I think City should report Clattenburg's, conduct and performance to the FA for inquiry, which should involve looking into why and for what reason Bellamy was sent off. I think after what was overheard being said in the tunnel, together with the bizarre decisions on the pitch and laughable sending off, City have a pretty strong case here for bias and misconduct here.

At half time, Steve Wigley (Bolton Coach, EX-City) overheard the officials having a conversation in the tunnel just before the second half.

The referee and one of the linesman, not sure which one stood there and one said "what dya think of that" and another said "I told you, i said didn't i, i booked him last season, he's a right bastard", another replied "who's this, Wright Phillips?" and the referee said "No, fucking Bellamy".

The 4th official then said "Tevez is bloody brilliant though, it's a decent game" and a linesman said "yeah he's quality that lad, but where's that other argentinian bloke u we're on about?" and the ref then said "The fuckers on the bench, keep an eye out"

At this point hughes walked past and shook his head, but didn't say anything to them.
