Perhaps the Premier League might like to take a swift glance at the televised match between Wigan and Spurs on January 11th 2009 as both the BBC and a journalist at a British broadsheet have been in contact over this allegedly fixed game.
With the score at 0-0 shortly after half-time, Heurelho Gomes strained his hamstring taking a goalkick and made it quite clear that his movement was severely restricted and that he wished to be substituted.
Harry Redknapp, the Spurs manager, despite having a Spanish international goalkeeper on the bench decided to persist instead with the hobbling Heurelho.
Tottenham were then placed on the back foot with the outfield players being forced to compensate for the keeper.
Rather than barking out instructions on how to defend a point, Redknapp spent considerable time during the second half on his mobile phone.
His face when Wigan secured their 90th minute winner was a wobble to behold.
Obviously, Harry was merely ensuring that his missus had fed Rosie the Dog...
... but, if this was the case, why did he insist on covering his mouth with his hand during every conversation?
And anyway, in RedknappWorld, there is feeding Rosie the Dog and there is feeding Rosie the Dog.
