From now on let's play better, score goals and don't rely dodgy decisions either way!

We're not allowed to do that.
Watch it tonight. Watch how the ref blows for every single Spurs tackle. Watch Palace players stay down when the lose the ball and the ref stops play. Watch any goals we score getting ruled out for absolutely anything at all.

Can someone explain to me rationally why the premier league would want a top 6 club, who are part of the clubs who earn them the most money, to go down?

It doesn’t serve any interest for us to be relegated. If you’re going to come up with a conspiracy theory there first has to be a plausible reason for a grand conspiracy against Spurs. In which all officials co-ordinate to relegate us. Which would require unreal levels of keeping people silent at the risk of the total collapse of the leagues establishment.

So no, it isn’t. People can argue subconscious bias or bad luck but anyone thinking it’s a co-ordinated plan against Tottenham is thinking totally irrationally. It makes no sense to do it nor would it really work.

Coz Spurs are the arch-enemies of Arsenil who get every single dive they do and cheat in every match, while Tottenham have the most yellow cards, most reds, even tho Spurs ain't very physical, and have had zero penalties given in favour this season.

You have to understand the Premier League is the richest league in the world and therefore the most corrupt. They want Spurs down so Arsenil grow bigger with their fake football, fouling the goalie at every corner, and their catalogue of dives in every match.
 
I would also say, some "fans" on this forum are probably not genuine Spurs fans and priobably Woolwich, Hammers or Chelski TROLLS. Only a blind idiot would say Spurs are not being cheated by the referees this season (if not every season - but this year Tottenham may go down).
 
Ref was a cunt tonight, but the VDV decision was spot on.

I'm one of the ones that thinks refs ref teams different based on the crest on their jersey. But tonight was a mixture of VDV stupidity, Tudor playing the players out of position.
And the spineless shitcunts wearing our shirt.

Gray is the only one who comes out of this with any credit

No one does, the club don't have anyone fighting it's corner, can't remember the last time a manager actually came out and put pressure on referees and we don't have anyone in the media calling it out either...Michael Dawson is a suck up, Redknapp, Hoddle and Sherwood hate the club and King is soft as shit lol Bale, Defoe, and Crouch are more neutral, it's a real problem.

I think people that openly back Tottenham are scared of being mocked or scared of the club doing something stupid which in turn makes them look stupid (even when we have had high moments), I see the same thing with content creators as well, club plays it's position and so do those in the media.

VDV only touched him and the Palace player threw himself down theactrically. Some naive Spurs fans will back the "c" ref you said but a penalty is enough not red & pen. Some Spurs fans make apologies for even "c" referees. He gave Palace every dive in this match. Nobody can win against that but Tottenham fans blame the players only like the weak people they are!
 
BTW in the voting, the 29 who said Spurs were not being cheated are Woolwich, Hammers, Chelski and a handfull of rubbish dopey Spurs weak fake waste of space "fans" who should go and follow another club.

Maybe I'm naive but the "blaming corruption" stuff always makes me groan. Kind of like a kid having a tantrum in a game and saying "you're picking on me" instead of just getting on with it and trying harder.

Some examples as to why I think we're being cheated.

Watch Paquette push VDV into KWP before pulling VDV back.
Result - goal disallowed.

You only need to watch a full 90 minute match to see how bias against us the refereeing is.
Within 5 minutes of the kick off yesterday, the ref gave a free kick against RKM after he was held back by Bassey and then didn't give anything when their RB used both hands to drag Gray down.
Opening 5 minutes.
And it happens all match every match in the PL.

Let's not forget Newcastle got given a penalty for Dan Burn putting Bentancur in a head lock.
 
Latest round of "it's not match fixing"

Brobbey wipes out Romero and doesn't even get a yellow which would have been a red if it was reversed.
Brobbey elbows Porro in the face on purpose. It's not dreadful, but by the law it's a red. Gets a yellow.
Brobbey shoves Romero which possibly injures him for the rest of the season. Not even a FK let alone the 2nd yellow.

VdV shoves a Sunderland player with less force than Brobbey and gets a yellow.
Romero gets a yellow for his first tackle.
RKM at one point conceded a free kick for winning a bouncing ball and making zero contact with the oppo player. Insane.


And through all of that, as well as every one of our tackles ending up in the whistle going, the commentary making out that the ref was having a good game.
 
Who benefits from Spurs matches being fixed so Spurs are relegated?

Lot's of live Championship games on TV these days. Spurs on a Friday night and Saturday lunchtime next season will be a spinner.


Whose hand did Daniel Greedy bite when he plotted a European super League?

In life;

When you bite the hand that has been feeding you it often turns out badly.
 
Whilst I'll concede the officiating has been dubious at best we're not where we are just because of referees. We're in the bottom three because that's where we deserve to be based on performances.

Its so blatant to see as well.

Yet the club still isn't calling it out publicly.
 
I'm here to add a bit of balance and objectivity to the debate...

Rob Jones is a gooner mackem cunt who should never, ever, referee another game in his entire life. Incompetent is not the word.

Us being crap, whilst true, is irrelevant.
