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.

Footballs just not been the same since he retired.

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