Also, actually quite hard to avoid the foul, especially when you have someone like Chamakh who is looking primarily to make contact with you to try and get a free kick and only if that fails, reluctantly to go in on goal.
I'm not convinced if the situation was reversed a Crystal Palace player would have been shown red.
Seriously, stop crying about it.
It is a foul and a red.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
