Just when you think it can't get any more bent...

Best record of any ref for wins in favouring us. Great choice.

He's the Best out there.

Have you a source for that mate?

Since the sickswan he's reffed us 18 times in the league, we've won 7 drawn 5 and lost 6.

Him and probably 95% of blues.

Certainly not those with their head stuck up their arse, or phantom blues

Someone put the stats up the other day of our record in games officiated by him since the 6-1. Think we've lost 6 times since with him as ref.

He was in charge of those two absurd games against Spurs last season as well when they scored 4 illegitimate goals in 2 games down to refereeing "mistakes".

Most of them weren't Clattebburg though, they were the linesmen. Why do refs get celebrity status and not the linesmen?

The trouble is clattenburg has shown with his flawless refereeing of the euros and champions league that he is a good ref which only highlights the glaring errors he makes in the premier league which can only be intended.

 

[squirtyflower]

The usual suspects out quickly to defend him I see.

They're far too transparent in their 'objectivity'

Last time I checked with transfer market. Only Arsenal have more wins than us with him in charge.

 

[HelloCity]

Reminds me of old WWE when Vince McMahon would make himself the referee to go to the greatest of lengths to stop Steve Austin from winning.

Over the top comical.

The man is a fucking twat

 

[BerkshireBlue]

The Spurs away goals were mostly the linesman but the handball against Sterling where he just guessed that it was a penalty wasn't and he was 100% wrong. I don't want refs guessing at decisions that is completely against the rules.

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

I think he is one of the better refs in the league (not saying much) he seems to have got over trying to be the centre of attention every game like he used to be (I think the issues with Chelsea partly to do with that). I happen to agree that most of the issues last season (bar the handball on Sterling vs Spurs) were the linos letting him down, how is he supposed to see 2 dodgy offsides stood in the middle of the pitch?

Lets see how he does before finding him guilty of corruption is my opinion. Guess I am in the minority.

Edit: he has got a very punchable face though
