in his legs?! wtf? Was it because he didn't get on the stretcher? His comment about the ref was telling "Well if that's a good one, I don't want to see a bad one!"

Roll on Paraguay - will defo get up for that game. NZ on the same points as England after 2 games - who would have thought it.
