just how did CeeLo miss that though?

I bow to your greatness Jurgen..

Always love getting one over a Mourinho team.  Youe bus is broken and is lying in a heap on Tottenham high road waiting to get towed for blocking the road for other users. I felt at times we were too comfortable and that a lose pass was going to let them in. Probably boredom set in with us. The mighty red machine rolls on to win sway at spurs is no mean feat I don't care how bad Spurs are. They are a good side I just wish our play meant the result was wider that our play deserved. 3 points is all that matters on the road to the promised land.

The Future is Bright the Future is RED.

Stretching was never in Control of the ball

Once they stop looking shite or biased to one side or another then I would say people wouldn't even mention them

Atkinson has been a twat against us every single time he referees our games.

Guess you've already forgotten the Manc 'goal' that cost us the only points this season - after a blatent foul on Origi that he was looking right at.

Given that fans on here are complaining page after page about Atkinson fucking us over, and the fans on BlueMoon and Redcafe complaining page after page about how he gifted us the points, I think that you're wrong.

To be honest, I think a huge part of the issue is that the post-match analysis focuses so much on the referees but in general it's because it's natural for a biased mind to consider a neutral viewpoint as opposite. It's the same reason that every single forum has a thread for the media bias against their team, coupled with countless examples of how the media favor their biggest rivals.

In my opinion, it's tedious. You think it's fair because the refs actually are fucking us over, fair enough. I disagree with you (and every other fan on every other forum claiming the same for their team), but even if it were true, discussing referee decisions isn't very interesting, is it.

[So… Howard Philips]

This is going to be the most famous throw in in history. Fuckin throw in, fuck off.

Our throw in coach has certainly earned his money.

[El Lobo]

The players themselves disagree with you 

Post the quote from any of our players saying we played badly

Go 

[Medellin]

Forget you..

[Rojo Junior]

Fully expected the game to turn out like that with Spurs trying to nick the ball and spring counter attacks on us.

We cut it close but luckily their finishing today was abysmal

[Cormack Snr]

Brilliant Mighty Reds

                               Clean Sheet Central....

[TheTeflonJohn]

Question - Did ye bollocks pop out of ye mouth with that Lo Celso chance?

Me- Still trying to clean my teeth with a tooth pick 

[oldfordie]

Brialliant goal by Firmino,should have had it sown up before half time,only mistakes let Spurs in.

[Qston]

I bow to your greatness Jurgen..

Oh that's a great pic ! I suspect I will be seeing that a lot over the next few years

[Studgotelli]

A shame we drew that game vs the Mancs would be a perfect start

Keep it going Reds

[Dim Glas]

Not even close.

give it a few hours on social media and oppo forums, and he'll have caught the ball and thrown it into Salah's path.

People are still swearing blind Virgil handled for the goal vs Wolves.

[Wabaloolah]

A weeks rest and we play badly. We demand a midweek game every week. And Gini please pass the ball faster. Anyway 3 points but improvement needed.

not that proud then today, I guess

Yeah he was a prick today as usual, he’ll try a few more times before he retires

As you know though Andy, some do go to extremes over it. Often completely dominating and even ruining threads with the obsession.

[Something Worse]

2/3 of the possession and double the fouls (8 to 4)

Atkinson

[Andy @ Allerton!]

None of what I've said above is an opinion, it's a fact. And in my opinion, it's tedious. You think it's fair because the refs actually are fucking us over, fair enough. I disagree with you (and every other fan on every other forum claiming the same for their team), but even if it were true, discussing referee decisions isn't very interesting, is it.

For a laugh, I followed all the decisions second half. I suggest you try it yourself. He was woefully one-sided. If you need to look at more proof, look at possession as well and the number of fouls/cards.

