Topic: Spurs - First Ten Games 23/24 League Champs

[RyanBabel19]

I thought Jones red card was 50/50 because how bad it looked in slow motion so thats the only one I could possibly understand.

Didnt see the challenge on Gomez

Jota’s second challenge shouldve been his first yellow as the first one was hilarious

Salahs on bissouma was very lucky for bissouma.

The offside didnt need a second look, you can tell live that he was miles on.

There were other incidents, advantages not being played when Liverpool were clean through, referee trembling excitedly as he gave Liverpool players cards.
The whole show was really bad, one of the worst refereed games ive seen in a long time, and it wasnt just var, all the officials were ridiculously bad.

If I can find a way to post the Gomez one I will, it will make you even more baffled about the Van Dijk red

[So… Howard Philips]

I must say though.. although I'm livid, it was class from Richarlison at the end there.
Quite unexpected.

What did he do?

[Crosby Nick]

We signed Stewart who joins the list of Spurs players we signed who were underwhelming- Keane and Ruddock immediately spring to mind.

And all of them scored for Spurs against us before we signed them. Couldn’t sign Sheringham or someone half decent could we?!

dyed his hair back from blond to dark.

Really don’t understand all the spurs fans crying that we got what we deserved because spurs never get the decisions. That Skipp challenge on Diaz and Kane on Robbo all escaped a red card, Luis many other contentious decisions.

And then there was this

I've never seen that before.....I am speechless.

[BER]

Even Tim Vickery acting the tribal twat over this.

[I've been a good boy]

All I remember of Richarlison is him doing that weird neck thing but this time at Klopp, not after scoring a goal.

If it miraculously comes down to City and Spurs for the title, I know for a fact I'll never root for the cheats.

Instead of celebrating madly like the rest, he went over to Matip to console him.

Class!

Crap video, but this mentions it as well:

It is indeed mate. I didn't see who the other players were, but Richarlison took the lead.

From now on every commentator should call him Richerlizen.

It's amazing you actually think that given that up until yesterday we hadn't beaten you in years. We had a penalty given against us for the ball hitting Sissokko in the armpit in the biggest game we've arguably ever had. I don't think I've ever seen a penalty given for a ball hitting an armpit. 

Clearly you have ignored some of the shit the likes of Sir Harold of Kane got away with over the years with his reckless lunges and dangerous backdrop move to try and con refs into a freekick/penalty and in your example that was clearly not his armpit.

[Skeeve]

Out of interest mate, as a fan who supports neither team (granted there will be some anti Spurs bias) what's your opinion on...

Jones red card
The challenge on Gomez in their box
Udogie tripping himself over
Jota red card
Salah being adjudged to have fouled Bissouma
The offside and subsequent explanation from PGMOL

Not to mention several of their players, such as Udogie, continually waving imaginary cards while remaining immune to yellows for doing so.

Tommy W is a good poster who clearly understands the remits if being an opposition fan on here.

He’s not been trolling anyone, so I think it’s reasons that we all talk to him with the courtesy he’s shown to us.

Arguably the second best opposition poster on here.

The first being primativ, natch. followed closely by ScottishGoon.

The yellow for Robertson baffled me. Robertson had his eyes on the ball and went to head it. You could see the Spurs player looking at Robertson and not the ball and then jumping into Robertson (I think he may have also raised his arm but am not sure).

Maybe Robertson was booked for his next tackle but it looked the the first offence was by Porro.

You’ve read Uruguay 36’s posts….

That’s commitment!

It's been said that Richalison is actually sound off the pitch so I'll give him props that that. Leave all the bullshit on the pitch, off it is where it matters more.

JohnnoWhite is also sound. Does anyone know if he’s ok? He hasn’t logged in for a few months.

The discovery that Richarlison is possibly a decent chap is the most depressing part of the whole weekend.

Thankfully Maddison still plays for them!!

Mate, I know you're generally one of the reasonable ones, but give me a break with this.

First of all it was a penalty.

Secondly, even if we go with your take on it, which I don't, then it's unlucky, but you have 90 minutes to score an equaliser and your team did less than absolutely fuck all. You deserved nothing in the 2019 final. Not one person outside of deluded fans was saying Spurs were hard done by to the extent that we were on Saturday.

Thirdly, what does a penalty (that was a penalty, albeit a soft one) four and a half years ago have to do with an endless parade of shite last Saturday?

Fourthly, as others have said, you've had some absolutely ridiculous decisions go for you and against us over the years.

As I said about your manager shooting his mouth off after the game, take your ill-gotten, lucky-as-fuck three points, be grateful for them because they were given as blessings from the football gods, and shut the fuck up about the rest.

[decosabute]

I don't get why people say Spuds are good. They have a good team (not great), and looked nowhere near beating us when we were down to 9 men. They won't make top 4.

Aside from a good 10 minutes straight after Jones' red card, they were poor as fuck. Utterly second best against 11 men, nothing special against 10 (and managed to concede a goal, and it could've been three), and utterly clueless and lacking ideas against nine. I think they've done well so far, but this is the first game I've watched them for 90 minutes and they're half the team we are. They knew it deep down as well.

[killer-heels]

The most bizarre take is the credit they got for keeping on going and attacking until the end. What exactly were they supposed to do?

[So… Howard Philips]

They didn’t attack very well either.

Also, we scored another goal too...
Not because they were pressing in numbers and we caught them on the break, but it was from a corner

And the whole thing about if it would have changed the shape of the game...well yeah, we might not have been as passive after that incident if it wasnt a penalty. so what? reckon the team that secured 95+ points and already beaten them twice that season wouldn't have found another way? foh

[rossipersempre]

So brave against 9 men. Any narrative of 'plucky' Spurs never giving up (the NLD draw being another recent example) is simply a biased attempt to counteract the 'Spursy' weak underbelly mentality they're infamous for.

Think this recent counter-propaganda stems back to that 2019 CL run with last gasp gift-wrapped winners against a complacent City and a naive Ajax. Then, typically when it mattered most, they didn't even lay a glove on us in Madrid. Not very "to dare is to do".

[Zee_26]

When Spurs inevitably get shafted by a poor ref, will Ange come out and say errors are part and parcel of the game? I somehow doubt he'll be as calm about it.

It’ll age as well as Coleman’s comment about all teams having injuries.

Indeed, it just puzzles me why he even thought to go there. Just don't say it. Or if asked just say something beige or conciliatory. Is it because managers love the sound of their own voices that they keep setting up hostages to fortune like that?

Had sort of expected better from him

We'll make them cry at Anfield.

Imagine the narrative if it was the other way around, we'd be getting absolute pelters for scraping over the line against poor hard done-to Spurs.
