I think Steven Gerrard is a disgrace. He wants to win by playing "dirty" and Graham Scott is not worthy of refereeing in the PL - he takes it further to endanger the well-being of players something refs are supposed to protect as their MAIN priority.
But Scott is doing what the FA and PL want. Why else would they have VAR used not in the open way it's used in rugby, but coming to strange decisions with no big screen involvement, referees not mic-ed up so we cannot hear them tell lies, etc, etc.
They know Woolwich are not good enough. Woolwich have been propped up by the league, they dive all the time and are rewarded with dozens of free kicks and pens in their favour.
Despite all that Conté has revived Spurs to overcome the refs and the opposition and I admire how the team concentrated on their football to trash the dirty Villa and show Gerrard's rubbish tactics as counter-productive.

I got annoyed that MotD2 completely ignored the studs up high challenge on Kane that went to VAR (still don't know why VAR didn't turn that into a red), and the Soyuncu trip on Lucas when he was through on goal where we didn't get the free kick. Didn't even show them.
I feel certain if that was Liverpool on the end of it the first would have been shown 20 times and described as a career-ender, horror tackle. As for the second they'd have used graphics to show exactly where the linesman was looking across at it and ask how he hasn't seen it, they'd probably name & shame the lino too.
Anyway. I'm over it now. 100%.

There is a reason for it - football fans would likely rip the stadium apart if they see something they don't agree with. We were one of/the first team to put screens up in the stadium. Back then it was determined we wouldn't be allowed to show any replays because it was likely there would be a riot, especially if it was a poor decision.
On the flip side - why not use the fear of being lynched by a thousand fans as motivation to get your fucking decisions right refs!
Just opened Sky Sports
First story - Keane: No login Ronaldo leaving & Rashford lost hunger
Second story - How Long for ETH to fix Man U & is Klopp the template
Third story - Rangnick: Man U need to strengthen whole team
Fourth story - PL Hits and misses - Magic Mata
Fifth Story - Keane picks his best Man Uni 11
Sixth Story -Keane picks his favourite Man U forwards
Seventh Story - little breather, it's about Liverpool's Quadruple challenge. (you know, the biggest possible achievement ever)
Eighth story - Championship
Ninth story - Back to United! - Keane and Carra discuss Ronaldo
Tenth story - Man United thump Brentford
If anyone is under any illusion that Sky Sports aren't pro Man United they need to take a different colour pill.
This morning their transfer panel only spoke about Man United and as usual, they say "they should just go for Kane"
As if they have some kind of divine right to. As if he would want to go to a team that finishes below is as often as above us. A team that's on its most barren spell since they hit the jackpot with Fergie - who has long since gone. A team that is slowly decaying back to mediocrity. A team that's more of a circus than any other.
I genuinely hate Man United more than Woolwich these days and it's not even close anymore.

I mean it's almost as if they pander to the biggest clubs in England for engagement and click for revenue, I don't understand how people aren't aware of this, it gets said time and time again.
It's all the same with the British media, even worse at the BBC now they've moved to Manchester.
The focus on ManU is cringe worthy, Hen Tag hasn't even stepped foot in the UK but they keep drumming it in that he is a messiah.
It's all about how and when 'Man U will win the title' , afew weeks back there website had stories on how to help Rashford become a goal scorer again etc etc ... forgetting that's he s***
Seriously the UK media doesn't bother on how other mid table teams can improve themselves but ManU need special treatment cos they don't have a Klopp type manager or Liverpool type board who know which players to sign and run a successful team

Watching the Brighton vs Manure game now and the commentators are earning their pay today.
Even after Brighton score the first thing they talk about is how it will make top 4 difficult to achieve.

They can hype them up all they like, if they finish 7th or 8th, let's see who they can sign in the summer.
They are filthy rich, but year after year of poor performances starts to ruin your reputation, and that hurts both commercially and when trying to fix issues.
A combo of money and name value will mean they'll still be a draw for players for a number of years yet, but year by year it'll increasingly mean them end up with superficial-minded or vain players.

Helps that they seem to go looking for these players anyway.
They supposedly lost Haaland, and now Adeyemi apparently turned down their big moeny offer.
In the past they'd have no trouble taking Kane, Son and co off us. Now we don't even have to fight to keep them from United.
Don't forget the straight elbow to Sonny's face. Wasn't even looked at.
i hereby dub bt sport as liverpool love tv
Every time I hear Darren Bent on radio/TV it makes me uncomfortable.....
He's so CLEARLY a Gooner.... So how the fuck do we trust that he was ever trying his best for us...? He HATES us!
If I was good enough to ever play professional football, and got the chance to play for those cunts, I'd make sure I scored an o.g or gave the ball to the opposition in a dangerous area EVERY chance I got!
Whose to say he didn't do the same??
How many NLD's did he score in?
Honest question...
Edit; he just derided a Newcastle fan on TalkShite because he once played for Sunderland....
So where is his disdain for ArseAnal because he once played (badly) for Spurs?
Guy is a cunt fraud, who took the money from his nearest rival, and played SHIT for us while he was here.... To be fair, I'd love to be in a position to do the same ... And fuck THOSE cunts up.... But Bent got the chance, and took it...
See through Gooner Cunt!

Jim White is everything that is wrong with the media nowadays.
Fucking Simon Jordan.
Says he's not a Levy fan and then goes on to defend Levy.
He supports Levy not Tottenham.
Why can't these people just be honest with everyone and themselves.
He's a bot, on the payroll, a cuck, a Levy lover, blah, blah, etc, etc, yawn yawn.
Am I doing this right guys ?
