Stellini would absolutely butcher De Zerbi in an actual fight, I'll give him that.

So I just came back from grocery shopping (was expecting a loss so didn't want to depress myself), and I come home to find out we've won?
Did I walk through some kind of dimensional gate into a parallel universe on the way back?
I will say, this match was definitely crooked, but we've been on the receiving end of fishy officiating many times this season.Chris Sutton on BT Sport (I paraphrase, but this is the gist): "I don't thinkEnglish football is corrupt. But if you wanted to show a match to use as evidence of corrupt one-sided decisions, that would be it."
And before people dump on Sutton, he's been saying how disappointed he is in the type of football Spurs have been playing this season, given the calibre of players at the manager's disposal.
League is as if not more corrupt than any other. In sport, an arena that is supposed to be a meritocracy, that anyone should prosper from such intentioned 'incompetence' is a shame. We are watching the WWF of football...only a matter of time before they have to admit it as well.Chris Sutton on BT Sport (I paraphrase, but this is the gist): "I don't thinkEnglish football is corrupt.

Bale out is when you jump out of an aeroplane.
Clearly even the ref had had enough of his refusal to change thingsLooks like Stellini getting sent off for absolutely no fucking reason was a blessing in disguise for us.
So no ruined weekend. I'll have to find something else to be annoyed about.
Don't know if i can manage to watch that many. Just put me out if my misery. We aren’t catching Utd or Newcastle anyway.Absolute robbery.
This football is just shocking. Only 8 games left.
Fixed it for youIt’s already started on BT Sport
Chris Sutton isapoplecticis a cunt.

It would be classic treatment of us if the only match where it's benefited us all season starts some sort of inquiry.
"Bale out" Is what Real Madrid fans were probably thinking (unjustly) for years.
All that kane bollox this week. Only time dyche can get in the news is slag off other players. Not on.If we ourselves can slag us off when winning, surely Sky can??

Good shout about Tanganga, he was dreadful.Beautiful win, will be looking forward to the spicy takes all week in the media about how robbed Brighton were.
Will say though, I think we’ve seen all we need to see with Tanganga. Marsh bypassed him like a hitchhiker on the roadway.
I don’t think they were outnumbered. We flooded the midfield area with players. So much so we had no one wide or forwards as options when we won the ball back. They have it easy tbh. Just shunting the ball sideways/back and not much space to cover defensively.him and skipp getting exposed by being outnumbered in this system. worst position to play in this system, hard work being outnumbered
