A Rant:
After a great weekend of football, both league and cup, yet again, all the media seem able to talk about is whether Ashley Young dived (he did) or whether Mata's goal crossed the line (it didn't). These are talking points and do inevitably reinvigorate arguments about goal-line technology and cheating in the game but it's an old argument we've all made our minds up about it anyway. And it doesn't eclipse the real issues of the weekend: why did Spurs capitulate in the second half of the game/final third of the season? Would an FA Cup be enough to keep Di Matteo in the Chelsea job? Where would Man City now be in the league had Tevez not gone walkabout? Does Carroll's goal mean he's turned the corner at Liverpool? Is the title race still on?
End of rant.
