I nearly did a post yesterday about how dull the refereeing vedetta against Cahill on the

derby is becoming

Last season that tackle he got a straight red for, was only a yellow

Then the other day he was booked early on, and Skrtel was trying his best to get him sent off. Same thing happened yesterday with Skrtel, and other players like you say

But in the end I had praise for Benett. He booked him after the first little thing he did, which I expected, but by the end of the game he was resisting sending him off. I don't know if Benett worked out what was going on, or just didn't think it was a red, but it was good to see desperate tactics from Liverpool weren't paying off

It's where I draw the football karma thing from. Liverpool should concentrate on trying to win instead of fued tactics or diving for penalties

What I enjoyed a lot about that game is just how much Pienaar wound up Liverpool's defence. They may as well have just told him they thought he was having a great game, their anger really showed it
