Yeh it was a real shame that.... oh well moving on (if you all haven't already). There is a much bigger game on Saturday to look forward to. The ref had better give us the penalties when Hazard gets hacked down!
well, you said it... not me! seriously, do you know how many penalty shouts he's been involved in so far? as well as how many you've won from him? and has he scored any of them? everything I hear about Hazard has something to do with a great performance, but always has something to do with a penalty attached to it!!
The official team news is fantastic we've only got two long-termers now BAE should train next week, and JAke and KN are in contention already it seems http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/spurs/News/team-news-18102012.page? That's a helluva squad to choose from, here's hoping AVB picks a winning combo
Decisions go for and against teams all the time. The 2-1 defeat to Spurs in 2006 where we had JT sent off for no reason and a goal disallowed for no reason (Poll) The 2-1 defeat to Spurs in 2010 where we had a penalty wrongly given against us. The 1-1 draw in 2010 when Spurs scored from an offside position and then Gomes getting a yellow card for denying a goal scoring opportunity. There's been an element of poor officiating in most Chelsea v Spurs games of late but let's not pretend its all been one way
Hazard is an extremely gifted and skillful player. It's not his fault that he causes defenders to make stupid challenges. Against Wigan it was penalty and we got it. Against Reading it was a penalty and we got it. Against QPR we blatantly got taken out by SWP but ref gave nothing. Same against Norwich. He is a fantastic player and it's not his fault!
Bale is the same but you lot call him a diver,so judging by what you've said,your wrong,Bale does'nt dive,but then we knew that
Are you having a laugh, DL? You've had two goals incorrectly given against us when the ball hasn't crossed the line in two consecutive seasons. One of them was in a game when you won 2-1 and the other goal was offside and the scorer spent the entire move in an offside position. Terry got sent off deservedly against us twice and seemed to say something to Ledley King which incensed the black players around him in the first instance, for some reason. Can't think what brought that on... The 1-1 draw which you mention also featured a handball for your goal by the previously mentioned Ivorian and the Gomes yellow was because the ball was going well wide. The penalty in the 2-1 was also clearly a penalty, as Terry handballed it. Pure garbage.
You beat me to it PNP!! Frankly DL, surprised you would want to make mention of the Terry sending off when everyone but the FA appeared to know what sparked it. What goes around, comes around, so they say!!
I'm sorry mate but I know Bale is a top player. He is impossible to play against. The thing is Hazard doesn't dive. That dive against Villa was shocking and not something Hazard has done. Also that dive against Scotland is something Hazard hasn't done. Hazard has gone down every time due to there being a fair bit of contact. Hazard hasn't dived when no one has touched him...
Well certainly the one against Villa. I do understand though that if you're running at a very fast pace that the slightest of contact can be enough to knock you over. I know this myself as a lightening quick right winger
But his one against Villa was still shocking... if you're gunna dive then at least make it a good one! (I do not condone diving)... No I always try to stay on my feet tbh. Though in our last match I did go down a bit easily to win the free kick that we scored the winner from *ahem*
Whan i played full back and the winger was a Known diver,i made sure he went down,in the first few minutes
I'm not sure really... erm... I just saw you were from the next town down the line (I'm in GX)... erm... Are you going to the game and if so how do you normally get to WHL from where we are based?
