Noble is also capable of a challenge like that, which, as some bod on MOTD said yesterday, always looks worse when its slowed down.
It would be a shame if the player got banned for it, what with
(a) the ref being practically close enough to tie their laces for them, and
(b) if you look closely Noble getting up and re-joining the play fairly quickly anyway.
I'm having a bit of a laugh at all this talk of agendas on here, though. I know that fan sites bring out the bunker mentality across the board, but, if there was anything truly wrong with the officiating yesterday, it was that, when fairly and squarely on a yellow Kompany went on to commit two further bookable offences, against the same player - on one occasion doing so when there was a chance for a pacy forward to get behind the defence and run on goal. And the other? A flying kick basically...
All in all, the ref was mediocre and it affected the game for both sides.
I hope Aguero doesn't get any retrospective punishment.
He needs to practice his open goal technique, however.

Good win for you yesterday mate and hope you did it justice with a decent celebratory drink .... or two. It was a good game to watch, plenty of action and talking points and the 2 goals say that you were good for it.
Well done mate.

No mention of Amalfitano jumping into the crowd when already booked though, a definite red card. They also mentioned that Kompany should have seen a second yellow which I have to agree with.
