Hey, wasn't trying to slag him or anything - just saying there are different standards, very different standards for our players and using him as an example for someone who was a bit below the radar, yet doesn't attract a bad word from anyone. Nor should he.
Some of the criticism for Eriksen, Sissoko and in particular Son and Janssen is completely out of order, when considering how they actually perform. They are rarely much worse than other of our regulars this season.
FTIW I think he did well to win the penalty, far far worse dives the last couple of weeks

Only messing but you can listen to the twat on 'Drive', 5-7 PM weekdays
Lucky you.
Did Dele dive? Yes.
Do I give a shit? No.
That should be most Spurs fans thoughts really. Diving isn't going anywhere and never will. I'm not saying embrace it but eventually we'll get done over by an oppo player diving and we'll get fucked over and as surely as Bob is you're uncle, this shit will level out. Just got to learn to live with it.
Christ, we've had our fair share of nonsense decisions fall against us (Mendes, Nani etc.) that a little luck our way should be welcomed.
What does annoy me is the ''there's contact, therefore it's a foul'' viewpoint. Football is not non-contact.

Not sure why you would view it as luck. Fortune had nothing to do with it. IMHO
A tosser like you Mick!
Hear hear
Luck in regards to the ref assessing the situation incorrectly. Dele was lucky not to be booked and we were lucky to get the pen.
Very little mention on here of how bad the atmosphere was on Saturday. The performance certainly wasn't an excuse. The kick-off time certainly wasn't an excuse (3 pm Saturday should help the atmosphere). Was the first time this season I've managed to get a ticket in the PL lower (block 34) and it was absolutely dead around me.
So what do you think happened? Something to do with the ballot system? The shit away support? Our form?

Worst atmosphere of the season. Fair few empty seats arround the ground especially Park Lane upper and West Upper. Noticed some of the Park Lane upper filled after about 30 mins but still many sests not taken. Just think people couldn't be arsed as it was Swansea as at no point before, during and after did it get going. Not one goal was celabrated with a yiddo.
As you mentioned the Swansea lot were shite as well, on par with Fulham away support.
I think it shows that we are going to struggle with support issues for a few years with Wembley and the new Stadium. It is no surprise as I can remember when we were rebuilding one of the stands and only had 3 sides. It just was not the same.
May be reading to much into it. Been going for 40yrs now and every single year in that time there have been shit atmospheres. Same for every other club too, can't think of another club where the support rocks for every game of the season.
