So the big story that will be blown out of proportion from United’s 2-1 victory over Newcastle is the war of words at halftime between <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/tempers-flare-as-united-strengthen-grip-on-title-1637852.html" target="_blank">Cristiano Ronaldo and Stephen Taylor</a>. Nothing too serious, Ronaldo calling Taylor a rubbish footballer and Taylor in grand reply going ‘well you are ugly’ like some high school girl would say to another in the middle of a junior high spat. Why this is a story I’ll never know.
So the League Managers’ Association and the Professional Footballers’ Association have got together to come up with some recommendations about referees. I have to say some of the recommendations aren’t all bad. The main ones include setting up a way of formalizing complaints and feedback between club and ref, and having the top two divisions use licensed referees with video analysis after every game. You can read the rest of the things recommended <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=624550&amp;sec=england&amp;campaign=rss&amp;source=soccernet&amp;cc=5901" target="_blank">here</a>.
Harry Redknapp is telling his Spurs players to <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1159153/Win-lose-booze-Redknapp-lays-law-Spurs.html?ITO=1490" target="_blank">lay off the booze</a>, even if they stay in the top flight. I wonder if that comes with random BAC checks?
Who would have thought it would be <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/beatties-hot-streak-stokes-potters-fight-for-survival-1637843.html" target="_blank">James Beattie</a> heading Stoke City’s fight for survival?
Fulham are opening up contract talks with <a href="http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,1765_5003998,00.html" target="_blank">Brede Hangleand</a> to make sure he stays a Cottager. Good idea.
Here’s the latest red top Manchester City fodder. Spending 100 million quid to sign Messi in the summer. Remember the source on this one folks.
Thank you <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article2292647.ece?OTC-RSS&amp;ATTR=Football" target="_blank">Jose Mourinho</a> for stating the bloody obvious when you say Manchester United will win the title.
West Ham will be without the services of <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=624566&amp;sec=england&amp;campaign=rss&amp;source=soccernet&amp;cc=5901" target="_blank">Valon Behrami</a> for the rest of the season.
And finally, <a href="http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5007225,00.html" target="_blank">Gianfranco Zola</a> and <a href="http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5007183,00.html" target="_blank">Steve Bruce</a> have two totally different observations about the refereeing of Stuart Attwell. One backs him, the other says he’s not ready. I’ll let you figure out which one said what.
