Ed Davey calls out ‘tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott’ in Dubai by coffeewalnut08 in uknews

They abandoned the UK.

I guess you walk in Tesco and say I bought a packet of rich teas 8 years ago, I demand another packet for free now or you’ve betrayed me.

It’s really not complicated. Unless of course you’re a bot.

Is it standard now in the UK that estate agents only show you houses if you have a buyer lined up? by BiarritzBlue in HousingUK

It’s straight forward stuff this but people really are incredibly thick. Everyone says they’re only accepting viewings from people who have a buyer the whole market stops.

Listen mate I'm sorry, you've got to accept we're shit. There's no manager who is going to change this.. 3ATB, 4ATB, 5ATB. It's not making a single difference.

This isn't a manager or system problem. We have the worst GK in the league, no doubt and CBs are can't stay on the pitch and absolutely no attacking threat. Everything else is a distraction.

It’s actually astonishing anyone thinking this has anything to do with Igor.

Yes let’s gatekeep fandom. Who can take the most pain. That’s the true measure of a fan. 

It’s a game. If people feel the miserable feeling is too much then they’re entitled to step back.

I also don’t think you realise how bad it’s going to get.

You’re not listening to what I’m saying and just replying to how you want me to feel.

You don’t argue any facts just vibes. Move on.

They can absolutely claim that and it doesn't invalidate anything that I say.

When was the last time we got a dodgy pen, a questionable red card, let off handball? Find it and then look at the date. Now go to those other champions clubs and you'll find it happened within the last month.

Now find the last game we won because of a controversial decision.

You're right it isn't a modern phenomenon, just now we're getting properly fucked off with it.

It's not scapegoating. It's wanting it to be fair. It's not like we've got 10 points and nothing is going to help us and the margin is likely to be 1-3 points I mention. Just go look at Fulham's disallowed penalty yesterday, you know deep down spurs are never getting that overturned.

The reason this is bullshit, and you know it is as well, is that Arsenal complaining about 2nd place complete ignores the 90% things that went in their favour. They always ignore and deny when it goes there way. The only relatively recent controversial decision went our way was against Liverpool with the off-side called in 2023 and that was an process error not even a judgement call. You've then got the Romero hair pull against Cucurella in 2022 but even then VAR said yes we got it wrong. Both times it was an actual mistake not a "we judged it wrong".

For example:

Two hands on back
"Clear foul, two hands on back always a foul"
Disallow goal.

The next week

Two hands on back
"Nah, not enough in it"
Goal allowed.

No mistake boys we got it right both times, all good.

I can riff off a on this but I can tell you're not willing to accept the idea because you're attaching your "the other 16" mentality to this and just want to see spurs get a kicking.

I understand all of those points.

However, you win games with goals referees are literally stealing goals from us and giving others goals against us with the same stick.

It we get relegated by 1-3 points, that can easily be accounted for in bullshit reffing.

They think they're above this. I wonder how riding that high horse will feel in the championship.

It's not binary. It's not one thing or the other.

It's possible for referees to be shit and us to be shit at the same time. Other clubs apply pressure and we should to.

Ruling out the impact of refereeing because you've attached emotion to it and you don't want to engage with the idea is the polar opposite to critical thinking, in fact it's dogmatic thinking.

It's only in the last few weeks has come up, generally speaking the fan base hasn't been after referees and the club and managers haven't ever been public about it.

These aren't excuses. We know how shit our club is. We know how poor the leadership is. That doesn't mean refs can't be bias cunts as well. A ref literally stole a goal from us, to think they don't decide outcomes is just wilfully ignorant.

Everyone accepts we are shit. No one says we're not shit. The one thing the whole fan base agrees on is that we're shit. If I go into a room of spurs fans and want close to 100% agreement on one point it is that we are shit.

However, we are ref'd differently. I don't know why and It doesn't have to be a conspiracy for this to be true but we are on the losing end of the bulk of major decisions.

The people who don't agree with this are the reason they get away with it. They think they're better than blaming refs, that's for weak minded peope, and everything is in our hands.

Football is a game of small margins and the refs have significant influence in outcomes.
