we will definitely get a humongous fine though.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
I'm not even complaining about what we did as players or a club, i'm only going by what charges have been issued.
One is 3 counts of failing to control players and Dembele eye gouging.
It was mentioned that no one club has been charged with 3 offences of failing to control players in a single game.
Moose has until Thursday to appeal. The club until Monday. I guess it all depends on what we chose to do.
Yeah, I'm not sure how much we can be blamed for 'not controlling our players' if it's the Chelsea lot who immediately surround our guys. In fact, when you watch that one back Dier is trying to walk away from the huddle the whole time.
And we haven't even discussed the fact that the trouble after the final whistle is very hard to find the origin of... Didn't that guy in the Independent seem to think that Fabregas instigated it?
I guess that remains to be seen as they have only said 3 offences.. I don't think they have said which 3, although I think that one was at the final whistle and one in the tunnel but that's only how I see it.
One good thing is we have the best lawyers at our club and Levy will be working on this as we speak.
So true lol.
This video has been taken down. There is a clear moment on it when Costa puts his head into vert- its a head butt.
Wheres the footage now?
Video on post 1483 above at 1.15 and ref saw it, a clear head butt.
on 6.5 Hazard raises a hand onto masons face-the ref sees it again.

Exactly! Which I found so weird when the FA said none of the match officials saw it.Another thing that also doesn't sit write with me on the Dembele thing is that in order for a retrospective ban is that the officials have to say they didn't see it:
We can't take this charge lying down.
Fuck the FA. We should sue them.
All the cunt behavior Chelsea continue to get away with is embarrassing. I hope Levy hires a bunch of lawyers and eviscerates them.
Get Fabregas, Costa, Hazard banned. Chelsea fined for continuing the despicable tactics.

I suppose it all comes down to what the FA plan on issuing as punishment: we could plead guilty and hope for leniency on all charges so long as we don't suspect there'd be a points reduction attached.
Any fine they throw our way would be irrelevant compared to that.
Linesmans blind apparently so he definitely didn't see it, he uses echo location to figure out whoses offside.
No way on earth can you say he didn't see it. What Dembele did was virtually identical to Torres on Verts who didn't get banned and like that incident it was clearly seen. If he gets a massive ban say 10 games we would have huge grounds for appeal. The officials are clearly lying and it would be over the top punishment.
Like I say, apparently the rules have changed since the Torres offence. It remains to be seen what their new punishment policy is.
The officials clearly saw it so they will need to say why they didn't act there and then.
Clatenburg is the golden boy so the FA will protect him if possible.
It's not like the FA haven't fucked us over before...

And not only is Southampton in form, they'll actively want to get one over on us for nicking Pochettino.
They charged us away at West Brom in December.
Yes agree. THFC should seek legal advice and dig in and fight. The ref must take some responsibility and be questioned.
There was one guy, in his 50s out cold on the bridge over the railway, blood coming out of his mouth, and the police trying to wake him. From what I saw they had a fella that I assume was the suspect up against the bridge wall. Must have happened 5 or so seconds before we got to that point on the bridge. No idea who supported who, and it was packed, so I expect some others saw it also.
I wouldn't play to much attention to that wagner clip, he does them for cash, like a shit vine prostitute.

I have had that feeling for a very long time - credit to Spurs to achieve 2nd with hostile reffing all season.
From Premier League website;
Most fouls committed;
1. Crystal Palace 448
2. Tottenham 439
3. Man.Utd 436
------
18. West Spam 353
19. Bournemouth 348
20 Woolwich 328
Therefore despite Spurs playing clearly the best, most attractive football in the PL, we are one of the dirtiest teams in the PL, and Sky's most shown team Woolwich the cleanest. Tells a story on it's own....
