Match Spurs v Barcodes. Saturday 4 January 2025 KO 12:30. Live on TNT

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I don't believe this is purely the case, only yesterday Arse got a dodgy decision against them in favour for Brighton so I don't think they are looking out for the big clubs at all.

Plausible deniability is the term I think.

But I do agree that it's usually the narrative more than always the same teams. But there are certain teams and fixtures where the narrative is always a constant. Us vs Chelsea being a great example.
 
Joelinton should have been gone today for about five yellows. Dan Burn should have gone for the deliberate handball.

Against Forest Yates and Anderson could easily have gone for multiple yellows long before they were actually booked.

It maybe confirmation bias but I’m pretty sure we are usually the first team carded, certainly carded for less fouls than the opponent.

Oh give it a rest you great big misery.

If you actually went to a football match live you'd notice the fans in the stadium actually support their side whatever the conditions/circumstances, yesterday the atmosphere in the stadium wasn't of great doom and misery like you constantly want to make out.

Thank god fans like you don't ever put the effort in to go to match because to be quite frank your 'support' of this club is pretty embarrassing in itself.

Always excuses for other teams but can never make the same excuses for Tottenham.

You moaned last season when we finished 5th, so being down in 12th is what sad fans like you deserve.
I think we have every right to moan about the position we're in at the moment, as it's truly a scary place, that's what this forum is for. However, when I'm at the ground, I support the team wholeheartedly, especially when I see the players doing their best.
The fact that some of us don't agree with the way Ange/Levy operate doesn't make us bad supporters, and I'm not saying I could do a better job, but it's so tough watching us lose week after week.
Having said all that, the personal insults against players, Ange, Levy and even other posters - I can do without.
Have a good evening everyone:)
 
Oliver certainly favouring the Dippers today
Still astonished about that decision yesterday. Everything about it was handball. About 2 or 3 reasons yesterday why ref and var didnt give that as handball. It was handball ffs. That ref yesterday and VAR team need to be sacked for that. Not fit for purposr. Must admit though pur crowd need to up their game now in a difficult time. Were still in all competitions. Need to make our ground hostile as fuck.
 
I was posting this up a couple of years ago, got laughed at and accused of being a conspiracy theorist.

This is the most corrupt league on Earth, and will continue to be so as long as fans continue to deny the obvious.

EVERYTHING is slanted towards benefitting the biggest spending teams, the ones that 'enhance' the Prem brand on a global scale.

Corrupt refereeing, corrupt VAR, doping that gets brushed under the carpet (Liverpool having more asthmatics than an Asthma & Lung UK member list, and now Chelsea's form suddenly dropping rapidly after Mudryk gets pinged).

This country will never wake up to it though, so long as the money keeps flowing in and fans are more intent on counting each other off.
I’m going to post something on the asthma thread, as, in winter, asthmatics should be suffering hard.
