The way they embraced, it didn't really look like a fight, it was more like.. Did you ever see Bruno, the Sasha Baron Cohen film? The whole thing reminded me of the cage fight scene in that film.

sonofmidnight Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I find it interesting that neither Rowett or Allen want to pursue this incident. Is it because it really was no big thing or is it that Allen did something to Johnson that was not seen by fans at match or on Skye. There definitely was a mark on Johnson's neck. I think a line should be drawn under the whole incident. It was a dirty thuggish match and passions were run ing high. Men in suits should keep out of this.

B4ev6is Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Bradley johnson was a silly man for doing it in the first place. But no justice get away stoke players get away scot free. If I was mel I get lawers involded over there maybe ending one playing career after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Bit dramatic that B4, the ref rightfully booked Allen and rightfully sent off Etebo. The only thing they got away with is Allen kicking the ball away for a second yellow. Not sure what lawyers can do about that. It is 2018 though, who knows, anything goes.

BondJovi Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Johnson certainly did himself no favours but Allen was equally a muppet if not more so. I wasn't aware it was acceptable to go charging into the back of people because you are unhappy and then put them in a headlock. You either punish them both or leave it as was, a yellow on the night. Sky have certainly done us no favours here. I thought Lampard being here would make us media darlings but I actually feel we are now a target to make an example of.

I am just wondering whether Bradley will take his punishment and keep his mouth shut, or try and take Allen down with him. I'd do the latter - Allen will be a much bigger miss for Stoke than Johnson will be for us (sorry Bradley!) It seems unfair to me that Johnson gets the punishment because the camera angle is more clear of what he did than of what Allen did inside that bear hug. I'm thinking the Sky behaviour towards us is more about the disputed EFL deal than about Lampard, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Would love to be bothered by this but I'm simply not. Be gone at the end of the year, and could ban him til then and I wouldn't be bothered. See what Max Bird can do, George Evans nearly back too... and January round the corner.

Gaspode Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Only thing I want Johnson to do is issue a public appolgy to us and the club for making us the laughing stock of football - and to instruct his agent to find somewhere else for him to carry on his neanderthal activites. - and I don't actually give a monkey's what Allen did to provoke him, biting is just unacceptable in a civilised world......

A Ram for All Seasons Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 All hell was loose in my missus's kindergarten recently when a little lad decided to bite a little girl in the arm. It was the first case of biting in over six years, and that's on a rough estate. Grown men should not be going around biting each other. Even the kiddies don't do it very often.

Ghost of Clough Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Forgive me if I'm mistaken as it doesn't tend to happen to me, but when put in a headlock, isn't the natural reaction to: 1. Move your head towards their body 2. Clench your neck and teeth 3. Try to pull away I think it could be argued this is exactly what Bradley did.

TuffLuff Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Don’t quite see this ‘we won’t miss Johnson’ debate as he was pivotal to some of our displays this season and our midfield looks very lightweight without him around. He’s also been part of some of our best midfield performances this season. Yeah he’s not ideal as a DM but his all action approach actually gets us on the front foot in games which we need to play how we want. Think some of you need to be careful for what you wish for a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePrisoner Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I don’t get why everyone is calling for his head on here when Allen and Rowett has already said he didn’t bite Allen. He’s been behind some of our best performances this season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I think a joint statement that they're lovers and were just indulging in a public display of affection would defuse the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
