Matchday 32

watching leice today reminds me of when i use to watch lance armstrong, you hope its all clean but not sure.

Check the other thread, the doctor has denied all accusations.

Did the double first. Won in Europe first. IIRC the only non-league team to win the FA Cup.

Our problem is we always show the rest of you plebs how to do something and can never repeat the dose after that.

And since Pochettino arrived you haven't won (see we both can play that game)

If it's so one sided why do Arsenal fans get so wound up by everything Spurs related?

Yeah we done the double first, with a team universally lauded as brilliant who broke all kind of records. You did it ten years later, with a team built on defensive football and thought of as boring. Successive Arsenal teams built on this club philosophy which became ingrained in your psyche - while Spurs were the entertainers who played the game with flair. This is why no self respecting Londoner of a certain age would follow the Arsenal ahead of Spurs - when I was kid Arsenal fans were about as common as Chelsea ones (IE they were virtually non-existent).

I don't expect you to acknowledge or know any of this because you think football began with the "invincibles".

Living in the past? Stop me if you've heard this one before - at least these other clubs you're criticizing for doing the same thing actually have something worth celebrating!

why did he lie then is he like dank?

Would suggest he thinks he was misquoted.

 

[SM]

Yeah, that still hits his elbow which is tucked into his ribs. Still 100% convinced it's no penalty. Had it hit his hand, I agree it's a penalty

A still frame is obviously not going to highlight the fact his arm is in motion in a direction that is unnatural - i.e moving backwards not forwards. Also, elbow is hand for handball.

You got very lucky just accept and move on I guess.

Selective quoting again. I have no inclination to revisit all this.

What is it with you scousers anyway! I notice the little troll that is WC2002 has to like every anti Spurs post going, as well as his constant baiting now seen in the Europa thread. It smacks of bitterness it really does

Chat shit, get banged.

Can you speak to me as an adult please. What is that some kind of "shade" you are throwing there?

 

[Zidane98]

Spurs fans showing why nobody is enjoying them having a good season and everybody enjoying Leicester having a good season shocker.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Liverpool fans showing why everybody is enjoying them having an irrelevant season and everybody enjoying Leicester having a good season shocker.

Edited for accuracy

I'm starting to come round to Spurs. It's like that episode of How I Met Your Mother, when a negative attribute is pointed out, you suddenly can't stop noticing it. The rub of the green that Leicester have had all season with the refs is really starting to rile me.

Wonder what's in that cup? Water from the Dead Sea?

Thank God there is still sanity on this board. What with tweedle dum and tweedle dumber (Wendy and WC) this place is becoming hard work.

Even though Leicester are getting obvious rub, I can't hold it against them. It's kind of impossible to really!

Got very lucky according to you. A still frame shows exactly where the arm was when the ball hit him. It wasn't away from the body and it didn't hit the part of the arm extended from his body. His elbow is where everybody's elbow naturally sits.

I'm happy to move on but I don't agree we were lucky when I think the correct call was made.

Not exactly our fault though, is it? Wouldn't it be smarter to be annoyed at those making the calls?

 

[jd2010]

There's always an element of luck involved if the decision is not clear cut. If worse/similar have been given you can see how it's lucky not have the same thing given this time true?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Leicester will probably end up with around fifty points next season, and then this season will be judged in its context.

I think now everyone wants them to take home the title - even the referees do subconsciously. It's an unstoppable force.

Not if I think it's the right call to begin with.

Although one might argue that it's luck that any of the PL referees get anything right.

 

[Zidane98]

Can't not like Leicester. Especially as they've never won a league title before.

You think any of the Spurs supporters posting remember '61?

I'm old but not that ****ing old

Yeah but you've still won it. Hopefully next season we get a brand new title winner too although that's a massive long shot.

We will win it next year - already placed the bet.

The only thing that would stop us is if Pep manages to sign Messi or Ronaldo. Not gonna happen - none of the truly world class players come to the prem.

Actually fancy Liverpool to be our main rivals next season, so this place could become rather toxic

I don't know how many times I have to explain to you step by step why that was the wrong call by the laws of the game, and you therefore got lucky with the ref making a subjective call. It's not the first time and I doubt it will be the last which is my point about why it's starting to grate. In the same game there were 2-3 other handball decisions that went your way that could have also been paid against you.

 

[SM]

I am.

It just takes away some of my enthusiasm for your success when there's been so many calls in your favour that are debatable at best and downright plain wrong at worst.

Out of interest how many penalties have you conceded this season?

Agree to disagree. The official in charge deemed it not to be a penalty so you can shout injustice until the cows come home, it doesn't make you right.
