Clattenburg's a prize plum but he had his work cut out after Fabregas was given the platform to gob off before the match.

I thought the title of this was going to be something to get annoyed by but actually he did us a favour in the end. Although if he'd of dished out some early yellows (which should have been given) he would have probably helped the match.

These 'celebrity' refs.

I was introduced to Andre Mariner at a social do once: "Hello, Andre" I said.

His reply? "oh, call me Dre".

I've never forgot about Dre since.

Pretty sure this is match fixing - he went in with a plan to not show any reds - if i'd have known that - a few quid richer i tell ya!

Perfect example of bent refs and match fixing right there. I hope spurs report this and full investigation is started.

Why even bother to raise the matter now....? It's history so who really cares what his 'tactics' were ?.
