Brilliant penalty.

I compare all of these to the Curtis Jones red now. That was worse and just a yellow. No consistency.

Curtis was tremendously unlucky with the deflection off the ball. But the way the law is interpreted it’s a red, because of the bending of the leg bit (I don’t agree with the law here though)

Looking at the Romero one, it doesn’t get overturned if it’s a red. But this tackle was below the ankle (it was an odd angle as he was on the floor) and the force is not deemed too much. It’s touch and go on the excessive force bit of course, but that’s why it won’t have been overturned

[Father Ted]

This is why they’re Champions. Fair play.

[The G in Gerrard]

Spurs have played well but jesus Newcastle look absolutely shot. They might get better again after a January break, but for now they look like they're totally running on empty.

We play them New Years Day - long may that form continue.

After four defeats and a draw in the last five.

There was a ridiculous piece in the Guardian today about him channelling the spirit of Puskas to give Spurs what they've been looking for... After they've been in the worst form in the league for a month.

Romero's is the worst tackle I've seen this season.

[koptommy93]

I'd rather have Tyler back than listen to Peter Drury the cringey bellwhiff.

[Cesar]

Just had a thought, might be a bit out there like, but does anyone thing that this result might partially be explained by the extent of Newcastle's injury problems?

[wz4jc3]

Does this now mean Spurs have won the Prem for a second time this season?😁

[PeterTheRed ...]

That would be great. I really don't want the media paying any attention to the fact that we are top of the table, at least until we dismantle Arsenal ...

[TALBERT]

Neville started already

I can't stand Peter Drury bring back Martin Tyler...

'THEY PLAY THEIR OWN WAY'  - fuck off with this bullshit

[Zimagic]

Don't Newcastle have to win in the CL during the week? Are they playing anyone decent?

Watch it at full speed and there’s no touch and go about the force. Went in on him full pelt. His reputation should have preceded him aswell, absolute weapon.

[Oldmanmick]

Newcastle's impressive goal difference after that 8-0 thrashing of Sheffield United has pretty much been cancelled out in the last 2 matches.

[Dim Glas]

Milan, who also have an injury crisis, unfortunately!

[Wabaloolah]

Keith Burkinshaw looks good for 88!

[decosabute]

Romero's is the worst tackle I've seen this season.

It was a terrible tackle and completely and utterly unnecessary. 3-0 up and cruising, and there was no honest attempt to play the ball. Romero is genuinely a prick. Refs need to be right on top of him in every game. He's at it all the time.

[DelTrotter]

Watch it at full speed and there’s no touch and go about the force. Went in on him full pelt. His reputation should have preceded him aswell, absolute weapon.

And when your own team is 3-0 up as well, absolutely insane. He's a liability.

[rushyman]

I can't stand Peter Drury bring back Martin Tyler...

'THEY PLAY THEIR OWN WAY'  - fuck off with this bullshit

It comes to mind if you don't like drury then you
May aswell mute comms indefinitely

Bring back Martin Tyler?

Please take that back 😂

[stoa]

Milan. If they lose they're out completely, could still get second place with a win, if the result of the other match goes their way.

[John C]

I can't get over how Romero stays on pitch

Yep. Everyone in that VAR room should be fucking ashamed of themselves.
Every week there's baffling decisions.

[TepidT2O]

We should just get rid.

Keep it for offside and the goaline stuff, and bin the rest. It’s making refs make mad decisions and the VAR doesn’t over turn it or they themselves make mad calls

There's literally zero chance of that. Genie is out of the bottle and it does get more right than wrong. And gets about 50 times more right than just 1 bloke on the pitch

[rushyman]

The concert is off at the spurs stadium

Embarrasing bellends

[decosabute]

I can't stand Peter Drury bring back Martin Tyler...

'THEY PLAY THEIR OWN WAY'  - fuck off with this bullshit

Was always surprised at the Drury love-in on here. While he's not as bad as Tyler, he's awful for overdoing it and clearly having pre-written lines on goals. I remember him being absolutely unbearable on Spurs when Pochettino was the manager as well - sounds like a fan.

[TALBERT]

Spurs are a small club

They have won fuck all

Villa are bigger, Sunderland, Everton, dare I say Newcastle...

Spurs Honours

Top Tier - League Titles - 2

FA Cup - 8

League Cup - 4

Charity Shield - 7

UEFA Cup Winners Cup - 1

UEFA Cup/Europa League - 2


Last Cup won (League Cup 2007/2008) - 15 years ago

And before that FA Cup 1990/91 - 32 years ago



Huddersfield Town have more League Titles...


And Remember Football was invented in 1992 so everything before that means nothing...


So One League Cup then

Completely agree. It should just be for offsides and for things the ref couldn't have seen. It's become the de facto referee of the game and it's leading to even more fury. As you say, the the way things are, refs are actually chickening out of decisions because they're leaving it to VAR. It needs to be the refs doing most of the calls, with VAR helping with things off the ball.

Tie me kangaroo down, a win for all of Australia!

[Paisley79]

I'm not watching the game but I would just like to say - I have always thought Drury is ball-achingly bad!

[KurtVerbose]

Spurs are a small club

They have won fuck all

Villa are bigger,

But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.

Shouldn’t you be including the league title they won in October in there?

[goalrushatgoodison]

Behave!

[BobPaisley3]

Very good sir.

[rob1966]

But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all.

You absolute star. I've had that song in my head on and off for ages and could I fuck remember that line.

[afc tukrish]

Just studs on the ankle and then bringing the other leg in for a scissor tackle. Nothing to see there.

That was the worst part, although I guess two bare-minimum cautionable tackles, either of which could have been red, in the incident don't add up to a red card, or something...
