LRD Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 It's so clearly deliberate. And you don't have to look at someone directly to do something. Someone could elbow you without looking straight at you man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 MAckems 2 up, trading places again may be a distinct possibility going off this. I was relatively optimistic at that we would be comfortably safe this season, if this is any indication, then that's way way off. We may be bottom of the league when this is over, and we may not move from there. Huddersfield is a horrible fixture up next, being their first home game and on the back of a great performance against palace, it's doubly hard now after losing 3 players here. Jesus christ. Playing the 2nd best team in the country as a newly promoted side, after a first half in which we lost 2 of the starting 11 then got a red card later in the game..

LV Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Game looked a mismatch from the start but not helped by that moron getting sent off. We are going to struggle with this championship team. Absolutely zero going forward. Just a case of trying to keep the score as low as possible. Massive let down. I think it would still be 0-0 if Shelvey hadn't have got himself sent off. We were doing pretty well until then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We have no player of outstanding ability. This is going to be one very tough season where we will be at the bottom fighting to stay up all season long. Thanks Mike you fat cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 1 shot on target, never even tried to score. We didn't have time in the second half to give it a go, that dumb fuck Shelvey got sent off first. Pardew style tactic that. Why not try in the first half? It's not tactics though, it's players. No creativity. It's both. Really poor allround. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think Shelvey has been sent off on reputation alone. Honestly think it's just an accident. Alli rolling round like f***ing Max Whitlock has made the refs mind up Might need to face the TV mate to be honest. So you know he deliberately trod on his ankle then? Despite him not looking in that direction? He was trying to do,it under the radar man ffs. That's why he wasn't looking at it directly. So people/the ref then are saying it's deliberate on reputation then? That's kind of my whole point. Did he deliberately pretend it was an accident or was it an accident? Why didn't he take his foot away when he felt Alli's ankle under him? Maybe he didn't feel it? I don't know. Bearing in mind Shelvey was consoling Alli when he was trying to get the ball. Again had that been let's say Gary Lineker in the same situation as Shelvey, would the punishment be the same? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No creativity. We didn't defend hopelessly like we did under Pardew, though. There was some semblance of control in our defending. Can't overreact to this, Spurs hammer teams so often and we looked all right before Shelvey fucked up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Really not sure what people expecting. Spurs have been the best team in the league over the last seasons and they created fuck all in the first half. Could easily have come away with a point but for Shelvey's idiocy.
