They exist, though. Does this bloke?
Yes and no.

Yes somebody posted it, but since their retweets are from several other writers for the non-existent RoverSportNews such as...

...the odds are all these accounts are the same bloke - who apparently forgets which accounts he's signed in with when there's a random pro-Tommy Robinson tweet hidden amongst the made up headlines and badly Photoshopped images.

Reactions: PleaseNotPoll
was watching highlights of the 2006-07 season. Charlton, Sheffield United and Watford were relegated. Wigan, Fulham, West Ham, Man City, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Villa, Blackburn 10th, Portsmouth 9th Reading 8th ( missed out on Europe by 4 pts, 2pts and 1pt respectively) Bolton came 7th, Everton 6th, Spurs 5th the Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and United.

All those hacks who demand we spend more than we can afford to "take a chance" ignore the plights of Bolton, Pompey, Charlton, Sheffield United, Wigan, Blackburn, Reading and Villa who are all in dire money troubles...that's 8 out of 20 clubs from just 10 yrs ago. Maybe if they had Chairman like Levy, 6 of them would not be in League 1 and one would not be at the foot of league 2 and one would not have been facing bankruptcy last summer
 
Spurs have had injuries to:
Dembele, Dele, Eriksen, Vertongen, Lamela, Lloris, Aurier and Rose.
We faced Barcelona without Vertongen, Dele, Eriksen and Dembele.
Media reaction...what do they expect after not spending money in the summer.

Liverpool have injuries to:
kieta, lalana, Mane, Salah, Van Dyke, and Milner.
Media reaction...

LIVERPOOL CRISIS

I agree with the hacks.
No Salah = no penalties. No Milner = no penalties scored.

They should have signed one guy who is a combo
tap-in merchant / penalty scorer / one season wonder.

Seriously ...

One day I am gonna do some proper stattery on PL injuries
and combine it with reliability engineering concepts
(MTBF, MTTR etc) and put this whining to death.

Specifically, so people can say :

Well, you should expect your players in position X on
average to get injured this often and be out this long before
they return to the starting XI playing to their pre-injury level.
 
We have our own problems with dog-whistling fascist newstalk 'commentators'......

George Hook: Case of Eric (9) is 'truly terrible' but he should be deported, it's the law
https://www.independent.ie/irish-ne...-should-be-deported-its-the-law-37438985.html

This is the guy who also called for whistleblower Chelsea Manning to get the electric chair!!

To be fair to the community at large, his comments have gone down about as well as you would hopefully imagine ☘️

When I lived in Ireland, there was a tv advert that said that everyone has to have a TV licence, and that this included everyone, even the Poles! Jeez, that was from the government!
 
Talksport are going to have a debate about bringing in VAR now due to decisions this weekend...They named City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs benefiting from bad decisions.
Does anyone know what Spurs decision we benefited from?
The only controversy in our match I remember was the appalling tackle on Moura going unpunished.

The Spanner disallowed goal.
That Twatkinson did not send off any Spurs players for anything.
That Spurs have played yet another away PL game.

< just off the top of my head >
 
The Spanner disallowed goal.

That would presumably be the "goal" that was clearly offside, where the whistle blew before he "scored" it, and Hugo didn't appear to go for because he heard the whistle.

Compare that to the fact that Citeh appear to be immune to red cards, or Liverpool must be given game changing decisions every other game and it doesn't quite stack up. Oh, and you can add the penalty not given against Arsenal yesterday as well.

Incidentally I heard on H&J yesterday (one of the only Talkshite shows worth listening to) the retired ref whose name escapes me, say that for a penalty the "unnatural position" of the hand isn't a thing, only the intent to handle is a thing. Well can't comment on the letter of the law but can say for certain that's not how the law is interpreted - unless it's for the benefit of certain teams of course. Can you imagine a defender on the line has a ball blasted against his arm - which stops the ball going in - but it's not in an unnatural position - but that is not given as a penalty?
