All in due time my friend.
Such a child.
Why are they digging into his personal life? Fucking horrible and hardly relevant.
That's a good thing.
He's injured.
That's a good thing.
Oui.
An ex damaging his car hardly reflects badly on him. And a liking for sportscars, nice clothes and hair-gel does not make a man dissolute.
And how did his car getting trashed "make headlines" ? Newcastle, what the fuck.

Local papers are total dogshit.
You'd have to be some kind of mentally unstable, crazy man, to say those things, as a referee, in football, with the current situation regarding racism.
You'd have to be some kind of massive cunt to make it up, though. Mata's not a cunt. Mikel is a bit, but I think he takes racism seriously, as far as I know he refused to give a statement supporting Terry in court despite being the closest player to him on the pitch.

Mata didn't hear Clattenburg say anything according to Romeu.
Mark Hughes will go to his grave angry and thinking he should still be City manager.

Skysports quoted Romeu speaking to a Spanish radio station saying that neither Mata nor Torres heard anything.
edit: I should clarify for the sake of you-know-who that this obviously doesn't mean nothing was said. Only that Mata did not hear what was allegedly said and therefore he clearly didn't make anything up.
edit 2: beaten anyway
edit 3: you might want to include a reference for that last bit as well!
That suggests to me he heard exactly what Terry said and rather than drop him in it for being a racist he kept his mouth shut.
Yeah it was mentioned somewhere early on that Mata wasn't present when the alleged "Spanish twat" thing was mentioned.
I get the impression that it would take a truly spectacular provocation to get Mata involved in non-footballing affairs during a match. He just seems incredibly focused. He does complain when he doesn't get decisions (like every footballer over the age of 20, ever), but he never makes a big fuss just throws his hands up in frustration.
Mata is just a superb pro. To be honest Hazard has been pretty well behaved as well, he just gets on with it. Oscar is the one who can be a niggly little twat sometimes.

The way Mario takes penalties...damn it's mesmerising.

Copenhagens backup keepers first game after our first choice keeper (Wiland) got injuried yesterday. What a brilliant start to the 3 months we have to suffer with him
Guess I missed the mesmerizing part.

Sinclair looks like he's there because he won a competition. It was such a bad move for him.
His attempt to get back in position after giving the ball away is mesmerizing. What a lazy fuck.
Liverpool have been trying to sign him for a while. The only reason he hasn't joined is because he thinks his development would be better served staying in the Finnish league where he's guaranteed games. Don't know if we'll go back in for him, but based on today's article in the Mirror, he definitely wants the move now.
FA Cup!!

No way he said this or anything near that charged in this climate. If he did, he's a colossal idiot. I'll believe it if I see video.
Honestly think this could backfire for Chelsea... whole Referee cabal could start giving them short shrift
He seemed to really enjoy his time at Wolves, he's always posting support for them on his Twitter account when they play.

I do find it hard to believe Clattenburg called Mikel a monkey but I find it even harder to believe Chelsea would just make that up out of thin air.
Question has to be asked though, if you hear something like that on the pitch why not make an issue of it there and then. I would.

I was not a fan of the move in general but it is what it is. It's weird, not only does he seem totally outclassed by everyone else on the team, but he makes you wonder how he did so well at Swansea.Who knows, maybe something will click. You'd like to think he could at least be a decent squad player. AJ at least provided that.

I'd be interested in seeing Frimpong at Aston Villa for a bit. We could use the defensive cover I think.
Ah, so he just has to wait another two months. Poor sod.

Is it me or do SkySports have a rule that their female presenters must be a certain cup size and show cleavage
Shame he choose Ghana over England.

I agree. Clatternburg, and refs in general, seem always calm and collective. You rarely ever see them demonstrate any anger on their face. The idea that he would call a black player that is harder to believe than, say, if it were another player on the pitch who said it. Then again I cant imagine Mikel making it up. No way.

No, they are not, but they all hear each other.
I doubt it, but they probably will be after all this shit is said and done.

With regard to the Mata insult in particular, it could be a case of someone mishearing him or a player being vindictive and stirring things up -- Oriol Romeu was on the bench and he's said this:
Neither Juan nor Fernando [Torres] told me they heard it because from what I have understood they didnt hear anything, said Romeu. It was someone else who heard it, but not directly at them. It was another player who heard it and that is what they told me."
