Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport For clarity, the complaint from #saintsfc re Mark Clattenburg has come from the club & has not been initiated or driven by Adam Lallana Feeling Blue ‏@Pompey_BAWA @bigadamsport bull****! He had to have logged a complaint. #SomeOnesTellingPorkies Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport @Pompey_BAWA @Lord_Palmerston why?More likely manager/chairman talk to him about handball incident & he tells them what was said & they act Stuart Crow ‏@Lord_Palmerston @bigadamsport @Pompey_BAWA They must have asked AL if he felt insulted by remark before proceeding though? Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport @Lord_Palmerston @Pompey_BAWA they may have done , but I just think it's club venting frustrations at not getting decisions Dave Badger ‏@DaveBadger32m @Lord_Palmerston @bigadamsport @Pompey_BAWA Get out of Corteses backside Blackmore.

Or maybe it'll blow over as quickly as the Hodgson "space monkey" furore...?

Paddy Power ‏@paddypower #ThingsThatUpsetAdamLallana When there's unidentified items in the bagging area.

Depends what the club's aim was/is I guess. Maybe it was just a "don't mess with us" shot across the bows, although seems odd to put Lallana in the firing line (given he's largely a kind of private person) if that is indeed all Clattenburg said.

Ben Rumsby ‏@ben_rumsby Apparently, Clattenburg said to Lallana: “You’re very different now since you played for England. You never used to be like this.” Trousers ‏@Lord_Trousers @ben_rumsby Why only "apparently"? Ben Rumsby ‏@ben_rumsby @Lord_Trousers Because that is one version of events. Still waiting to hear whether Southampton/Lallana dispute it. Trousers ‏@Lord_Trousers @ben_rumsby Cheers. So that quote was 'leaked' directly by the PGMOL then?

I'm rather hoping it doesn't mean that. Should be excellent entertainment value when he next refs a Saints game

Neither really. Will be happy if we win the thing but not that fussed if we don't. Will probably go to one or two home ties along the way and the final if we get there.

Given the PGMOL statement doesn't specify what Clattenburg is alleged to have said, where has the quote 'leaked' from?

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport I understand #saintsfc aren't in the mood to accept decision from PGMOL and are likely to pursue this further

Ben Smith ‏@BenSmithBBC #SaintsFC unlikely to drop their complaint though

Portsmouth FC ‏@officialpompey #Pompey's match against Accrington has been postponed because of a waterlogged pitch

Ah, gotcha. Cushtie

Indeed. In the same way you wouldn't expect a teacher to react in the same way as a pupil. Ye olde "two wrongs don't make a right"...

Make that 10/10

Bite potential rating 8.5/10

Del Boy? (sorry if obvious....slow brain day here today...)
