Martin Atkinson to ref spurs v scum game

[mancunial]

The cop out for the time added on added on time derby was the pits, the amount of people the day after making excuses for what was a corrupt refereeing was moronic, he deliberately put united on the front foot when Carlos was barged in the back by I think carrick but awarded them the free kick, shithouse decision by a shithouse official.

It was laughable at the time the length some people went to, just to justify the deicion. Yet all the reasons why he added 7 not 4 on only seemed to be upheld for that 1 game and never seen again

your right H B on the Monday they brought out all the usual suspects, looking for any loophole to justify it, it wasn't the double added time what really did me it was atkinsons decision to put the red shite on the front foot, a more corrupt 7 minutes on a football pitch I have ever to witness, if I ever bump
Into Atkinson he's having off me verbally, the sight of my youngest son and his mate in tears will live with me forever, also that dirty bullying manager of theirs jumping up and down at the city fans pretending it wasn't corrupt made me want to puke, yes they both have a lot to answer for Atkinson and ferguson.

All we can do is beat Bolton & put the pressure on. Im expecting no favours whatsoever. We all know there will be a dubious decision, Scum have had a few against Spuds in the past.

Like the "goal" that was 2 meters over the line when Roy Carroll shoveled it out and the ref called play on?

I think tottenham will win this. Backlash from the battering they got off their rivals!

If they're half as good as they and the media have claimed for the past few months, they should at least earn a draw, Parker or no Parker. Harry needs to play Lennon and Bale out-and-out on the wings to spread the play.

Or the 5-2 win where Webb gave a pen for Gomes making a great tackle on Carrick when they was 2-0 down at the swamp.

Who cares?
Concentrate on beating Bolton and let the others get on with whatever they're doing.

The FArce kowtow to certain clubs. Crappenberg only just got to ref an EFC match t'other week after Moyes threatened hell and damnation if he appeared again at Goodison after the Dipper Derby Debacle when St. Jamie of Carragher hauled down Jole less than a minute after CrapMan gave the Dippers a winning pen. He made his reappearance at an EFC away fixture! Atkinson is the same. Feed 'em back in to an away fixture, a suitable time period having elapsed, and it will show that they do not take orders from belligerent Scots! Spineless!

Clubs should not have the same ref until they have had all the others available. We seem to get the incompetents just too frequently!

To be fair Chris 'Clueless' Foy won't ref a match of ours until next season at least and that will be away from home. He will get dogs abuse either way though, so I'm content.

Or Tarrico making a tackle on Andy Cole? Forget the player, 5 yards outside the box, penalty given and red card.

Or Ronaldo diving in the box and Malbranqe getting booked for it. Ronaldo kicking Dawson and ref smiling about it when normally it would be a red.

Schmeichel sending Armstrong down in a heap, ref has none of it. Probably put off by watching Keane, Stam and co intimindating the ref months earlier

The Spurs twats will lay down and die as usual. They'll go 3 up and end up losing it 5-3.

Didn't think it would take you long to wind your neck in. You're probably going to be cheering on United as usual!

Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United at White Hart Lane on Sunday 4th March 2012 in the 27th round of matches in the 2011-12 season.

Spurs come into the match in 3rd place on 53 points with United one place above Spurs in 2nd place on 61 points.

It will be the 181st meeting between the two clubs who were the "glamour teams" of the 1960s.

Tottenham Hotspur's first meeting with Manchester United came in the old 1st round (today's 3rd round) of the FA Cup in January 1899 when United were known as Newton Heath. The match was drawn 1-1 at Northumberland Park, but Spurs won the replay 5-3 at Bank Street in Clayton, Manchester.

A decade later the two clubs met for the first time in a Football League match with United drawing 2-2 at White Hart Lane in the First Division.

The reverse fixture at Old Trafford was easilly won by United 5-0.

Tottenham's first League win over United came in November 1911 2-1 at Old Trafford.

Both clubs met for four seasons in the Second Division during the 1930s.

Since the start of football after WW2, all League meetings have taken place in the Top Flight of the English League system.

In 1952, both clubs toured North America and played two exhibition matches with Spurs winning 5-0 in Toronto, Canada and 7-1 in New York, USA.

The clubs were drawn together in the 1963-64 European Cup Winners' Cup with Spurs winning 2-0 at the Lane and United winning 4-1 at Old Trafford.

Old Trafford was the venue for the 1967 FA Charity Shield with League Champions United and FA Cup Winners Spurs drawing 3-3 in a game most remembered for goalkeeper Pat Jennings' long-range goal. The Charity Shield was shared.

August 1979 saw the clubs meet for the first time in the Football League Cup and Glenn Hoddle's magnificent volly was the winning goal in a 2-1 Spurs victory at White Hart Lane. United went on to win the second leg at Old Trafford 3-1.

In June 1983, the clubs played two matches in Swaziland, Southern Africa, resulting in a win each.

The clubs have only ever met in one Domestic Cup Final - the 2009 Football League (Carling) Cup Final at Wembley, which ended in a 0-0 draw after extra time. United won the subsequent penalty shoot-out.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were founder members of the Premier League in 1992-93 and are two of the seven clubs who have been ever-present up to the 2011-12 season - Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton and Liverpool being the other five.

The fixtures during season 2010-11 saw United win 2-0 at Old Trafford in October while the reverse match at White Hart Lane ended in a 0-0 draw.

2010-11 was the first season when both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur competed together in the UEFA Champions League. Both clubs won their respective Group Stages and progressed to the Knock-Out Phase. Spurs eventually went out to Real Madrid in the Quarter Finals while Manchester United made it to the Final, only to lose to Barcelona.

The reverse fixture at Old Trafford earlier this season in August resulted in a 3-0 win for United with goals from Danny Welbeck, who headed in Tom Cleverley's cross just after 60 minutes and he then produced a wonderful instinctive flick to set up a second for Anderson. Wayne Rooney scored with a pinpoint late header from Ryan Giggs's centre.

Spurs signed former United striker Louis Saha during the January transfer window and he has scored three Premier League goals in his three matches in Tottenham's colours.

Overall, United have a very good record over Spurs with 85 wins to 49 with 46 of the 180 matches played so far drawn.

Tottenham's win percentage in all matches against United is 27.22%, while United's win percentage against Spurs is 47.22%.

Will be a typical Spurs Rag bottle job. They may feign effort in the beginning, but Bale will be invisible for 90 minutes and they'll give up when it counts. 0-3 Rags, with a beaming hand shake from 'Arry at the end.
