Manager Harry Redknapp questions Tottenham fans' booing

 

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has responded to the club's fans after his side were booed off following the 1-1 Premier League draw with Sunderland.

 

Spurs are down to sixth in the table after failing to win in their last four league games, although they beat Inter Milan 3-1 in the Champions League.

 

And Redknapp queried: "What have they got to moan about?

 

"They've seen some of the best football in recent times here, I don't think anyone can be disappointed with us."

 

Redknapp also criticised referee Howard Webb for turning down a penalty appeal and not sending off Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole at White Hart Lane.

 

David Bentley looked like he had been fouled when he tumbled in the Sunderland penalty box during the second half but the Spurs winger was booked instead for diving.

 

"It was a penalty, a blatant penalty," said Redknapp. "How he [Webb] can book him...

 

"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."

 

Cattermole was also shown a yellow card for a challenge on Luka Modric but Redknapp felt the tackle deserved a red one.

 

"It was a bad tackle in my opinion and could have broken his leg easily," said the Spurs boss. "Modric has got some bad marks on his leg but he was lucky he didn't break his leg.

 

"Webb has to understand the difference between going over the top of the ball and playing the ball. It just sounds like I'm criticising him but they were two key decisions that I felt weren't right."

 

Redknapp, missing several players through injury, admitted he was perplexed by the booing at the end of the game, only seven days after their stunning victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League.

 

"Anyone who enjoys watching football has to enjoy how we're playing - I do for sure," he continued. "We're a really good team and we'll go on to be fantastic one.

 

"We couldn't have done any more. We couldn't have tried any harder."

 

And, sarcastically, he added: "They've [the supporters] had it so good over the years, you see. When you keep winning league championships every year, you get upset when you don't win."

I wonder how long its going to take for Cattermole to start getting the type of media grief Barton used to get. One of the top 3 dirtiest players in the league. Managed 2 reds and 4 yellows in 12 games so far, not to mention the red he should have had last night and he could have got one against us too.

He should have gone against Stoke as well (ableit just a handball on the line)

Don't think Cattermole has had a straight red for us (or none that I can remember), he gets sent off for persistent/stupid unneeded fouling. The tackle last night was a bit dodgy but he completely won the ball and Modric went down like he'd been shot. If the tackle was made by someone like Scholes it would have been laughed off as a 'typical Scholes tackle', yet because it was Cattermole he gets slaughtered for it. A yellow was about right IMO. Strange how nothing was made of Van Der Vaart afterwards who grabbed Cattermole by the throat.

to be fair though, Scholes isn't really vicious or aggressive, he's just incapable of putting in a proper tackle. Clattermole is a nasty piece of work (trust me I'm a Newcastle fan, I've seen plenty of thugs pull on our shirt).

If I'm being honest I just think Cattermole is thick as fuck. He doesn't understand when to pull out of a tackle, he'll just slam into them regardless of whether he's going to win the ball or not.

 

The amount of bookings he picks up for little things is ridiculous. His sending off at Wigan was a prime example, 2 yellows in about 5 minutes, and the 2nd yellow you could see coming from a mile away. He ran about 50 yards chasing the player only to mistime the tackle badly and sent Rodellega flying.

How can chelski with all their money not have more centrebacks, they're playing two fullbacks in the middle and they've not surprisingly been utter shit. If Welbeck wasn't a worse finisher than Heskey the mackems would be 3-0 up here!
