Proof there's industry wide fixing.

MoTD didn't show the 2 footed studs up tackle at all.

And I just saw the penalty Everton didn't get.
Tell me again how two arms around an attacker AND A HANDBALL isn't a penalty?
How? When it would help Tottenham.

I seen that on the highlights and was stunned that a penalty wasn't given .

Conspiracy ?? I don't believe in conspiracies but I know for a fact it is incompetence of the highest order .

An incompetence I have been watching in all games for a number of seasons , both from the on field referee and the VAR .

It has ruined the game and unless something major isn't done then the sport will be ruined forever .

p.s. If it came out that there are conspiracies at play then the game is already ruined .

Spurs were 5th 2 seasons ago. Had vdv, Romero and Richardson not got injured, they would have been top 3.

Romero, Bentencur, Van Der Ven, Kulusevski, Kudus, Palhinha, Gallagher are top drawer players.

Madisson, grey, udogie, Porro, Richarlison are good enough to play in top teams.

Tel, Bergvall, Odobert promising young players.

Danso, dragusin, Bissoma are ok backups (and better than most teams have as 3rd choice)

This squad, on paper is top 6. Add an elite striker,
Keeper and a winger an its title winning quality.

In 2 seasons, Spurs haven’t ONCE been able to field their best 11. Completely disasterous transfer strategy has mean backups have a completely different profile to the 1st choice player.

As for us - I maintain that as long as West Ham don’t beat Brentford next week, we will get out of this - even if we lose to Villa.

Woolwich will beat West Ham and I think we beat Leeds - that will leave us above West Ham with 2 games to go. They go to Newcastle (who might still need a result) we go to Chelsea where we almost certainly lose. I can see us going into the final game level on points but above them on GD and then us both winning.

If West Ham get more than 5 points in the run in then we’re done.

Forest will get 4 points from Brighton at home and Bournemouth at home - we’d need 10 to catch them when GD is added - they’re up

Loads, he is as wasteful as it gets - but as you will insist on a name - Bergvall.

Xavi Simmons - 2 goals and 5 assists in 28 games

Brennan Johnson - 11 goals and 5 assists in 33 games

One of these players was considered useless by large parts of the fan base whilst the other is lauded, it’s bizarre, Xavi is diabolically bollocks.

Even Pahlinha has 4 goals and 2 assists in 29 matches

Much as a complete and calculated conspiracy theory is a bit more than far fetched, the amount of inexplicable decisions, one being the Sunderland non-second yellow (red) card and for example not sending-off yesterday or even showing the tackle is beyond questionable.

Impossible to keep on ignoring. Impossible.
 
Xavi’s miss yesterday was a very similar chance to the one missed at home to Brighton - he is infuriating, a terrible finisher and doesn’t offer anywhere near enough for us - he is a large reason why we will go down - Madders and Kulu injured, we went for him to fill the gap and he has still struggles to make the team at times.

We would be lucky to get £40m for him in the summer

I think Bergvall is awful in the 10

If he plays it has to be at 8

Not sure if serious...Johnson???

Fekin Bergvall lmao as if you didn’t watch thr Sunderland, the guy made 1 forward pass the entire match for God's sake, he isn't anywhere near an attacking midfielder.

I think you need to look beyond the surface of goals and assists mate unless you actually think Palhinha can play as a 10 which is hilarious sorry.
