Gamba beat ten man Kashima to win 2008 ACL……

You know what really pi$$es me off….. lazy reports stating that a team beat “ten man someone or other”… it just doesn’t tell the story or mean anything…….. for example….I quote the Yomiuri of November 2008 ….. SNIP”….. Gamba 4-0 up against Kashima Antlers in the Asian Champions League Final 2008 and Toru Araiba, playing against his former club, was sent off for a petulant kick at Gamba’s 17 year old genius (insert name here) in the 89th minute….. “Headline, Gamba beat ten man Antlers to secure Champions Cup.Now, I ask you, does that not cheapen the victory, everyone not knowing the whole story thinking Villa had it easy against ten men for most of the game!!? But it happens in print, almost every week!Alan
