The ball hit Bunn's right arm, it was rightly red because Fletcher would have had a clear goal scoring opportunity. As for the pen, having seen it again at HT, you are right, Fletcher was offside and there should not have been a pen.

Wasn't intentional from bunn tho, I think petr cech has made a similar mistake too and was given a yellow.

Intention doesn't matter in this case. There was no Norwich defenders behind him when he handled and therefor the ball was definitely going to Fletcher . Bunn illegally denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity, whether or not intentionally is irrelevant.

So errr... let me see.

Sunday 10th March, Liverpool 3-2 Tottenham

Thursday 14th March, Inter 4-1 Tottenham

Sunday 17th March, Tottenham 0-1 Fulham

Oh dearies. Chelsea go 3rd, 5 points ahead of Arsenal and 1 point ahead of Tottenham with a game in hand over the yids. What a day! I'm guessing Bale played the 2nd half right? I mean he looked pretty fucked at H/T but they didn't sub him off from what i've seen.

Btw what a shocking challenge from McManaman, the Wigan player. He should get a 10 match ban for that tackle, absolute disgrace. I'll be surprised if that Newcastle player plays again before 2014.

Definitely a red but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. He was clearly going for the ball and it was one footed. He deserves a suspension but I've seen many worse tackles-it's the awful injury, the outcome of the tackle that makes it so bad.

Nice results for us. So we are trailing City by 4 points, we have 1 more than Spurs (we have a game in hand) and we are 5 ahead of Arsenal. I say let's push the citizens for 2nd and let the North London teams to battle it out for 4th. What do you think?

Yeah I'm sick of this 'sensational' society...

Debut to a young lad - over eager to impress and makes a MISTAKE - do we really think he did it on purpose? I don't. It's not like Roy Kean on Alf Inge Haaland (great player)...

The media (same as the Hazard story) need to shut the fuck up. Football is a contact sport and those are the risks. The Ref couldn't see it, but the linesman could - he should have flagged it!

The kid will get suspended, the other player will recover. Non story.

Even if the other players career is ended - that's life! I'm not being a cunt, but these guys get paid aweek more than most people earn in a year - for precisely this reason.

Just sick of the over-reaction :(
