Marriner's insistence that Arbeloa fouled Hunt on Saturday was incorrect and it led to their goal. In the Arsenal game, Mark Halsey was right there to see the ball come off Boateng and ricochet to an otherwise offside Adebayor. The resulting goal should have stood but he followed his linesman's lead and blew for offside. At the other end, how Alliadiare wasn't judged to have been "interfering with play" after scoring from a run that started in an offside position is beyond me. And then there was Mike Reilly last night. Chelsea's second came off after a clearly offside Drogba plowed into the Spurs defender who was marking Essien, allowing the Ghanian to chip the keeper. Again, how is that not interfering with play? And, of course, the Cole challenge on Hutton was horrific and deserving of a straight red. But, even if it was going to be just a yellow, surely Cole should have picked up a second yellow for his petulance in receiving the card...especially since Reilly had booked Joe Cole for abusing the linesman earlier in the half and had no qualms about booking Robbie Keane for minimal dissent not long after. Terrible stuff.

Cole's challenge on Hutton was an absolute disgrace, easily worse than Taylor's on Eduardo.