He gave us fuck all. I have stopped wondering what the fuck Mo has to do to get a fucking foul awarded in his favour - he's literally dragged off his feet every game. Mane is pushed, pulled, booted and molested every time he turns. You can argue they should be 'strong' - but it's beyond a joke now. And it goes through the side - Hendo was getting foul after foul and Atkinson just let it all go - yet the slightest touch (or not) and Spurs were getting freekicks all over the shop.

[AllyouneedisRush]

Not bad this team are they 😊

[redman64]

The Grinders at work again. We did just enough. Raised our game when we needed to. Chilled the rest of the time 

[Wabaloolah]

Brialliant goal by Firmino,should have had it sown up before half time,only mistakes let Spurs in.

[AndyMuller]

Tactics Tim talking utter shite as usual.

Go 

I imagine you have heard the player interviews and the need to improve.

Be great if you'd go 

Oh and now the boss is complaining about the performance 

[SerbianScouser]

Gomez and Van Dijk man...

[andy07]

Spurs 1-0
Sheff U 2-0
Wolves 1-0
Leicester 4-0
Watford 2-0
Bournemouth 3-0
Everton 5-2

So 405 minutes since conceding a league goal. 

[Fitzy.]

The fact that Spurs fans got excited when their team had possession in Liverpool’s half is testament to this wonderful football team.

[elsewhere]

i seriously think we may close the season with 1 draw and 112 points

[farawayred]

Lo Celco was pretty good today when he came on and we were tired, but I hate that kunt Lamella... And Lucas Moura didn't stop falling under the wind. Perfect team for Mourinho, they fit each other so well! Go into fucking oblivion, Spurs, you belong there.

Not a great play from our boys, but three points in the bag. Important three points at that. Next week's three points will be even sweeter.

[kasperoff]

Bet MOTD make it out that it was a really tight game and Spurs should have at least drawn.

The reality is that we strolled around them all game and made them look like relegation fodder.

The stream I watched had Shearer giving his team of the decade after the match. No Liverpool players.

Hazard, Silva, Yaya Toure, Ivanovic(!), Terry, Cech, Aguero, Rooney, De Bryne, Kompany, Kante.

"Beat that", says Shearer. This Liverpool side wipes the floor with that, I thought.

[Medellin]

Shout out for this fella..

[El Lobo]

I imagine you have heard the player interviews and the need to improve.

Be great if you'd go 

I did, and the manager now saying there were a lot of good things

If you’ve got fuck all of anyone of the players or the manager saying we played BADLY (which they haven’t and they won’t because we didn’t) then honestly just step away from your keyboard

[Red_Mist]

I bow to your greatness Jurgen..

Yep, it was AT LEAST that wide Jose.

Wider than when we hit the woodwork. But it’s you who is soooo unlucky.

[1892tillforever]

Extremely good for the most part. Not clinical enough is the main "complaint" although I prefer to enjoy this remarkable team.

[Wabaloolah]

they didn't say we played badly just disappointed with the performance as they felt they should have scored more goals, which is true but we certainly didn't play badly

[SinceSixtyFive]

Decent that.

Absolutely chuffed with the three points and a clean sheet.

Chalk off one less win required! Bring on Yernited.

[aw1991]

Shout out for this fella..

Was brilliant!

[Red Eyed]

Thought it was funny when we let Spurs back into the game for 10 minutes and Neville's only guess why was to say the players must have gotten bored.

[Kenny's Jacket]

That's something that I perhaps might have done when I was twelve and obsessed with the referees favoring United all the time, but even then I don't think I ever went that far.

There's a few like you on every forum, so desperately convinced that they're getting treated worse than their rivals, and the best you can come up with is that you're the one who's in the right. You probably aren't, mate, but your hypothesis (like City fans believing in conspiracies and United fans thinking we're the luckiest side alive) isn't falsifiable, so you'll go on of course. I'm just saying it's tedious, and you've let it go so far that you're literally sitting during a match writing down every decision. I'm sure, at some point in hindsight, you'll see the downside yourself. No matter how right you think that you are, and how impossible it is to prove that you're not.
