    Some of you will blame anyone except the true culprits of Spurs problems.

    Just as a reminder, this was a straight red. Ironic.

    While this wasn't:


    Luis Suarez was never sent off in the Premier League.

    Jeez I remember that game. He could have got three red cards in that game alone. Bad tempered encounter it was and probably the first time Michael Oliver went public with his previously hidden Pool bias.

    Maybe you could enlighten us then!! Across the board I would have thought that just about everyone has been been given a share of the blame

    All the talk of where we rank for late winners and late losers this season, but no talk about where we rank on Saltypool Players Who Should've Been Sent Off Scoring Late Winners Against Us

    Didn't Balotelli do the same after using Scott Parker as a door mat away at city ?

    I blame our players for not kicking up a fuss and surrounding the referee and intimidating him tbh

    We are too soft

    should be up the refs arse

    Should push a few opponents too

    Make the ref do some work for his incompetent observations

    I adhere to the rugby ethos that only the team
    captain +/- his offending team ,members should
    be in front of the ref.

    If I was a manager, I would demand the right to
    financially penalise any of my players who do
    the contrary.


    "should be up the refs arse

    Should push a few opponents too"

    If you want "performance art" you can have
    team members go steaming in but be physically
    restrained by team-mates well before being near
    the ref or opposition players.

    It sows the seed in the refs' mind that things may
    escalate quickly and badly if they do not begin
    dishing out cards correctly etc.

    I’ll give you a clue, it’s not the refs or any agenda by the PL

    You think the ref did well yesterday?
    Did anyone claim it was a PL agenda?
    The data are entirely consistent with us not having any problems anyway in the sense that not having as much income as some of our competitors fully explains our lack of success. So I wouldn't be looking for anyone to blame.

    Can’t wait to hear your excuse when Spurs finish below Brighton and Villa. Won’t have your trusty old income excuse then.

    It's all about the money money money <laugh>

    Remember when the extra income from the fantastic new stadium was going to propel you forward? (not you but some on here), now it seems it either doesn't exist (ENIC pockets) or that wasn't the problem.
