This is what 'arry had to say after todays game ......

'We've come away with nothing because there was a blatant handball on the line and Adebayor is two yards onside when the ball is played to him,'

'That's why we've come away with nothing, two decisions have been completely and utterly wrong. I spoke to the referee after the game. I never go and speak to referees after the game, I accept defeat and have never complained about refereeing decisions in 30 years of managing. Never.

'But today he got some badly wrong. When he goes home tonight and sees them he'll know he's made a couple of terrible decisions. The linesman, he'll watch it tonight, when his wife's making him a bacon sandwich and he'll think: 'F*** me what have I done there today?'

'I thought Younes' second yellow was harsh and the first one he got was for telling the referee it was handball, for something he has missed,'

'What's he supposed to do, not say anything when someone gets something wrong? Do you just accept it? I don't think so.'

HERE'S A FULL LIST 'ARRY

On Howard Webb's decision to turn down penalty appeal against Sunderland in Nov 2010

"I've never been one for criticising referees - it's never been my game - but it was a blatant penalty. If you get the penalty, it could make a big difference."

On Mark Clattenburg's call to allow Nani's controversial goal in 2-0 defeat to stand in Oct 2010

"The whole thing was a farce. It was handball. Nani put his hand on it and dragged it down. Mark Clattenburg is a top referee but he has had a nightmare with that."

On Howard Webb again, for giving Manchester United a controversial penalty at Old Trafford in April 2009

"He’s got a hand on the ball – it was a terrible decision. It was a gift that United didn’t deserve and it put them back in the game. Without that bit of help from the ref, I don’t think United would have come back."

Poor Howard Webb feels Redknapp's fury again for failing to give a penalty for a foul on Robbie Keane against Chelsea in Sept 2009

"It’s a nailed-on penalty. If he felt Robbie dived, why didn’t he give him a yellow or a red card? The penalty decision and Ledley King going off injured, they were the turning points."

On Andy D’Urso’s performance at Wolves in Feb 2008

"I just question the referee’s overall performance which I thought was inept. Every game I see this season has seven or eight bookings. I think it’s frightening."

On Steve Tanner’s display in a 2-0 defeat at West Brom in Dec 2008

"I never walk in after games and complain about a referee but this guy is scary. He’s a poor referee and I’ve seen him make a mess of so many games. He’s really not good enough."


Do us a favour 'arry ..... stop telling porkies everytime you open your mouth.
