Like to see Sandro rested for the Reading game, with Parker to replace him.

They can have Bale for Modric + £30mAlso, Mourinho:
"Modric is still having some small problems, especially when playing two consecutive matches in three days," he said. "Each time we pick him twice in a row his performance has not been the best."

Regarding Bale, he definitely dives. There is no doubt about that. He says he does it because of the speed he is travelling at and to break his fall to prevent injury.
However, there is also no doubt there was a foul before he went down today. He was booked for appealing for that foul as the ref thought Bale was conning him with simulation of the foul.
I have seen Bale dive plenty of times in the past and refs not book him because he didn't actually appeal for a foul and knew there wasn't enough contact or any contact at all (e.g. vs Guzan).
The ref had his card out before Bale had got up off the deck, he couldn't wait to book him - he didn't even consult his linesman to get their opinion.......which on such a big call in the match is ridiculous.
The reaction of the Sunderland defender should have given him some indication as well, he went over to lend his hand to help him up......if he thought Bale was cheating there is no way he'd react like that.
I'm going to go for a 2-1 And a Lennon goal, we'll see. On my way up now, COYS

He wasn't helping him up, he was in his face accusing him of going down easy, from what I could tell anyway
Gotta say outside of Adebayor I thought we looked really good today. Disappointed that Defoe couldn't finish off the game but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on his season's form.
I don't know if this is true, but if it's true, then :avblol: #AVBsfault
I don't know about that. With our penalty record it'd make no bloody difference anyway.Hopefully, the reaction to the Bale decision on MOTD (surely they will agree the referee got it wrong) and elsewhere will work in our favour and we get a few easy penalty decisions after this as the referees try to make up for the mistakes.
what's that weird 'eeek' sound bale makes at the end of the interview?
