Peter ‘Has is own climate’ Crouch, has held is hands up and admitted the frustration got the better of him after histwo-footed challenge on Obi Mikel in the disappointing 2-0 Carling Cup Quarter-Final defeat at the hands of the Chavs at the ‘bridge on Wednesday evening.

“Mikel came in with his studs up and that was in the back of my mind, then I thought there was another foul in there and obviously I’ve lost my head.” said the gigantic hitman.

“There are no excuses for the tackle I made but if the referee had pulled the foul up when he should have done it wouldn’t have happened.

“A lot was going their way and I think frustration got the better of me. You give and take with referees and sometimes the decisions go for you and sometimes they don’t so you can’t always blame them.”

“What I’m thinking is if you go in on Frank Lampard or John Terry would they roll around like Obi Mikel did? I don’t think they would have done,”.

“Would someone like Carra have gone down like that? I think it’s safe to say that he wouldn’t.” he added.

“Foreign players have brought a lot to our game but that’s something you don’t want to see. I didn’t catch him but he’s gone down like he’s been shot.

“It’s frustrating because I thought we played okay as a team and obviously it was always going to be difficult from the moment I was sent off.”
