So you're thinking on his behalf now?

I agree though I don't think Brana is getting nearly enough credit for executing the famous headlock, headbutt, bite combo so expertly that nobody is ..... actually sure what he did

No, I'm just using common sense.

It was either a reaaaally shit attempt at a head butt- so bad that his mouth has bounced off McCarthy's shoulder twice; or he's deliberately made contact on to McCarthy's shoulder with his mouth. If it was the latter, what other reason could you give aside from an intended bite? Having a deep whiff? Wiping his mouth? Kinky foreplay?

What do you mean guessing? It's fairly obvious to everyone else I've talked to that he's either gone for a head butt, or a bite that he reconsidered at the last second. Unless he failed a head butt, you don't just press your mouth on some guy's body amidst a heated confrontation for no reason.

You can see clearly (from all angles) that Ivanovic didn't bite, or throw a headbutt. Those accusations are so silly, and so contrived, that even the FA couldn't possibly charge him with either 'offence'. What he did do though, is forcibly manhandle another player. He really should have stayed out of it all. Again, it is likely to come down to whether or not, the ref says he saw it. If it's mentioned in his report (i.e., that he saw it, and recommends no further action be taken) , then that's the end of it. If however he claims not to have seen it, then the circus will continue. Looking at the vision again a few minutes' ago, I can't see how Moss could claim not to have seen the incident, as he was right there on the spot. Mind you, I thought the same about Oliver and the Costa 'stamp'.

Yes, but I never stated that Ivanovic actually bit him. I was merely suggesting a motive (which I think is obvious, providing it wasn't a bad head butt attempt) behind his decision to bump his face into McCarthy's shoulder. So yes, he didn't bite him, but I think he had some intention to. But, if there indeed was no intention to bite, then I think he was indeed throwing a head butt, albeit a very bad and soft one. That head movement wasn't purely nothing, there was a clear negative intention behind it. I'm not really fussed about whether he gets charged or not, it's not a serious enough incident for me to worry about. I just find the irony of it funny.

A peck is much closer to a bite than anything else

Unless they're just thinking about it, of course

Have a read of Mark Worralls latest on EPSN. very well written by a man who has seen it all at the bridge (and wrote the book about it.)

Spot on. Genius and personality

It's hardly surprising that Mourinho is whinged about by bitter supporters of less significant clubs whose managers have little of either
