"The game is hard enough at the moment. The Premier League is a physical league, it is fast and furious, and people are going to make tackles.
"Give red cards for dangerous and malicious tackles where studs are up, fair enough. It is not a game for women."

Ha ha hilarious. He's still a **** though
