I know you already do a prediction league, but I think there should be a separate challenge to guess what minute ManU will get their penalty. I know it's not easy to judge, it depends on whether they need one. So I say that if they're not in the lead by half time, they'll get a pen in the 60th minute (unless they've scored by then of course), although they might get one anyway.
 
If we had some proper referring in the Sheffield game we wouldn't be having this discussion at all. Much of this is about coming to terms with losing a game and pointing the disappointment at Levy or the Manager.
 
When the blame should really be laid at the football authorities and their crazy rule changes. Slowly they are ****ing up football so for me it's pointless having a go at our management. Point your gun at the real issues.

Was a shocking decision but nobody can deny that Spurs were second best in pretty much every area in the match

That’s fine if you’re playing a top side but not when you’re playing Sheffield United

I don't agree, the first half we dominated. Kane put the ball in the net 3 times. I think you are looking at the result and not the play. Spurs were clearly the better team in the first half. It's not a coincidence that Sheffield started using rough house tactics, they were getting dominated. The second half is influenced by the two ridiculous decisions The goals they scored were largely because of lack of concentration and maybe complacency as Sheffield had shown little attacking prowess. The ease with which they scored shows that.
I think we will see in the remaining games that Spurs have a good side and we will get some good results but in a stop start season like this consistency is very hard to come by and no team has shown it. Not one team that I can think of. Just look at the results in the PL since the resumption, all the teams above us have lost where you might expect them to win and won where you might expect them to lose. Only Manchester United can make a case for looking 'improved' the rest, like Spurs are just in and out.

Who had 35 minutes?
 
Wigan sale looking very dodgy:

Lots of rumours about betting and corruption. A sad situation for the club and fans.

This is an absolute disgrace and the EFL should be held to account for allowing these purchases to go ahead or are they in on the corruption as well
If this is proven that Wigan have been conned then the points should not be deducted and those found guilty banned from football for life

Is this similar to what happened to Brighton when the corrupt owner sold the site for a Sainsbury Supermarket.?
