Absolute joke
so the refs have robbed barca and now the ref is robbing spurs. not been a good day for you has it.

I'm not even being biased either. Barca stonewall penalty and onside goal waved off. Spurs, I don't mind Mike Dean calling that a penalty on Spurs but if you're doing that then call it on the other end too, there is no doubt about it.

Been an awful day. Waiting for Madrid to rob the Madrid derby to top it off

In what world is that Janssen hold a penalty and then that one on Kane just now not?

Chalk up another

by Jay29 Sat Nov 19, 2016 2:13 pm

Shirt pulling in the penalty area is the most inconsistently applied rule in football. Refs are very selective about which they punish and which they don't.

Dean has given eight pens for shirt pulling this season, far more than any other ref, yet likely still far less than the number of shirt pulling incidents that went unpunished.

on the kane one they were both grabbing and pulling. the janssen one he was doing all the grabbing.

Great Leader Sprucenuce wrote:Yeah but consistently he's not playing instead of Silva if he were to play so your argument is moot.

He'd play instead of De Bruyne or someone else in a deeper role, and his laziness across the board would be a big factor.

Also it's not bullshit, don't change history because he happened to score today he's a lazy albeit talented pos who has cost City games defensively many, many times since the season where he was unplayable and scored 20+ goals.

One of the most annoying things about the internet is how people tend to forget everything that has happened when one positive thing happens and throw everything else out the window like it never happened.

Come on, if any other midfielder - or even a striker - was coming on to play his first game of the season and scored two goals - his team's only goals - we'd be hailing his impact in unison. But because he's supposedly been in the naughty corner for non-football reasons we are supposed to play cool his impact? Get real eco smile

Sure, he's not defensively the best midfielder, but when's that become so overrated anyway? Midfield workhorses like Ramires and Paulinho are applying their trade in f***ing China nowadays Laughing

While Yaya just coolly steps in and wins a Premier League game for Man City. Against none else but the genius Pardew no less smoking

by Jay29 Sat Nov 19, 2016 2:21 pm

So I switched over to BVB/Bayern for a minute and come back to find Spurs have equalised and have a penalty.

wtf West Ham?

by McLewis Sat Nov 19, 2016 2:21 pm

3-2.....dat comeback.

by Unique Sat Nov 19, 2016 2:22 pm

Good game though. Both teams were definitely up for it at least.

by Unique Sat Nov 19, 2016 2:30 pm

god I hope this spurs team never win the title. the most boring team ive seen in a long long time.

by RealGunner Sat Nov 19, 2016 2:31 pm

Pochettino is a top manager man. Definitely at Madrid in the next 2-3 years and then Argentina by 2026 WC

spurs under poch are the baby brothers to the Chelsea team under mourinho.

Love Pool fans selective memory. Spurs were the most entertaining team in the league last season. That's not me saying that, that was the collective opinion during the season.

Spurs haven't been great this season, I don't think anyone is denying that, but when Spurs are fit and able to play their best XI, there is no denying Spurs are one of the most entertaining teams in the league.

Regardless, gotta thank you Unique. You rightly pointed out my frustration and bad luck today and reverse jinxed the result :bow:

Nah Perez won't let him go away. Either him or Tuchel.

by CBarca Sat Nov 19, 2016 3:00 pm

Good result today yeah but Spurs have still been a bit underwhelming this season.

The performance this game wasn't even that great. I disagreed with the lineup from the start but credit to Poch he changed the lineup, adapted, and Spurs won because of the subs.
