Uneven certainly
Well, it looked to me like Mikel was trying to stop his momentum by planting both feet into the pitch. OTOH, Cole should have been sent off, and probably would have if the ref hadn't been harsh on Mikel. Cole was sh*te all day.
Saha certainly played it up, but Ben Haim was sloppy regardless.
Chelsea just didn't have the life in 'em. Sheva has had enough trouble, leaving him up there alone was useless. They were already behind early. Jose'... I can't stand him, but he would have stood the lads up to fight, certainly.
The overall result was probably not out of line, in the end, but there is certainly better officiating out there... Maybe we should recall Graham Poole! :-)
