Thankfully the right result happened yesterday but having been victims of the bias refereeing at WHL last season I can relate to the frustrations Norwich fans must have felt.
Arsenal were victims in October when Van Der Vaart was seemingly allowed to juggle the ball before kicking it in the net (perhaps assuming the ref had blown his whistle). And inexplicably a penalty was awarded to Spurs when Bale attempted a five star frog splash which could have cost Arsenal
Liverpool with some harsh dismissals as well. Thankfully the right call was made when they played United. WHL is however slowly gaining the same reputation for dodgy officiating as Old Trafford. On that display, I don't give Blackburn a prayer when they play them, same with Fulham.
Maybe a ploy by the FA to get in bed with Arry but if you ask me the refereeing at WHL and favouritism shown towards Spurs is notable.
The only game where justice was perhaps carried out was in the Stoke game where Kaboul was rightly sent off for continually kicking lumps out of Stoke players whilst Stoke were trying to get it on the deck and play football, Adebayor was wrongly called offside but by then Stoke's GK had stopped playing. It didn't quite atone for the penalty Spurs got for the Modric dive.
Let's just hope we get a fair ref against Spurs on Sunday and reach the FA Cup Final. I am sure we can do it, just a slight observation and concern I had. I'm sure RDM will drill this into the players and warn our players about Bale. Kaboul may be out which is a lift, no player wants to play with somebody like that hacking you down every second, especially with Barca round the corner.
COYB!
