Match Sheff Utd (H) 16/09 - 3PM - ANGE BALL IS BACK BABY

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Watching Match Of The Day and they didn't even show the Maddison penalty claim........ I don't mean they didn't show the ref bit giving it, I mean they didn't show it at all??? Not even the challenge, it was completely cut out.

Just bizarre?

I can't imagine they'd do that if it was City or It's that got denied the blatant penalty. They'd have had a good long chat about it.


Also didn't realise the Sheff UTD manager was as equally upset by the officials as we were.
 
The difference between yesterday and last season was that I'd I (and 50% of the stadium) would have already left by the time we equalised.

But I think everyone there thought we could win. Even with 3 minutes of the 12 left.
I took a quick video of the stadium at 113 minutes and it was still packed solid.
Made me miss a train and cost me a 47 minute wait for the next one, but well worth it.

Fair play. Did you take loads of Imodium to firm up the trots?

Sky extended highlights didn't show the penalty either. Their 2 minutes on the app did and it was CLEARLY a penalty.

As for Dickinbottom - his beef with the referee is nothing more than childish excuse making. He knows the 12 minutes were for his teams time wasting. He knows they turned a win into a loss exclusively because of it. And he's tried to make an excuse and blame someone else.

They would have shown it if we lost, but as we won I understand why they wouldn’t waste time on it.

I thought lineker looked genuinely pissed off that we'd won.

Agree, although well done to our team for keeping going, but yes , his team caused their own downfall.
I think this season, we will see lots of late goals scored, with this additional time being added.
 
Still revelling in it today. An Australian on the train home went into raptures about big Ange; how he'd be great for us, and he used to manage his team back home. When I suggested he started to support us and he waved a previously concealed West Ham shop bag at me. No helping some folks.

Some of the West Ham fans faces were classic at Waterloo, I wish I'd taken photos. Meanwhile I was strutting through that station like Beyonce 😂 It's so good to feel proud again.

Its not time wasting to show how fucking inept referees and the VAR teams are. In fact, I think they should spend more time asking why these decisions are still wrong so often

MoTD said after 5 games last week there were 2 goals scored after 90. This season it's 18

Or the goalkeeper going through all the rigmarole of taking of his gloves throwing them to the floor to pick em up and put them back on again. He should of been booked for that alone and it would of been a second yellow/red card.
 
Can't believe (and this one has me slack jawed) that Heckinbottom has the audacity to say the keeper wasn't time wasting, he was just waiting to see how we lined up, and that the referee has no right to dictate how they play.
Wanna tell me why he threw his gloves off and wasted a good 5 minutes IN EACH HALF?
What about telling me why various players sat down feigning injury but not going off "for treatment"
Just seen it too, insane excuse (as Shearer pointed out).

He had time to bring a laptop onto the pitch, sit down and calculate the trigonometry based on current on-field positions.

45 seconds was dedicated to him being given eye drops for fuck's sake.
 
I got proper emotional at the end.

Sheffield Utd (H) was Poch’s last game and to me, it just felt like closure.

All the trophy banter from rival fans and the media got to us, and we reacted to that by trying to shortcut our way to success with the serial winners whilst sacrificing the ethos that had got us close in the first place.

The manner in which how the winning goal came just felt like vindication.

If we’re going to see a parade down N17, it’s going to be with a brand of football that doesn’t betray our history.
Extremely well said good sir! :pochcry::adesalute::ange-pray:
