The allegations being made, according to the Daily Telegraph, was that he refered to Mikel as a monkey and Matta as a Spanish t**t.

Ha, I wonder if he'll deploy the "Harbhajan" defence. For monkey/maaki read monkey/Mikel.

Clattenburg's a Geordie (well, plastic Geordie) I believe; not a region known for the clarity of its diction.

Arsenal playing the kids? Getting absolutely destroyed by Reading, aws, by all accounts - 3-0 after 20 minutes.

Incredible, don't think it was over the line, but should have been a pen for hand-ball, and went in after, bit of drama.

That sub was stupid by Reading, just sticks time at the end.

Yeah it was funny when the new replay angle showed that it probably didn't cross the line in the middle of the commentator absolutely tearing into the linesman for not giving it.

Did a few hour shift in the pub, finished at HT, decided not to stay as I just knew there'd be no more goals in it.....

I'm definitely becoming more of a curmudgeon in my old age - been plenty of talk this evening about feeling sorry for Reading. Personally I can't bring myself to feel any sympathy whatsoever for a team who go 4-0 up and lose. At home.

I will feel sorry for the fans though - Fertang must be on suicide watch about now.

LOL Arsenal. Just finished watching the highlights, crazy.

What do the rules say about this nowadays? I always thought that referees were entitled to wave a card at them for dissent / downright abuse but just don't have the balls to do it. Is that still the case?
I've played a game when a player has been booked just for swearing after losing the ball. It's ridiculous the kinda language you see players using to the referees sometimes.

Never seen a game like it. Amazing stuff, although our backup defence aren't much to be pleased about. One of those games where you know why you love and hate this Arsenal team.

Chelsea's extra class on the pitch telling in the end. A shame, particularly as we've gifted it to them with a couple of shocking defensive errors from one of our youngsters. Still, has been a hell of an effort by United's 2nd/3rd string against a Chelsea side not far from their strongest available.

Yeah 5-4, poor effort.

That pass for the Chelsea bloody magnificent though, and Oscar is going to be ridiculously good.

Cahill and Luiz still look fairly useless though.

Yeah, that Mata-Oscar-Hazard trio is hella ***y. Wasn't sure they'd all work together but fair to say they're doing a decent job so far.
