Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Ref's ain't scared of us, they are scared of making mistakes/judgements that go against the bigger teams and the shitstorm that follows in the press.
 
I don't believe there's a conspiracy, but I do believe some elements of the media love sticking the boot in at every opportunity. There are plenty of examples in the Media Bias thread, but one that stuck out for me was a pretty blatant example back in November, when Sky Sports were promoting a segment about the title race. Here's a tweet of a screen shot someone took. Worth bearing in mind we were 4th at the time.

There's also this on the BBC today entitled, "How Spurs fans watched the semi-final against Manchester United". Pretty unsensational stuff, to be sure, but there's nothing on the BBC about how Southampton fans watched their semi-final game again Chelsea.
 
It certainly feels like that. Considering VAR was in use on Saturday, there was a definite push by Lukaku on Moussa before their goal and the amount of added time was probably half of what it should have been. I don't feel we are a particularly lucky side TBH, any amount of good fortune is heavily outweighed by the bad stuff!
 
VAR should have been used to look at the 2 footed Valencia challenge on Dele... Instead Taylor books Valencia so he can't even get a retrospective ban.
