The comment about Tomiyasu and Tierney physically intimidating us in particular is absolutely laughable. Decent enough players but they couldn't physically intimidate a baby deer.

Arsenal have no physically intimidating players in the entire squad beyond maybe Partey. That's one area where we're absolutely miles ahead of them.

Just checked and as I thought - Tomiyasu did play against us in the 3-0 in May.

  • Tottenham's defending for both goals, man. Schoolboy stuff
  • Chelsea are much better today than I thought they would be.
  • Think it's Spurs just bottling it man. Very unimpressed with them.
  • Perennial legends
  • Kulusevski has been surprisingly shit today, lost the ball in key areas
  • Spurs need a real #10 for game like this. Someone to receive it and spray it somewhere to relieve pressure.
  • What the hell happened to Harry Kane?What a farce
  • Love that Romero. A cracking defender and a massive shithouse.
  • You can just haul players down by their hair now apparently. Some woeful officiating in this match
  • Oh god i love this
  • Haha, fiiiiight you fackin caaaants
  • Outstanding footall
  • What is it with German football managers and being complete creeps
  • Those two managers are proper angry bastards
  • Completely lost his head afterward marking no one when Kane scored
  • :lol: Souness casually commenting that "It's a man's game again"... Absolute cretin. “No one throwing themselves to the floor”. Apart from Kane amongst others. Fucking whopper.
  • First 2 weeks of Premier League have been fantastic. Full of entertainment
  • Conte would batter Tuchel
  • Conte would bite Tuchel's nose off within 15 seconds. TKO

I'm sorry but how was the first one supposed to have been ruled out? Bentancur got the ball, then Mendy can see the ball and HE doesn't claim offside himself.

The second one, the corner would have continued any way and Romero didn't score it.

Bitter ****s.

Maybe it's to do with fan base size, but how come when marginal decisions go in our favour against teams like Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool (which we know is extremely rare), there is massive outroar from ex players, pundits, Sky Sports highlight it for 12 hours a day, claim corruption, start petitions etc.

But when things like that happen to us, which is far more common, it's ALWAYS swept under the rug, nobody talks about it, we just have to accept it and move on?! It's infuriating and smacks of double standards across the industry.

Come on, it could have easily been given offside. It is however a very inconsistent rule and rarely applied. We got the decisions yesterday but who cares, take the point and move onto the next one.

  • The joys of being small-time Charlies. All the while the gap between their last title & the Chixulub comet impact gets closer in age
A fascinating take on the empty trophy cabinet joke. Albeit wrongly spelled and also completely wrong. Confusingly enough, every time we get a year further from our last title - we also get a year further from the Chicxulub crater.

Not to mention their celebrations at the last battle of the bridge when they got the 2-2 draw that probably put the last nail on our title chances.
Are we getting to the point where we are not allowed to celebrate anything. I wouldn’t buy a season ticket if I had to just sit there and shut up in a sterile atmosphere (heaven forbid might as well support Woolwich).
Tw*ts!.

I don't know the nuance of this rule, but he was in-line with the defender, Mendy's view would have been blocked regardless

RIcharlison is in Mendy's line of sight but because there is a big distance between where the ball is struck - to Richarlison - and then to Mendy....there was deemed to be adequate view for Mendy.

Its the distance...that's the pertinent detail in this judgement.

And it was the correct call and rightly stood.

Goalkeepers get enough OTT protection.

Mendy needs to anticipate better and expect the shot to come across goal.

It's poor goal keeping really imo. He definitely has some view of PEH lining it up and striking it.

Hand ball and/or offside.

Ball bounced around and hit someone's arm from close range (won't be given) and Richarlison standing offside (not making any attempt to play the ball)

The commentator irritated with his 'Chelsea stopped Spurs winning the league' after the Battle of the Bridge .

Its become a myth .

Once more , we could have won vs Chelski 10-0 and we would have not won the title. Leicester sped off to the finish.

Trueish, but a win may have put pressure on them for the next game.

Just look at the pressure on the Scum last year against Newcastle after we beat them. They folded dramatically.

That point is irrelevant imo. It would be like saying that in the forest game, the hand ball shouldn't have been given because the keeper would've saved it anyway.

It's a pretty vague rule and I'm not entirely sure what it is any more, but to say it's definitely not offside is too matter of fact because Richy is stood in an offside position, not far from where the keeper would is looking.

Either way, who cares, glad to get the decisions yesterday.

I think the goal was correctly allowed, but this doesn’t prove it. He can see the ball when it’s struck but after it’s travelled about a yard he would be unsighted (ie when you as a keeper are trying to pick up the direction. Koubaily was blocking him by this point though
