There are some rules you generally go by two days before a big championship game.
You don’t go out drinking. You get good sleep. You study your opponent.
Oh, and you don’t two-foot your teammates in practice.
Claude Makelele didn’t get the memo on that last once, as Ashley Cole painfully discovered:

What do you think of that tackle? Can you tell Ashley Cole wants to punch Makelele in the face? Share your thoughts below.
Makelele is just a thug anyway. Did you see him getting into all sorts of crap in the CL final?
I love your comment sprool11 😀
It looks like a good hard play to me. A few years ago in play most refs wouldn’t have even called that a foul (having taken a few like that, believe me I know…). Besides, there’s more of a risk of injury in scrimmaging at 80% than 100%
You guys are missing the real point, which is that now Grant has an excuse to keep Cole and his suckitude on the bench. The manager probably gave Makalele a pat on the back. Yes I know suckitude is not a real word.
The music is so appropriate…it’s hilarious.
Not completely letting up is one thing, going in like a freaking idiot is a whole other thing.
that looked like an Ikangu tackle…
didn’t look that bad too me. these guys are professionals, they aren’t going to completely let up. unlucky is all.
couldn’t have happened to a more deserving player. Maybe Cheryl Cole put him up to it as payback.
What an idiot
