If the ball boys had been racing to get it back in play the Swansea fans would probably have given them a kicking afterwards instead. I can understand the frustration from the Chelsea players but the reaction by Hazard was just idiotic. The moral outrage in the papers will be hilarious, shame it will lead to fewer people talking about how well Swansea played though, thought they were really impressive.

Official Chelsea Twitter feed continues the club's spectacular PR work with this effort: "Has football gone mad? Hazard is sent off for kicking the ball under a ball boy attempting to smother the ball rather than return it. #CFC" I'm sure that ball boy gave an invisible card gesture at one point though.

It's like this is wrestling and Chelsea are this season's designated evil character. 'And then how about one of their players attacks a child?'.

What the hell is going on with Barcelona's away kit? It's utterly horrific.

I approve of Merkel's celebrations. Love it when politicians look like they actually care about the match rather than having an expression that says 'why in god's name am I being forced to sit here by my spin doctors?'

If I remember correctly, they basically changed the rule for that one year because there was such a media stink but then made it clear that they wouldn't do it again.

I can't stand Chelsea usually, but this has been awesome.

I've got an image of John Terry's lawyer a few weeks ago saying "Now John, I'm sure it will all be fine as long as you do nothing that makes you look like the kind of person who would do something utterly stupid on a football pitch and then lie about it."

Hmmm, not sure I'm buying John Terry's excuse

I absolutely suck at this. I'm struggling to even get the gold on the sunset stripped track, which is basically still at the wearing stabilisers stage.

Late to the party but have just got this so if anyone feels like adding me feel free. Not sure if it helps or not that I'm undoubtedly going to be utterly useless.

I've just received a batch of emails thanking me for purchasing a load of Xbox points. On turning on my console it said that I had last logged on on another console and had recently been playing Fifa 12. Rang the support team and the bloke said this was the second call he had got on this today. I haven't not stuck my card details into some fake website, and now my account is frozen and I'm about to see £90 pop up on my credit card bill (which I've been told will be paid back). All spent on Fifa apparently. Apologies if this is totally old news, but thought I'd flag it up and advise people to keep an eye on any purchases they've supposedly made.

The winner should get a Champions League slot. That'd make it a cracking knock out cup with none of the league bollocks.

I liked that chubby fella digging up some of the turf

I hope nobody in Liverpool had put a tenner on that happening
