Qwiss

awooga83 think its more a case of what we saw last season of trying to agree with the officials. You can see the way he keeps humming and hawing about it until the decisions made, then he backs the officials 100%.

awooga83

Qwiss I guess but ultimately if you don't assign any value to their comments then you can ignore it's content or entertainment or whatever. I've long stopped watching or paying attention to commentators or pundits for sky or in the game.

Straightforward consequence of PGMOL being allowed to run up their media conflicts of interest unchallenged.

Now Howard Webb won't come on your panel show to do an Alan Partridge level explainer on the "8 second rule" for keepers unless you back his multi-talentless goons on all the recaps.

We shouldn't even know their names.

MistaT

I'm seeing articles decree the Mac Allister handball as being "correctly" called per the rules.

Which means the rules are fucked, because there's no way that can be anything but a handball and penalty.

flobaba

MistaT rules are fine, till it hits Myles Lewis Skelly's arm, that no clapping while in guard of honor thug. And then we'll start hearing the technical details...

Qwiss

MistaT I have a fairly high bar for handballs and I don't see how anyone can say that wasn't one. His hand is higher than it needs to be and most importantly he clearly stop a goal scoring opportunity with it. It's not struck at him from close range, he has time to readjust, no excuse really.

Arteta says winning a trophy is about being in the right time in the right place. It’s also a hell of a lot to do with luck (which you can make if you work hard etc)

But Spurs’s chances of winning a trophy have just massively increased

QuincyAbeyie

Sicario2 why? They're trying to get rid of him because they have someone they consider better.

Sicario2

Spurs leading PSG 1-0 and deservedly so.

PSG look a shadow of the team they were in April/May - prob not enough time back post CWC.

Spurs win this it’s disgusting

GooneriC

Spuds 2-0 they're winning this easy.

Sicario2

This needs to give us extra motivation. Last few months been brutal. Rival after rival winning trophies.

We have to go and beat Utd now to start well

tazmania

I didn't even know the game was on. I don't care if they win or lose

Qwiss

tazmania I didn't realise it was on either. Still glad Spurs lost. I reckon we (and Pool) caught PSG at the wrong time and they're a little overrated.

Sicario2

On here they will downplay this game of course but we’ve never won this trophy in our history.

Burnwinter

Sicario2 On here they will downplay this game of course but we’ve never won this trophy in our history.

😆😆😆

daredevil

The Donnarumma situation makes little sense. He came in clutch during their CL win and are now replacing him with some undercooked guy.

Sicario2

daredevil this is the luck we never get

Lukazan

Came on here to joke about Sicario losing his mind over this.. only to find Sicario on here losing his mind over this.

Sicario2

Lukazan you don’t care if our rivals win so no issue if we go trophyless next season? Let rivals win and we keep not winning. No problem. All good.

Meatwad

psg only looked awesome in the final against an inter team with a coach half way out the door. that put a shine on everything and everyone overrated them.

i guess tottnumb fans won't be talking shit about set pieces and ugly football. welcome to the club.

oh and you make your own luck. psg was there for the taking and we failed.

Sicario2

Meatwad exactly your last paragraph

Klaus

Meatwad oh and you make your own luck. psg was there for the taking and we failed.

This is spot on. Ignore the CL tie against PSG and look at the FA Cup game against United: you take a penalty like Havertz did, you deserve to lose the game. The goalkeeper had the upper hand mentally before the ball had even been kicked.

jones

Meatwad they dominated every team they faced in the KO rounds. We missed a couple big chances but so did they and we deserved nothing from that tie with how we got rolled over and reverted to Pulis tactics.

thought you liked good attacking football but seems you a bit of a hater yourself.

invisibleman18

Another team coming to our ground singing that champions of Europe chant. It's just a meaningless "4th tier" trophy that's beneath us though.

Mirth

invisibleman18 at least let the game end before you lose your rag.
