Didn't Giroud get a yellow against Leicester not long ago for virtually standing in front of Schwarzer while kicking out?

lol ... that was a brainfart from the ref. His whole game was a brainfart to be more accurate.

Giroud wasn't even trying to block it - Schwarzer just shanked the kick square into his back

Good thing they can laugh about it in hindsight. :p
Certainly wouldn't be any laughing if it wasn't for Remy's goal haha.

But that sort of thing is great to see. Just another reason to love Hazard.

Hoddle documentary Sky had on a couple of weeks ago


Great player and a great doco.

Its interesting hearing him talk about being a creative player in that era which often gets over looked when comparing modern day "great players"

Playing on mud pitches, 4-4-2's and 4-5-1's being played by all, a heavier ball that soaked up the water, defenders that were legally allowed to kick the s**t out of you and scrag you all over the pitch etc etc.

Put a player like Hoddle into the modern game.....

I also didn't realize just how little he won in his career, 2 FA cups and a EURO Cup. His only league title funnily enough coming under Wenger at Monaco :p
