IMO he certainly does, he has been here long enough now to understand how much we despise the red cnuts and how much it does mean to the fans! He does tend to underplay it and i believe its an attempt to take the pressure off the players a little and not let them get embroiled into the frenzy, that we get ourselves whipped up into as fans.
I seem to recall him doing the same with the 'El Classico' game in his time at Barca....
Lololololol, stitch up is guarnteed

Hopefully history will repeat itself!!!Last one I can think of was back in January 2006. We beat them 3-1. Ronaldo was sent off and Evra made his debut and Sinclair absolutely owed him

He doesn’t see it as anything other than another game, no reason why he should really. It doesn’t bother me like it used to when we didn’t win anything.He doesn't.
In all fairness to Mr Oliver, he refereed our game at Stamford Bridge brilliantly.
