Mirth To be fair we beat them at their ground 3-1 with 10 men, Hleb and Fabregas in midfield, and 3-1 the season before in the FA cup, again Hleb in midfield.
We were victims to a hell of a lot of dirty shit back then, the 'kick 'em because they're soft' mantra was a factor in every game and worst of all, one that was completely accepted by the refs too. And that's why we had 3 players in 3 years with snapped tibias and fibulas, feet dangling at the ankle. Disgusting.
