Delia was bending Moss's ear all game then gave hin a gentle reminder about the way it should be reffed
Delia even patted Moss at the final whistle
Obviously congratulating for a job well done
This was the mosr appalling example of bias I have seen in a long while

It is not that long since Athens

Chester Perry

Sean also said on Sky that Moss changed the way he refereed the game after Spurs backroom staff had a go at him at half time - that is a big thing to say to the media

The bad news I'm back home.

Our league record on my travels this season:

5 wins
3 draws
0 defeats

So I think it'll be 4-1 to Spurs.

you need to be talking us down stronger than that CC for the magic to work - unless all your power has transferred to being away
