mourihino sowing the seeds into the refs minds already is thie the player that goes around kicking ball boys My thoughts exactly - never liked Hazard after he kicked that ball boy. The 17 year old ball 'boy' who boasted he was going to waste time, held onto the ball to do so and then feigned injury when he got a tap off a player? Or was there a different incident where he actually did something wrong?

That would be the rock hard bloke who was frightened of flying Mr T isnt scared of flying. That would be B.A How do you know? They just wrote his natural fear of flying into the A Team script

A 'dirty' tag is hard to get rid of.
You still hear Leeds being preceded with the word and that was from 40+ years ago.
If it instils fear in the opposition at The Brit then it's in our favour and doesn't concern me one bit...

The Daily Mail for News, is akin to Arsenal and fair play.

a dirty tag is hard to get rid of when players like Bardsley make challenges like that!
less to do with media laziness and the world being against us, more to do with it being an awful challenge...let's stop blaming the media for our "Dirty tag" and place the blame where it actually lies i.e. some of the players we have that DO carry out terrible challenges (Bards and Charlie being the worst in general)
