Mark Clattenburg

we did not lose ok should have been 3 points shows how far we have come if we are pick holes out a away game to arsenal yes the ref did make a show of himself but we should have scored when dzeko pulled out when the keeper rushed out and the ball hit the post

calling Clattenburg bent is a dodgy thing to do and we should be bigger than that ok he may have had a bad game but before the kick off 90% of man city fans would have took the draw

If it looks like a sausage, and smells like a sausage, and tastes like a sausage it's probably a sausage. I have no problem with anyone calling Clattenburg bent, I've been pretty sure of it for years.

Was Arsenal Versus Manchester City Fixed?

Arsenal have suffered repeatedly from a refereeing bias against their interests in the Premier League over the last decade. Year after year the Londoners are at the bottom of the hierarchy when the tilt in match decisions is assessed.
These biases don't even out over a season or over time.
Wenger is aware of these machinations.

But Saturday's match between Arsenal and Manchester City perfectly demonstrated the critical need for the implementation of video technology and the option of managers challenging refereeing decisions.

This match saw some very very suspicious betting patterns in the 90 minutes leading up to kick off.
For the people behind this trading, the gamble was landed as the match was drawn.

But, in reality, the match should have been a victory for the Mancunians - there were evident fouls leading up to both of Arsenal's goals and City should have been given a penalty for Jack Wilshere's handball.
2-2 becomes 0-3.

The inability of Mark Clattenburg, his assistants and 4th Official Jonathan Moss to correctly call these incidents made the game a spectacular farce - great to watch but nothing to do with the integrity of the game and with insiders making considerable money into the bargain.

Hearing that poisoned dwarf Danny Murphy defending the officials on Match of the Day would have had more resonance if Murphy wasn't linked with Moss via professional gambling football agent John Colquhoun.

Arsenal have been denied titles in recent years due to the actions of the PGMOL refereeing body and nothing in this post suggests any wrongdoing on their behalf.

But it is disturbing to be in agreement (for the very first time) with Sepp Blatter, managers must be able to challenge erroneous and not-so-erroneous decisions.
Otherwise football is just greyhound racing with coloured boots.

Mrs Vienna has just shown me a picture on Facebook on Clattenbent and Wilshere from post-match yesterday, laughing with each other and so close, anyone would think they're lovers.

Wankers, the pair of them!

I'm struggling to put these two wankers in order of wankerism!

He's a rag. It was him who had Chelsea down to 9 men against Utd 2 seasons ago.

Was that him that sent torres off for diving and then gave the scum 2 penalties?

In the season we beat the rags 1-6 and looked like running away with the league, we came unstuck against Chelsea at their place thanks to an incredibly partial refereeing display. Now what was the name of that referee?

He also famously refused to give Spurs that goal at Old Trafford when Roy Carroll chucked it in his own net

This strutting peacock of a man is always likely to give a controversial decision as it puts him firmly in the limelight, exactly where he wants to be. I shudder everytime we are given him for one of our games. Whoever our opponents are, my expectations of victory always diminish when he is foisted on us. The only other ref I despise this much - now that twat Peter Walton has retired - is Lee Mason.
Don't know what the stats are but thought I saw some table of refs and win % on here some time ago. Wouldn't mind another look at those stats if anyone knows where to find them.

I trust you are using this naming word as loosely as you can?

I cannot think of one referee who does not fill me with some element of dread as soon as I open the programme - FatPhil, Crappenberg, The Time Lord, Charlie Foy, The Boy Attwood, Lee Cuffing Mason, Andre SailorBoy, et al. I long for a Euro match - and then we get one of the cnuts we had from the last three seasons who blatantly rob us of a goal or stitch us up with a fictitious pen.

Mike Dean.

I have often thought he has made mistakes, I have never thought he was dishonest.

Can't say that about Mason or Clattenberg.

If he is not bent then he is incredibly poor as a Referee. Lots of really poor decisions against City over the years.

There is not one ref that is any good, the best one, Webb, has just retired.

Funny thing about Clattenburg is that often he will look very very good for a while then he has a truly atrocious game

Just saying like
