Big shout for a Wigan penalty but I am going with the ref, Ivanovich had both his arms inside his body as a player does when in a wall, ball was kicked straight at him. |

Read and believe, 26 incidents in 94 minutes, less than 1 every 3 minutes, yes this was the EPL.
Was it the exertions of high pressure games a few days earlier, were Chelsea expecting a pushover? I don’t know, but I could not fathom the lack of effort from Chelsea. The game lacked quality, passion and commitment.
In truth they could have called a guy out of the local pub to ref this one, and he would have got 50%. perhaps because it was such a dreary non event of a match Atkinson decided not to book anyone. but the laws are the laws and he was charitable on two occasions.
