Not everyone does it. But it's certainly a useful weapon to have in the side. It's not cheating, it's perfectly within the rules of the game. Plenty of players like to "niggle" at each other, Adam El Abd is a MASTER at it, that's why he gets more notice for it than others. I can't think of many...
He was on him on the corners. Carroll scored ONE goal, and El Abd wasn't on him at that point. So not sure what you're on about. El Abd did a fantastic job on him 1st half (ended 1-1), then went off at 2-1. We then got battered by FOUR more goals while Adam was off the pitch.
Get Lambert sent off? Keep Andy Carroll quiet? Get Ameobi sent off? It's won us plenty of points, and is very funny to boot. Why wouldn't you want that?
Totally agree with this, on the other hand. Greer's been in the best form of his whole season recently. Him and Upson seem to have a great understanding.
Nah, I don't count those. As mentioned above, he was the one being fouled for one of those 2, ridiculous decision.
So considering he's someone who "always looks like he's about to give away a penalty", he very, VERY rarely does.
