So first off many apologies vis-a-vis the lack of match preview. I was in Dallas for a rugby tournament all weekend (my team is going to nationals!) and I had so much homework Thursday I couldn't do it (I got an hour and a half of sleep on Thursday). Also I'm aware this is a wee bit late, but I only got home about an hour ago.

I've watched this a few times and I am convinced Lee Bowyer has deliberately kicked Luka Modric's legs with real ferocity and had the Croat rolled around the turf for long enough maybe the referee would have given him a caution, which is the least he deserves. He not only wallops the Tottenham players leg he also continues to exert contact as the players fall to the floor, It looks like a pretty nasty challenge to me.

In the 1990s he was famous for doing things like this!

In England, people remember the former Coventry, Sheffield United, Birmingham and Huddersfield striker mainly as a technically gifted forward that on occasion did magical stuff with the ball.
