Just to be clear 'touching the player' is not required in a red card decision. A wrecklass or dangerous challenge is enough. Not to say that this challenge warranted a red, but the idea that there has to be contact is a misconception.
 
How is that not a red card? No consistency with these refs.

Maybe he was standing in a bad angle or just judged it differently than we do from this replay. They don't have the luxury of seeing it in slow motion replays from 10 different angles, of course they aren't going to be consistent, there's a great deal of judgment involved and the refs in the premier league are not one big organism.

I'm not saying English refs can't be bad at times or even horrible, but it's hard to criticize him too much for not sending off a player, who didn't even hit the opponent.
 
Completely forgot that Walcott was on the pitch. Nasri-esque.

It was only the other week that Nasri created a goal-scoring opportunity every 24 minutes. More than any other player.

How many assists at White Hart Lane again?

Sunderland are beastly under MON. How far can he take them? top 6 next season? It's more than doable.
 
Oh well I'm sure we'll bounce back against Spurs next weekend, that game is going to be loads of fun to watch in our current form.
