I still think we'll have the same problem. Ref makes an onfield decision and if it's close he will stick with it even if level means onside. I just think they are corrupt and nothing will changeWhy can't the ref always decide on the sidelines,
Bribes I don't know but they know the decision should go a different way but know the ref or linesmen will look bad if overruled. So they just 'agree' with the onfield decision.I understand being annoyed with the decisions but what’s the corrupt bit? Are you seriously suggesting they’re getting bribes?
Could almost live with it if it gave the right decision in the end. It's bad enough seeing an onfield decision go the wrong way but it's a million times more infuriating when they freeze it zoom in draw lines and it's quite clear yet they get it wrong. I reiterate my point that the adjudicator/var should be an independent body. Not the same as the refs and under no influence to agree with the onfield officialsAll that VAR has done for me is made me more disillusioned with football. It has taken away the excitement and passion and made watching it a much more sterile experience. I 100% think that we were cheated yesterday just like the Son goal ruled out against Leicester. They can use VAR to justify anything. They can vary the frames, angles and not draw the lines on straight. It is bullshit. Having said that it was a shit performance
Great smell I heardHe supplied Bill Clinton’s cigars I think
So true. He should've called on the football Gods and asked them to turn Dier, Sanchez, Aurier, Davies, Lamela, Sissoko, Bergwjin, Dele, Doherty, Winks, Reggie (for approx 60% of his games)......into better footballers.With Jose, we got the shit football and no trophies. Lucky us!

Do you think Pep, Poch, Nagelsmann, Ten Hagen, Tuchel....... (Pick your Name), Could have done better with 11 first team players being substandard? Do you think any of those players would have made it into a Man City, Madrid, Barcelona, Man United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich.... Squad?
Not one of them would even be a bench warmer in one of the big clubs. Yet it was expected that Jose makes miracles.
People have to stop bashing any of our coaches. The problem was never the coaches. They were always "Boxing above their weight."
Andre Villa Boas has come clean. He left because Businessman wanted the club run as a business. They were never interested in the history or honour of the club. It's all about money.
I agree with your comment but that’s not corrupt.Bribes I don't know but they know the decision should go a different way but know the ref or linesmen will look bad if overruled. So they just 'agree' with the onfield decision.
Then what do you call then as it's deliberately giving a decision you know is wrong in order to keep your job.I agree with your comment but that’s not corrupt.

It appears some fans have really short term memory. They only remember a week or twos worth of games.Yes those managers could have got better because they wouldn't have sat Toby, wouldn't have played Sissoko so much, would have focused on playing a style that best suited the players not pushing them back in a low block asking teams to bring pressure on to our weakest players.
It wasn't expected for Jose to make miracles it was expected for him to get top 4 in a season where Liverpool was playing its best MFers as CB's, Chelsea had an overwhlemed PE teacher as manager and Leicester is trying to get to 5th place.
He was expected to take a team with Son, Kane, Bale, Lloris, Reguilon, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Toby and get a result agaisnt Zagreb with a 2-0 lead.
Those aren't miracles, those are fairly low expectations, and not only could he not reach those lofty goals, he played the most insipid, boring football the PL has ever seen while taking us to new lows.
The squad has problems but not as bad as you think the problem is Mourinho only came for a payday without the past magic that enabled him to win the trophies. Levy is still a problem because of his failure to invest in the squad properly when Poch was manager. The fact is we have had terrible squad building since the 2017 summer where we sold Kyle Walker.It appears some fans have really short term memory. They only remember a week or twos worth of games.
Last season Jose was being crucified for playing Kane so much. When Kane was injured, fans complain that he should be kept for important games.
Toby had a completely horrific game prior to Jose benching him. I don't know how he fared at training, as I wasn't there. Jose benches him and again some fans go on the protest.
He plays Aurier and fans protest for Doherty. He plays Doherty and fans protest again.
We have 1 reasonably Good player in our whole defense, 1 that has potential but lacks experience, 1 good player that is plagued by injuries and 6 that won't make Sheffield United's squad. But we blame the manager? So only one reliable defender is of real quality. When he has an 'off period', every choice the manager makes will be a crap one.
Managing a team isn't about one performance. I wouldn't expect everyone to understand that. We moaned because Poch couldn't disaplain his players, now we moan because Jose was too hard on players.
Players need to grow a pair. They getting payed weekly salaries that some of us struggle to make in 1 year. If they are crap, they need take it when the manager tells them.
Spurs are at the moment are not a Good squad. No manager on the planet can make them win anything.
At a huge loss I assume, Gio tooBut he wouldn’t have lasted until half time and he didn’t look particularly interested when he did come on
Cut our losses and get rid
At a huge loss I assume, Gio too
100 lashings firstWhen you see that in the context of what we’re going though, I don’t think instant sacking would be unfair
Just another embarrassing clip.At a huge loss I assume, Gio too
Gets worse every time I look at it
No pressure and still can’t keep it in!
Matron.....
