Liverpool vs Chelsea
A new rule book was launched by the F.A. and Mike Riley over
the weekend, heres a quick guide by FMU on when to award a red card
Lampard goes in for a tackle and wins the ball, this is now considered violent conduct and warrants a straight red card by the referee.
Gerrard dives into a tackle, similar style to Lampard without winning the ball. (5 mins on the video) This is now to be considered worthy only of a ticking off and any dissent to be passed off as just a bit of passion.
While Bosingwa decides that the best way to win the ball is to launch a kick into the middle of the Liverpool players back. As he explains after the match "it was never my intention to hurt him" if a player expresses this kind of sympathy then no card should be awarded.
The rules have also been changed so that Gerrard can now be booked for diving, although incidents such as these are still not allowed to be publicised in the national press.

A few from around the grounds:
Robinho are you listening.

All those empty seats
And home defeats
Walking in a City wonderland.
