I have a sneaking feeling that today's anti-Lovren sentiments might just be put in the shade next week!
Only just seen the Bmouth penalty incident, without doubt the worst refereeing decision I've ever seen in all my years watching football.
We got over Pochettino and we will get over Koeman. The difference is that Koeman lied in English....Mauricio pretended he didn't speak English so he could lie easier. In the end, we move on.
You said it yourself Fran about the Lovren stuff, everyone needs a pantomime villain, and they don't come more loathsome than het liegen gember nederlander.
I know they took Poch, Hoddle, Toby, Big Vic, Dean Richards, and that bloke what did some scouting stuff. But that's just football. And the Ronny Rosenthal thing was over 20 years ago now. So I really try hard not to hate Spurs. I've got no issue with Arsenal (despite them pinching our kids), Man Utd, Chelsea or anyone really. So I always wonder why Spurs grate me so much. But seeing their fans' reactions to the West Ham game kind of makes it all clear now. I have about 4-5 Spurs supporting mates on Facebook, so this is the source of my observations. I'm so glad I haven't been on any Spurs forum. It's like they have won the Champions League final ffs, and all the time they are mocking the Hammers fans because this fixture is supposedly 'their cup final' (if you follow me). I don't mind a bad loser, but there is nothing worse than a bad winner. And I know they are rivals, fair do's. A rivalry definitely requires some pre-match banter (preferably original and witty), and what goes on inside the stadium is fuelled by passion and fear etc, so it's excusable. But I still have Spurs fans, almost 48 hours later, gloating all over my feed about 'forever bursting bubbles' and various other crap. It is very, VERY cringey. Almost as cringey as the fact that they make a huge song and dance about having an academy product in their team ('He's one of our own' etc - yes, I've noticed Saints' fans copying ). Anyway I think it's safe to say, it's okay to bloody hate them with a passion all over again, yay!!!!
Whatever the result between WBA and Burnley tonight, Saints will drop a place. I guess a draw will be best, though I don't expect either team to finish above Saints eventually. To state the obvious, we need to start getting wins....it's tight down here and the gap is widening to the top.
It's in a spur's fans DNA to be a berk, making any defeat they suffer all the more sweet! Just remember the meltdown against Chelsea last season. Absolutely comical!
Is there a club that's moved ground without a minimum season or two in the doldrums afterwards? Offhand, I can't think of one. Vin
Not giving that decision was the equivalent of running someone over on your driving test, wacking it in reverse and going over them again just to make sure. Shocking.

On the whole, even if I was a Liverpool fan, I'd trade the lack of a penalty over the drive test tragedy every time.
