Was half expecting Ange to get the boot today, but on reflection Levy is probably giving him some leeway for the injuries. Also what's the point in bringing a new fella in to work with the same situation. 

 

Don't think he'll last much longer if they keep losing games though. 10 they've lost in the league this season. Only teams in the bottom 4 have lost 10 or more so far this season. 

Lad who I know who's a Spurs fan said he will be gone soon.  Said he's too stubborn with his tactics and never changes things despite injuries etc

Aye looks like Tindall's just cupped and scooped one and a bit's gone in his gob.

Hope he stays so we can hump them in the final. If spurs turn up they can beat the bin dippers all we need to do is beat Arsenal 🤞

Old news now but Dermot Gallagher has said that Kulecevski's shoulder to Gordon's face should have been a penalty. That's twice in a row he's got it right and that we've been dudded, yet somehow everyone just wants to talk about the ball striking Joelinton's hand from point blank range.

Sky Sports News did a bit talking about the incidents in our game. The presenter bloke had obviously been given the role of devil's advocate talking about the Joelinton handball, but he just sounded like a fucking idiot trying to argue that the natural position for your arms is ramrod straight, tucked against the side of your body.

 

The three other people - two ex pros and and ex ref were like "mate. That's not a natural position when you're a footballer in motion". Dickhead.

The ex ref also said Burn's was a handball, free kick, nothing more. I still haven't seen anyone actually slow the footage down and address the fact that it actually hits his shoulder.

That’s what I thought and I’ve seen the replay a couple of times on MOTD since. During the match then in the analysis. His arms are in an unnatural position but then he moves his arm out of the way of the ball and it then brushes his chest before possibly also brushing his upper arm or shoulder. It would have been an incredibly harsh second yellow. Also thought Gordon’s was a blatant pen. It barely got mentioned on MOTD. The highlights also made it look like we were under the cosh second half, which I never really thought was the case. I don’t think it’s an agenda by the BBC editorial team or anything. Except the usual greater concern of creating /adding to a story as opposed to accuracy. You know like: more pressure heaped onto manager after controversial defeat. The post-match interview helped frame all that

I think he's backed away from that view now.

There was an incident involving Gordon and initially, Gallagher felt it should have been a penalty following a tangle with Dejan Kulusevski. However, the former official went back on his initial decision, he said: "I have to hold my hand up here because when I saw this first of all I thought penalty. A lot of the times I think go with your gut reaction.  "When I look at it I think, my mantra somebody pointed out on Sunday when I pointed out was 'look, the guy is already there what can he do. He can't make himself invisible. So I think they have clashed and I think actually the referee has got it right."
