Cheers mate. Just back from the swimming pool with the kids. Settling down now for the Spurs v Stoke game and will have a can or two watching it. Should be a routine three points for Spurs but I have a sneaky feeling they’ll make a balls of it and drop points.
If Spurs are awarded a controversial penalty will you be coming on here screaming Conspiracy?
So you’re now relying on the Sun Newspaper, Jamie Redknapp and a few Southampton supporters screeching ‘we wuz robbed’ to back up your sinking ship.
Interesting to note the man statistically ranked the best English referee of the last 25 years, Graham Poll was of the view that it was the correct decision to send off Nathan Redmond.
Tellingly, Claude Puel (while making the usual noises in support of his player) accepted the decision and Southampton chose not to appeal.
There’s the problem with you. You scream conspiracy on one hand and then decide you can pick and choose which cases are worthwhile and which are not.
Spurs have been the beneficiaries of a number of highly controversial and contentious decisions this season yet we never heard a peep from you. You have zero credibility.
I notice you said have refused to condemn the thuggish tackle by Dele Alli in midweek that could easily have caused a serious injury to the Gent lad midweek, you hypocrite.
Thundering. Gobshites.
You cited three supposed controversial decisions yesterday involving Spurs this season, all of which I have dealt with.
I posted up my comments for you yesterday on the one standout bad decision this season that went Spurs way after the Manchester City game. You must have missed it. Here it is again.
The next so called ‘controversial’ decision you referred to was the penalty which Spurs were correctly awarded at Woolwich on 6 November. For the umpteenth time, here’s what you had to say on that one the day of the game.
You hilariously relied on the moaning of your old buddy Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool drew 1-1 at White Hart Lane, a game in which it was Spurs who were very much on the receiving end of the wrong decisions. Klopp was wrong on the disallowed Mane goal. It was correctly ruled out as the assistant referee spotted that Lallana who sent in the cross to Mane was ahead of the last man and in an offside position. Quite apart from that, Mane shouldn’t have been on the field at that stage as he should have got a second yellow card for a bad challenge on Danny Rose. The Liverpool goal in that 1-1 draw was courtesy of a penalty awarded for a foul outside the box, which you acknowledged on the day of the game.
You’re now citing a fourth ‘controversial’ incident involving Spurs this season, the correct sending off of Nathan Redmond.
Seeing as you are using me as an abitrator of decisions, you should note that I don’t think Swansea should have had a penalty yesterday.
That would be if you were consistent and apply your criteria across the board, we all know this is not the case though.
We never heard a peep out of you all season when these controversial decisions were going in favour of Spurs - odd given your current stance.
That’s not entirely true
Fully true.
You said we never heard a peep out of him when he has shown already loads of times that he did say that Spurs were benefactors of a poor decision in a game
We never heard a peep out of him about conspiracies.
The only incident he actually acknowledged was the City one which was as blatant as you’ll see - no claims about conspiracies there.
Nice try at attempting to mislead people but you’ll need your facts right against me.
You should have made your post more clear. You said we never heard a peep out of him, you never mentioned anything about conspiracies
I have referenced conspiracies plenty of times in this dispute, you should pay more attention.
I think I should be paying less attention tbh

@the_man_himself is correct here. i commented on the decisions in the Liverpool and Woolwich games as they happened. @Nembo_Kid should really stop holding himself hostage to fortune.
Here’s what I posted on 27 August, the day of the Liverpool match at White Hart Lane.
Here’s what I said about the penalty decision on 6 November at Woolwich. You may recall there was some debate about whether the Wimmer o.g. was correctly awarded to Woolwich. I also very sportingly acknowledged that there was no problem with the Woolwich goal.
That’s your opinion and this is a great deal of subjectivity to that.
They were highly controversial, highly contentious decisions and Spurs came out the right side of them as they conveniently seem to have done in big decisions this season.
No sign of conspiracy there, yet one decision goes Chelsea’s way this year and you’re calling conspiracy.
Utterly bizarre and anti-logic.
You’ve been well and truly clamped again mate. You said any number of times there wasn’t a peep out of me about any of these decisions. I’ve just posted up the posts and judgement calls that I made on the three decisions you referred to yesterday in live time as I was watching the games. I made the correct calls in each case too. I even sportingly acknowledged that I didn’t have a problem with the Woolwich goal against Spurs when plenty were saying it shouldn’t have been allowed. I am as objective, fair and most of the time correct as you could get.
If you can show me where you were crying conspiracy when Spurs were continually benefitting from controversial decisions then I will recant. Otherwise I will continue to collar you on your bizarre, anti-logic contradictions.
Spurs denied a stonewall penalty there, disgraceful decision.
