Hope he don't get too popular, singing that name would be tough.
We had enough trouble singing "we're top of the league"
Remember that?

Here's the complete article QPR director Ruben Emir Gnanalingam calls referee 'blind and bias' after Joey Barton sent off against Norwich Queens Park Rangers director Ruben Emir Gnanalingam could face Football Association action for describing Premier League referees as “biased and blind” on Twitter after the dismissal of Joey Barton during the 2-1 defeat by Norwich. Bradley Johnson and Joey Barton - Queens Park Rangers director Ruben Emir Gnanalingam calls referee 'blind and bias' after Joey Barton is sent off against Norwich Boiling point: Bradley Johnson and Joey Barton clash at Loftus Road Photo: GETTY IMAGES Jonathan Liew By Jonathan Liew 6:30AM GMT 03 Jan 2012 CommentsComment Gnanalingam, who joined the club’s board of directors in August, where he sits alongside chairman Tony Fernandes, posted his tweet just after Barton’s sending-off for an apparent butt on Norwich's Bradley Johnson. “F------ EPL refs are a big load of b-------!” he wrote. “Biased and blind. Thank you for spoiling the game.” Gnanalingam, a Malaysian businessman who is the chief executive of one of the country’s biggest ports, Westports Malaysia, deleted the tweet within minutes. It is not known how many of his Twitter followers would have seen it. After the game he sent a tweet to Barton, saying: “We are behind you all the way. Get the lads to keep their heads up and minds focused on the next game. Great goal by the way”. Gnanalingam’s earlier tweet could land him in trouble, given that this would not be the first time a QPR director has attracted the FA’s attention with a tweet about referees. In September, after Michael Oliver awarded Aston Villa a penalty during a 1-1 draw at Loftus Road, Fernandes tweeted: “The ref is blind. Two clear handballs”. www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/queens-park-rangers/8988707/QPR-director-Ruben-Emir-Gnanalingam-calls-referee-blind-and-bias-after-Joey-Barton-sent-off-against-Norwich.html |

If he was Ferguson, he'd get away with saying that.
