It’s a shame as City are so strong from all the financial doping however if it wasn’t for a catastrophic bottling from the gooners last season they could have beat them to it!This is the first year, I haven't put a bet on Spurs to win the title.
Probably shouldn't jinx it now!
It might be timewasting, but it's not wasting time - ask Zomb , he knows.
It's not just time wasting, it's breaking the flow of the game.
TBH, I didn't hear it, thought the trumpet at the beginning was brilliant, really got the crowd going for the first rendition of 'Oh When The Spurs' - goosebumps
We’re you on the East Hertford train?
That may have been the key to it - I only saw that it was actually a foul on the 3rd video angle (the first 2 clips didn't look like a foul). Maybe VAR, keen to make a quick decision, only looked at the first 2 angles? Once again, we need more transparency on these incorrect decisions, but we're not getting it.
He seems an absolute wanker tbh. Hope they get relegated.
They don't!“Thanks roy but I can't bring myself to look. I'm going to guess much like City, they're another set of fans that firmly believe that the only teams that should be allowed to be promoted are the ones that agree to just bend over and graciously get mullered, that it's just not on for teams with a fraction of the money try and play football that suits their strengths.
Again, I'd be just making the comments up.
"Pleased we won. Couldn't get to the game, I was at a wine party but I checked the score and was so upset, I nearly couldn't finish my prawn sandwich. Anyway, good job we did. On the Mighty Spurs what what"
I didn’t know they had fucking prawn sandwiches!

When you think how VAR intervened to give the penalty against Sonny v Brentford , how they didn’t give the one for Maddison yesterday is beyond me .
This comes from a manager who's lucky his team didn't get 3 penalties against them and were time-wasting from the very beginning of the game...

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom launched a furious tirade at Premier League referees, claiming the officials told him to 'play long' rather than let goalkeeper Wes Foderingham take his time to pass out from the back.
Referee Peter Bankes flourished 13 yellow cards as the Blades lost late at Tottenham, seven for Heckingbottom's team including two for Ollie McBurnie, who was dismissed in the 14th minute of added time and will be banned for the next game, against Newcastle.
'Something needs to be done now,' fumed Heckingbottom. 'The referees are killing the game, absolutely ruining it. This is not me moaning about the result. I said it at half-time and when we were 1-0 up as well.
Rumour is Heckingbottom's on his way very soon. Judging by the way he got his team playing and his post-match interview yesterday, I'd say good riddance. What is he, David Moyes' lovechild? People like him ruin football.This comes from a manager who's lucky his team didn't get 3 penalties against them and were time-wasting from the very beginning of the game...

Don’t hold your breath , its ingrained in them , tossers !
I think when we are creating chances but getting frustrated, I notice fans and players appeal for everything including some quite spurious claims. I think this counts against us when a genuine claim like Sons trip comes along. I don't think this applies just to us. A bit like the boy who cried wolf. Still a shit decision though.
