CALLYMART (U6864681) posted Dec 21, 2006 It seems odd that it took him 3 days to apologise. He could have viewed the incident on Sunday and apologised Monday morning. The suspicion is Chelsea have taken legal advice and were surprised that Everton were not going to let it fade away. I actually think he was entitled to his initial view.He has a right to free speech and Everton/Johnson have the right to complain. We all have to make judgment calls in life.Even if you think Wenger should do the same sometimes, makes no difference. Thats his choice and you can dislike him for it.Mourinho, great coach, but can someone tell him to stop waving imaginary yellow cards from the dugout.

Everton must be commended for such milestone.Histroy will for a long time remember such respect of the game by Everton.
