First topic message reminder :

Boring game but good result for all the top teams around these two really. Difference between Arsenal winning the league and not is a world class striker, because in tight games like these in the big games a world class striker will finish the chance Giroud had. He's been excellent this season but misses far too many to deliver a title. That's what makes Suarez/Agueor and RVP last season the difference in the end.

Seems consistent to me.

Don't care about young, he's crap. I'm sure januzaj will sort it out.

Booked 3 times for simulation in your first 6 months as a professional footballer is a concern. He's only going to become more of a target now.

That is the mark of hypocrisy ent.
Not consistant in the slightest.

He singles out young early on. Yet doesn't public ally slate junazi or welbeck who are just as bad and then when a decision goes against his team he screams blue murder and states that its the worst decsicion ever.

His players are the problem. If attackers could be trusted the refs could do there jobs.at present its impossible. He talks a lot does Moyes. But that's all. His players are worse than ever .

One of the most ridiculous tackles I've seen. As John says the FA will surely look more into it

I am seriously worried by the amount of people here that think Young going over Lloris was a stone wall penalty. Is this not a contact sport? Lloris didn't move any part towards Young. The contact was made from a little thing called gravity. You may have heard of it. If that's a stone wall penalty these days I finally give up.

What? How is it not a foul of Lloris throws himself at someone and makes contact. Gravity or not, he makes contact. More importantly, Young had to hurdle him to not get destroyed, which further makes it a foul.

But he doesn't "throw" himself at Young. He makes a legitimate play for the ball and there's a coming together. End of.

Most fouls are a legitimate attempt to get the ball. They dont do such, they miss, they foul the counterpart. Its not a crime, its a foul.

It was a 100% stone wall penalty with or without contact.

You cant raise your studs.

If you raise your studs and go for the ball or player, its a foul.

But even still I cant blame the ref. If attacking players are play acting every single game the refs are going to get confused. Its karma

Equally, if refs keep missing obvious penalties then players will feel they have to go down in elaborate manners to get penalties. Vicious circle

I'm not Utd fan and I despise Young, but that's as clear a foul and penalty as you will see.

Ditto.

To his credit, Young has actually tried to hurdle the challenge but failed since Lloris' tackle was massively high.

Agree on Young, anyone who thinks that wasn't a pen is wrong.

I still have a big issue, not really sure why, because I don't support Spurs, but Lloris' continued desire to play sweeper & rush out to basically anything & everything just annoys me. What's wrong with him, does he get bored? Seriously will cost Spurs at least 10 points a season in my opinion.

You say that, but I think about 95% of the time hes got it right, seemingly since that knock on the head his decision making has lacked confidence. A lot of the games I watched of Spurs I always thought he completely saved them by being so aware, just not lately

Probably be a shortage of them in a few years time - get abused all day, p!ss poor pay (I think) and no praise when you do get it right. Make a decision with one look in a split-second, no help from the technology that so easily allows people back home to watch it five times in a minute from various angles and decide whether you're right or not. Referee's right? Nothing mentioned. Referee's wrong? Massive conspiracy.

Job satisfaction? Very little. You get subject to more conspiracies than 9/11 after a big game. Anyone hear the one about how Howard Webb shouldn't of officiated Chelsea-Liverpool cause he's from South Yorkshire, and he might be involved in some shadowy Hillsborough conspiracy? It was doing the rounds on twitter, would you believe?!

Yeah...who'd be a referee today ? They need far greater backing from the powers-that-be.

It was mentioned a few weeks ago on the Sunday Supplement that the top referees will get paid approx £80k a year.

its not bad money- but to be honest probably not enough.

There is a certain amount of risk and unwanted infamy being a ref.

We also need to back them but also demand excellence. And with that should be a premium wage.

They are also like sportsmen in the fact that they have a short career.

You have seen the incident right?

He kicks the ball into the box, then has to hurdle Lloris who's about 15 minutes too late, with his left foot and studs raised in the air about hip height if he's not jumped.

Yes, the FA Cup is a superb competition no matter what Paul Lambert says.

What's everyones thoughts on Southampton saying Clatternburg abused Lalana. From what I've read he hasn't said anything abusive, just that he is different since his England call up.

The Lallana thing is quite funny. If he's offended by that then the world's gone mad. There was a pretty funny hashtag on twitter taking the mick out of him

I love the romance of the cup. If my team was mid table in the Pl or champs I would be hoping for a good showing. But it is pointless in the position we are in.

I do fully believe we need to kill the league cup though. That would make the fa cup a bit more lucrative.

Maybe have another devalued cup that doesn't involve teams from the premier league would be more worthwhile.

The way the pundits were fawning over Tottenham and Adebayor in particular was ridiculous. They haven't been doing that well, the teams they have beaten haven't been massive results, they were teams they were beating under Villas-Boas, even the Manchester United result isn't that good put into the context of United's season so far.

Adebayor is once again playing for a. a new contract or b. a move away and that's why his form has improved, he had earned the permanent move to Spurs already in Villas-Boas' first year so his form cooled off and he was quite poor and Villas-Boas was perfectly justified in dropping him. He has a poor attitude and has caused problems everywhere he has played. The same problems will flare up soon enough.

Think today's game is the real test of Sherwood, think if he goes 4-4-2 he's showing tactical naivety, Arsenal will dominate the game and I think they'll be rolled over if he does.

80k a year is a premium wage, not sure what you are basing your opinion on.

To get a wage above that, in any walk of life you really need to be involved with wealth generation.

The players are. The refs aren't.

I'd dock their wages, they are rubbish and get huge amounts of perks.

No its really not a premium wage at all. Maybe you need to look at a different career if you think it is.



Refs need to be paid more for obvious reasons. They are in the public eye and get rough justice. Yet we need to start expecting excellence from them. And to do that we need to treat them better. There careers are short as well.

The  majority of people that are on 80k a year(sorry actually  all of them/us) arnt in the public eye or being abused by idiots on twitter or forums after trying to do the best job possible.

Think of another job that only pays 80k yet garners that much responsibility!!

Lallana has only proven Clattenburg's point by complaining.

The FA Cup. Well, I love the cup, but I expect to see a rested team tomorrow and would be happy for it. Great for Liverpool this year who have no other commitments, but there will be clubs like West Ham who have big games coming, this squads at the moment and wont take much interest until the 5th round onwards.

Better than the League Cup though, which we won't be taking too seriously on Wednesday and its the Semi-finals.

You have seen the incident right?

He kicks the ball into the box, then has to hurdle Lloris who's about 15 minutes too late, with his left foot and studs raised in the air about hip height if he's not jumped.

Once the ball is gone Lloris pulls his feet and hands down away from Young. Plus, Young's "hurdle" is hardly a great attempt at avoiding contact. He even dangles his foot.

Youngs is a penalty, why does Lloris have his foot that high? He's risking a red card for that kind of challenge, Welbeck and Juanazaj were both shockers, Welbeck in particular.

No. I cant think of one job within the spot light that pays so little.
EWspecially when you should note that even ref's in other sports get the equivalent pay yet arnt in a sport that generates 1000's more !!

It is beyond ridiculous tbh. The pl is the most watched sporting league on planet earth!!


80k is nothing special at all. even the most lazy of people earn 50 plus k in insurance roles etc at there professional peak. Yet that job will last all there life

80k cant even get you a mortgage for a semi in a suburb of London these days.

Anything over £32k a year is a premium wage and referees in other sports should really get more because on the whole they're better at what they do.
