Perfect dive by Drogba (barely touched and acted like he was shot) to get Zokora a card and Chelsea a goal.

Divers are Wankers.

Drogba is probably the worst in the game at the moment. So frustrating he gets away with it so often.

No, that was bad. He's got a long road back.

I'm yet to see the tackle on TV, but saw the pictures in today's paper. OUCH! Players who commit fouls like that should be banned for the length of time the player on the other end of the tackle is out of action for.

That's the end of Eduado's season and maybe his career.

Redemption for the Spurs.

Berbatov!!

I was watching it live and my wife was amazed that they only showed one replay. She said in the NFL, they would've shown it 10 times from 10 different angles. Monday Night Football showed Joe Theisman's leg snapping over and over again...

Is that standard for EPL broadcasts? Was it becasue of the gruesomeness (no clue if I spelled that right)?

Good for Spurs. I'm not even watching the game today, I dislike watching Chelsea games, but I'm not really sure why.

It was a penalty. Chelsea handball in The Area.

Over here they don't tend to repeat bad injuries in any type of sport really. The tabloid newspapers have a field day with the pictures though.
