No complaints from Bolo

Sunderland's Bolo Zenden would not have complained had Tottenham won a penalty for his tackle on David Bentley.
Zenden slid in on the Spurs' winger in the penalty area and for a moment it seemed that referee Howard Webb would point to the spot, but he opted to book Bentley instead.
The Dutchman feared for a moment that World Cup official Webb would award the spot-kick and he would not have remonstrated had it been given.
However, Zenden believes he put the brakes on in time and that he did not catch Bentley, and that the ex-Blackburn Rovers man still went to ground.
Spurs' match at White Hart Lane finished in a 1-1 draw after Asamoah Gyan cancelled out Rafael van der Vaart's opener and Harry Redknapp was furious his side were not awarded the penalty.
"If the ref had given it, I don't think I would have complained that much," said Zenden.
"It could have gone both ways. If you're on Tottenham's side, you would be complaining.
"We got away with it but I have to insist as I went in I pulled my leg back and he still went down."
