Kalou was soooooo offside

Today was a lazy day, filled with soccer on television and reading my Faron Young book.
I work tomorrow, so it was nice to have no obligations today.
This morning, I watched live on TV as Chelsea defeated Newcastle, 2-1, in the Premier League. The picture above either shows a Nicky Butt goal or a Wayne Bridge own goal -- a goals panel needs to decide. Whoever scored it, the outcome was a goal for the Toon (a nickname for Newcastle in the local Geordie dialect -- it's their pronunciation of "town").
The winner was even more controversial: Saloman Kalou seemed to be several yards offside when he pounced on a ball and sent it into the net for Chelsea in the 87th minute.
It seemed a shame for Newcastle to lose in that way.
I also watched live as visiting Arsenal beat Everton, 4-1, to move back on top of the league table. Brazilian-born Croatian (?!) Eduardo scored twice for Arsenal.
