Former Newcastle United FC manager Graeme Souness, has stood by his controvertial 'man's game' comment, insisting that he doesn't regret a single word made after the feisty Chelsea and Spurs fixture on Sunday (14 August).
Souness found himself faced with backlash from viewers of Sky Sports' Super Sunday showing at Stamford Bridge, which was also full to the brim with contentious incidents - including melee on the touchline with managers Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte clashing over a handshake.
And while Tuchel was furious with referee Anthony Taylor for his decision-making throughout the game itself, Souness praised the official for letting the London derby flow uninterrupted. The former Liverpool midfielder, said: “Referees are letting a lot more go and it allows for a better watch.
