Bollocks.

Fights in football matches are great, everyone knows it. Who seriously sits at home and thinks 'thats a shame, some of the passing on display here was first rate, and this fight has spoilt my enjoyment'? No one. They go 'wahey! quick, Fabregas has gone a little crazy and Wayne Bridge has been laid out, come look'. It annoyed me that Sky didn't replay the fight, kill joys.

No one likes to admit it, but football as a dramatic art form is improved, not hindered, by the following:

Sendings Off
Own Goals
Flood light failure
Mind bogglingly amusing refereeing decisions
Manager squabling with fans/officials/each other
Neil Warnock

Hooray for footballing chaos. The league Cup Final was priceless.
