The club has none. ENIC are now the next cowards after Frank was fired. The few hundred thousands of fine is not worth it for them to fight the cause. We deserve all sorts of ridicule because the club has over the years allowed it to.

Agreed -
This is just a psychological reaction to losing - scanning for reasons - so bias is up there.
We havent had any pens this season because we don't play football in the opposition's box - that is it.
We also kicked the shit out of Chelsea, more so in the end, anddidnt get punished for it by Clattenberg.
The amount of time some folks spend thinking, talking, writingabout spurs, I'm not surprised some get carried away with shit like this
People will do everything they can to deny this because it’s easier to blame the players than face the uncomfortable truth that refereeing decisions could possibly repeatedly and unfairly go against us and It’s more convenient to call it bad luck or incompetence than acknowledge a pattern that keeps resurfacing.
There’s a clear reluctance to accept that bias conscious or not can exist and instead supporters are conditioned to doubt what they’re seeing...what makes it worse is the lack of accountability and silence from the club, which only allows it to continue without any sort of scrutiny.
Easier to call everyone nutjobs and conspiracy theorists though, best way to disarm someone's argument and not actually tackle the points is by calling them crazy and totally ignore the evidence even if it's blatant.
Remember when they didn't give this one lol

Gas lighting is a very successful tactic, unfortunately.
And absolutely the club are cowards and I don’t really understand what they have to lose by calling it out. It’s not like they can get even more fucked over on it.
The club should come out with every decision that’s gone against us this season and make a big thing about it. But they won’t because the lack of leadership comes from the top.
It doesn’t excuse how shit we are and have been, but there’s so many decisions that have not gone our way. Forever. But especially this year.

We are Spurs, we’re conditioned to accept the narrative that bad luck just happens to this club and we’re expected to quietly move on every time without questioning it. It’s normalised as being 'Spursy' and the club just roll over because they are happy to exist to compete in the Premier League, been happening for years.
It’s boring now. I was scrolling on my phone after the Muani goal was disallowed. Struggling to stay interested…. In a NLD…
The stadium and players were the same. In the past, the injustice of it would have got everyone fired up but it’s happening too often for that to be the reaction anymore.
Explain the 2 seconds under Ange then when we only managed to get 6 penalties. Ange's first season we recorded the 4th most touches in the box and we were given 2 penalties which was the 2nd worst in the division.
2nd season under Ange 8 highest touches on the box 4 pens given, still disproportionately low compared to our rivals but yeah 'coincidence' I guess
Had a right laugh at that NLD when Ben Davies was kicked by Rice in the box which Michael Oliver stood right in front he was so desperate not to give the pen until VAR overruled him, that was funny.
What was even more funnier about that match is when Kulu got tripped up by Trossaed in the box when he was about to shoot, didn't want to give that one obviously

The club is seen by the owner to be too good to go down, fans seen by themselves as higher in stature and refinement than any other clubs' to complain because doing so will be ridiculed by fellow supporters to be acting like a scouser or a goon.
Everything about us is too entrenched in our history, basking in it. But history isn't going to save us once we drop into the championship. Many clubs in Championship and League One are full of glorious history but they won't play in Europe, probably ever again.

OK fair points - i was talking about this - but im sure there are other reasons for why this happened and i can guarantee rival fans can point to similar situations where they should have been given penalties too.
I havent seen a single valid reason as to why we are being targeted.
And i never said it was a coincidence - maybe other teams players are instructed to play for penalties more?
who knows.....but conspiracy lol, nah. Sore losering imho
And I didn't say 'conspiracy either''...
But okay mate you keep explaining away, no worries lmao
Explain why our goal was disallowed and liverpools wasnt. Nevilles reactions? No penos this season. Newcastles peno, disallowed goal v west ham and multiple others. Romeros getting red while others get yellow or nothing.
Even saka hacking simons down yesterday feigns injury gets away with yellow
Refs literally said they were biased towards Leicester in 15/16. PL said they want new winners every year. The bias and corruption is there
Gabriel is so good at this, he constantly mis judges the flight of the ball when it's in the air particularly when he need to defend but he's really good at getting himself out of trouble and buying fouls, he reminds me of Puyol for Barcelona, he was great at diving and deceiving the referees because he initially fucked up.
And I didn't say 'conspiracy either''...
But okay mate you keep explaining away, no worries lmao
You havent given me any explanation as to why its happening lol, you have just presented some instances that back up your thinking and ignored all the ones that dont like any good conspiracy
And we arent, hence the difference. It has nothing to do with bias.
If he played for Spurs that weakness would be spotted and an unshakable narrative built around it. Officials would be influenced by that narrative and he’d be considered a liability
Why did romeros not get sent off vs Brentford then.
This season we dont ever have the ball in the box how can you win pens when you only cross the ball in
Every team has dubious goals allowed/disallowed.
How come Woolwich players are the only ones that got sent off for kicking the balls away last season
How come Fernandes gor a red against us last season
How did Liverpool goal get disallowed against us 2 seasons ago.
CONSPIRACY!!!!!!
The most blatant handball ever swept under the rug and never to be seen or heard again. Even on here people were not making it a big deal.
Absolutely incredible it wasn't given. The following week they demoted a ref who didn't give city a handball against wolves even though his arms were lower down looooooool
So it was against every team.bar Leciester?
Lets not forget we shat the bed losing games becauee of our own fault and blame the refs. Lolol
