Why would they come TBF. They both have a better chance of winning the CL with Leicester than they ever would with us......OK we can triple their wages, I guess.Quote:

Good to hear from Ozil. He's gone up in my estimation. We need more of this from the club.

:doh: Reports say UEFA think BT Sport deal a mistake. Of course it was. Greed really is blinding if they couldn't figure out viewing figures would drop.
Haven't watched any matches live this season, just the occasional highlight show. Can't say I've missed it that much but would probably watch games again if they were back on terrestial. Certainly have no intention of getting BT sport anytime soon.
You know Lawro has never had us down for a defeat this season? Remarkable, given that we've already played Chelsea twice.
Yet another example of how we've flattered to deceive (also exemplifies just how potent his Lawro's voodoo is!)

Don't agree with Wenger there, it's not to suggest that Friend would be biased but you cannot take the risk of allegations of impropriety. If Spurs lose and Leicester win, than basically the title could be won next weekend. And you don't want question marks surrounding that situation.
The fact that he comments on it at all, suggests he wants Leicester to win the title mainly because he knows the stick he will get if Spurs win the title that and obviously his aim is now second place.
I agree with Wenger on this one. A few others have said similar. It's a dangerous precedent and just calls into question the integrity of the whole process. Why stop at this one game? What about other games and other refs?
I think the most essential quality of a referee is impartiality, and if there is any tangible way that can be called into question than it creates a problem.
Why shouldn't it set a precedent?. If you are attending a game in anything other than in your capacity as a referee than there is cause to ask what are you doing there.
If we knew Kevin Friend was a Leicester fan there would be no question of him being allowed to officiate a game where the result could have repurcussions on Leicester City, every decision would be under the microscope.
I'm sure this isn't Friend's first game. He was the ref for our game against Bournemouth in February just before we beat Leicester City and he was ref for a Spurs game recently. Why start looking at this one game? What about other refs?

The FA ask refs who they support so they already know. It's just not common knowledge to the fans. If anything, there should be a rule that refs can't be seen going to games of the club they support.
All he said was he admired Leicester. Don't we all (except Maccy)?Quote:
