Don't talk daft. 5 yards out of the penlty area, with no striker around, is defender territory. No question about it. There was no reason for the keeper to around 20 yards off his line.

Has the league season ended? Was the Spurs / Wigan game a friendly? Does goal difference not count anymore? If Spurs had hit the woodwork, rather than the net, on 9 occasions, would you still have the same view? If not, why not?

Have you actually read Aristotle? Tell me how Aristotle has influenced some of the great German thinkers?

So every single form of cheating no matter what context or end result is the same?

If Spurs miss out on the Champions League by one goal, then it is just as, if not, more crucial than Ireland not getting to the World Cup.

Quite a lot of people actually. That was one suggestion put forward after FIFA refused to back down to the FAI's requests. Stupid, I know.

Even if you win the ball i did not think this type of challenge was permitted.
It was a block. Babel was injured by the ball. Is stamping on someone's back legal? Skrtel thinks so.
De Jong is slowly turning in to a favourite of mine after some anonymous displays, followed by inconsistency. He has been impressive in most games he has played this season, and seems to be improving.
I am not really keen on holding midfielders, as they are not proper footballers in my opinion as most of them cannot pass the ball. However, he is becoming a favourite of mine because of his attitude.
In a 50:50 I would back him against any Prem footballer.

He's a good player but not sure he is any better than Mascherano, Fletcher, Essien, Palacious to name but a few.
