So.. .you mean, . We're playing badly.
Ergh this game
We’re levels better than them but we’ll still lose
There is no god

are we? bookies actually have them favourite for this so they dont see it that way. 23/20---19/10 probably wouldnt be too different if we was at home.
We are much better than them, the bookies have it like that because we historically lose there every season
Chelsea could be in the conference and we’d draw them in the fa cup and they’d beat us, it’s just how it is

i think i see earlier that our last 20 league games is mid table form...so im not sure we are levels above them. to be fair it might as well be all comps cos we did well in the cups didnt we.

I agree completely that confirmation bias is a thing, because it just is. Some referees probably do have subjective bias, due to, tribalism, human nature, media influences, whatever, not irrational at all.
So ignoring conspiracies, since you and others are completely dismissive that there is something suspect with Premier League refereeing. What are your thoughts on the standard of Premier League refereeing?
I can give you Howard Webb’s thoughts on Michael Oliver ignoring Ben Davies being kicked in the dick resulting in VAR intervention “I know Michael [Oliver] will be really disappointed. He had a really good game. He's one of our top referees, he's one of the top referees in the world,"
We aren't better at all and this is one of our jinx matches.
We have to finish 5th that's it.
Then we go again next season but fron jury being very much in, it's back out (for me) on Postecoglou.
Our form for the last 3 months hasn't been good enough, and since Villa away it's been so disappointing . No dressing it up.
We lose Thursday and the big surprise is if we don't.

Interesting to see the form table.
Chelsea last 6 lost 1
Spurs last 6 lost 3
Chelsea. Last 10 lost 1.
Spurs last 10 lost 4
They have solved a few problems. We have hit a wall / dip. Their main issue is still having a decent CF.
But I think Thursday we will play into their hand’s if we keep putting both FBs into their area at the same time, midfield is just not clicking for us at the moment. Palmer has the quality to hurt any team if he plays.

Talking of conspiracies, anyone remember when Romero grabbed cucurella's hair locks and hauled him to the ground right in front of the referee.
He ignored it, so did VAR, and we scored from the resulting corner depriving them of 3 points
That was so funny.

So you’re saying it’s time a cock up went our way?
Maybe our turn has come around again, let’s hope so.
This game was a prime example of awful officiating. Twattenberg should have booked a couple of Chelsea players early doors for bad challenges but lets them off, which winds up our players despite us playing well. The result of that was our second half performance. Had the ref done his job properly from the first minute we probably win that game. Instead he loses control of the game resulting in what we saw.
It's amazing but do other fans worry about our players, with any justification? Hard to believe they do. Certainly little need.
We are absolutely a team who never seem to find players who play consistently well. Astonishing.
We are the gift that keeps giving. No change tomorrow. The one constant.

I think you're finally getting it mate
Nope, because you think it's just about money or ENIC and Levy, whereas I see it as a startling inability to have high level consistency.
It's simply perplexing to me but largely in my opinion about getting certain types of player.
Sunday was a perfect example. Gifts and lacking the obvious striker.
I want Postecoglou to succeed but he needs to be doing better with the resources. You can't have our start and seek to explain how average we have become, regardless of the clear need for 2/3 players.
Last 5 games - Chavs have 8 points, Spurs have 7.
Last 10 games - Chavs 17, Spurs 16.
Last 15 - Chavs 26, Spurs 24.
Last 20 - Chavs 32, Spurs 34.
Last 25 - Chavs 37, Spurs 40.
Looks pretty close to me. If we didn’t start the season they way we did, we’d be around the same PPG as them.
I don't necessarily disagree with your reservations and frustrations with Postie, but it happens with every manager we appoint...EVERY. SINGLE. ONE
Who didn't secure the obvious striker you say we're missing?
Who appoints all these managers that keep letting you down?
Where does this weak mentality and culture of losing that you find so frustrating come from?
Listen, mate. You keep aiming your anger and frustration at everything and everyone apart from the one obvious issue that's staring you in the face.
Apologies, I misunderstood your previous post. I thought the penny had finally dropped
