I was actually expecting that too. Guess the referee didn't dare (yeah I know, big club, famous player, etc, etc, and you're right)
ACTUALLY, I just checked the match report and he was indeed yellow carded. Just the telly didn't show it.

So what we're saying is that is is perhaps only a good idea on paper then? Maybe so. Of course the flip side (as Batman states) is the deterrent of a foreign jail for committing a crime abroad.

Same here. Dunno if brits are mandated by it, but EU can't extradite prisoners to countries where they could face a death penalty. About sending prisoners to their countries, problem is that you need to have a standing repatriation treaty with them. You can't just stuff them in a plane and parachute...

Great Panini sticker website

Only 1984-1985 seasons, so no Bolton in it. But you can check the Red Scousers to see how Sammy Lee and Phil Neal looked back then.

Villa is great, however he is usually wasted in the wing at the national team while Torres gets the centreforward spot. which one is the better player?

Felix Ettien is a Makelele type of player, although he can also play on the wing. Great physical prowess, he can make incredible runs to the box. I put him there to add some physicality to the team, and somebody who can actually make a tackle. It was either him or Duscher from Depor, but from Depor ...

He was classy at Valladolid, not featured much at Real. He was at Bolton when I begun following them, but never actually know what didn't work out with him. I rated Julio.
