    Long John Silver would've made a better ref than the ****e we are expected to accept as the cream of the crop, and he's not even real

    BBC radio London usually do good commentary on Spurs games.
    So if you can play them while muting your TV audio, all good.

    The quality of refereeing is laughable, this weekend (like most weekends), we have seen a number of shocking on-field decisions upheld by shocking VAR decisions at least your VAR got him to look, but from what you say he clearly needed convincing. If these are really are the best we have; Taylor is going to WC for FFS ; then pot is truly empty.

    The defender did commit a foul, but Bamford committed one first.
    Should've been a free-kick to Arsenal and a red card for Gabriel for kicking out.
    It was similar to the Son/Rudiger incident in that regard.

    The disallowed goal was insanely soft, though.
    Paul Tierney is Kieran's dad.

    Are you going to mention this on every occasion he's involved in one of your games or one of our games? <laugh>
    If he changed his surname, would that put you at ease?

    It's an unusual surname and he's ****ing ****. It's the best explanation! <laugh>
    He'd probably change it to Xhaka instead.

    How's the **** involved in both games in two days, anyway?
    Probably requested it, the bent little ****.

    Kroos seemingly agrees. Top 3 overall might be a bit of a stretch (for now) but currently a top 3 midfielder I think would definitely be fair. The other two being de Bruyne and Hojbjerg of course <whistle>

    Brunel, yes I would have preferred a Leeds win of course but I was making what I thought was an objective assessment. What I had not taken into account were rule changes. So I was out of touch rather than biased :emoticon-0104-surpr

    Why is obstruction never called in soccer?


    In a longwindedness drive, the offence 'obstruction' was removed from Fifa's Laws of the Game in 1997 and was replaced with “impeding the progress of an opponent.”

    So now a player has to move into the way of player when neither are in reach of the ball.

    But at the same time I was hearing this morning on the radio that Joe Gomez should as a result of yesterday's match be a starter for England. Yes, not just make the squad but start. Based on this one match. Actually I do want him to be in the squad, so that he can twat Sterling, and see how TalkShite make excuses for him doing that. But I suspect it won't work if it's the other way round.

    More the Irish diaspora, really. The US, Canada, Australia and Scotland.
    Wigan and the Isle of Man is too close for comfort, for me.
    Ban them both, just in case. Better to be safe than sorry and all that.

    If City and Liverpool fans could stop acting like ****s, then that'd be great.
    Attacking the team bus, chucking coins at Guardiola and chanting about Hillsborough?
    **** off, the both of you.

    See, this is the sort of thing that I was talking about the other day.
    Kids and their parents see this on TV and it becomes part of what coaches and players do.
    Some poor volunteer down the local park then gets it in the neck from a twat in a hat.

    Klopp should get a proper ban for that - a 3 match stadium ban, his conduct is completely unacceptable A line must be drawn in the sand - The authorities must make an example of him and following it with similar bans for any manager who does the same in the future and Klopp (and all managers) should be told that if they do it again the ban is doubled each time.

    It could well do so (will be intently watching the
    Klipperty FT handshake with Conte after the next
    time Spurs play the Poool) ...

    Equally based on his performance yesterday Anthony Taylor should be given a couple of weeks off
