Can you believe that they didn't give that goal?
I'm a Manchester United fan, but even I cannot deny that Spurs deserved to win.
Anyway the title is Chelsea's now so what do I care?
Roy Carroll and the biggest blunder ever

Football madness at its best. And from the perspective of an Arsenal fan, intensly amusing. Spurs cheated out of their points, Man. Utd. humiliated, neither gaining any ground on us. It's just a shame we didn't win our match, or it would have been a rather good day overall.
As for the title, that's far from decided yet. They were fortunate not to drop points against Liverpool (Premiership referees sponsored by Fly Emirates, a coincidence? I think not) and were almost held to a draw by Portsmouth. Not to mention that the transfer window will be bound to shake things up a bit. It's difficult to deny that Chelsea are looking strong, but they're by no means unbeatable.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
Premiership League standings appear in my newspaper ever Saturday. One day, I actually read them. Can't remember what they said.

If that incedent had happened against any other team than Man Utd, I bet the goal would have been given.
I tell you something. I've had just about as much as I can take of shoddy refereeing involving the top three. I have lost count of the amount of times smaller teams have been cheated out of points by poor decisions against them when playing Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea and I would be more than supportive of goal line video replays to assist the ref.
"I would have had to have been faster than Linford Christie to keep up with play" was the response of the linesman in the Man Utd v Spurs game and he was in support of a video replay trial run, as were both managers. Of course however much it hurt to be robbed by Chelsea on New Years Day, I think goal line replays should be the limit, if the referees just opened their eyes for a change they might notice blatant handballs in the box. There was another on New Years Day involving Bolton I think. Just as blatant. Defenders have got no right to leave their arms up when jumping and MY GOD, they certainly don't have the right to punch the ball off Antonio Nunez's head. If Tiago's handball was at the other end I have no doubt the ref would have given a goal because Mike Riley is a useless piece of crap who has absolutely no grasp on the game of football and is being paid off by Fly Emirates and Vodafone to make Man Utd and Chelsea games easier for them to win. To say I was irate on New Years Day is an understatement. The fact that I had a brutal hangover was not helped by Makelele wrestling Sinama to the floor in the box and the ref giving a free kick AGAINST Sinama. Ridiculous. Anyway between Tiago handballing, Pires diving and Man Utd regularly profiting from dodgy refereeing, I'm fed up. Most of all I'm fed up with Mike Riley, he loves Man Utd and he hates Liverpool, come to think of it I'm not a big fan of Thierry Henry's best mate Graham Poll, he might as well have been inviting Henry and his girlfriend round for dinner when he allowed him to take that free kick early against Chelsea, not against the rules but Poll's conduct was questionable. And what about that Mark "Penalty, oh no wait it's not" Halsey. Do they have a referee school, because if they do it needs to be knocked down and rebuilt by me. I'll show them how to referee a game properly.
Isn't it ironic that Football Referees are sponsored by Specsavers. Oh yes, it's true.
I'm done ranting now. It's not been a good week for referees.
don't forget Lampard broke alonso's ankle putting him out for three months, at the rate we're losing players i'll be playing for Liverpool soon.

Or worse Salif Diao, will have to play.
LOL, that was just like something Barthez would do and was obviously a goal,even the fans in the back row could tell. It was class but just prooves a point that ref's are bias towards man utd and i honestly believe that because one ref (maybe mike reilly) reffed 9 man u games and awarded man u 9 penalties.(not that i can skit being a Leeds Utd fan)
I know the general feeling is that referees are biased towards the big 3, but dodgy refereing goes on from the Premiership down to Sunday league football, it's just highlighted more in Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea's cases.
But on the other hand I have little doubt that if it had been Paul Robinson (however unlikely that would be) who had made the mistake, Manchester United would have been given the goal.
I don't think it's that they are biased, its just some refs are bottlers. They chicken out of making decisions against the big clubs because of the extra stress it may put them under.
EDIT: Salif Diao wasn't too bad against Chelsea the other day. Still....god forbid he gets a run in the team. I may have to change my sig.
Doc prehaps you were too hung over on new years day because diao didn't play against chelsea.

No you're right he didn't. Who came on for Xabi Alonso? Ah Nunez. Ok he was ok in the last game he played. Not too many mistakes. Would rather see Biscan get a run in the team now Alonso is injured though.
Biscan deserves a run in the team, he doesn't get enough chances.
By the way, did anyone see the interview with Frank Lampard after the Liverpool vs Chelsea game, he looked really akward apologising to Alonso.
Well I imagine he was pressed into it. He isn't a malicious player and didn't mean to do it. It happens in football he shouldn't have to apologise but he does because he is Frank Lampard.
Yeah, you'd like that wouldn't you. What with Liverpool v Man Utd coming up. Pah.Biscan deserves a run in the team, he doesn't get enough chances.
