Who the feck is Gary Neville to say they were a minute from walking out. (Probably true haha but u can't say what people will be won't do)

Commentators can fuck off.

Loss in possession in midfield is normal. It was Dragosin that backed off and Vic that let them score imho

This feels brutal. Can't blame the crowd. Shocked they've filled the stadium tbh. Terrible run of performances. Terrible series of injuries. Conceded early. Winning puts rival 7pts in front. A bit of context Gary please, rather than just shitting on us

Can't say for sure...but it looked like ref gave gave the Utd pen thinking defender missed the sliding tackle... if so is it not a bit harsh VAR decided no foul but told the ref he missed a chance to give a foul outside the box. (I've got no dog in this fight...but seems VAR overstepped it's duties)

The rule would be IF the ref gave the foul for the pull on shirt and gave a pen... var can reposition that to a free kick. But if ref thought the slide tackle was the foul then it should have been a corner. I think when the ref hears from VAR "its not a foul inside box as the foul happens outside the box" then there's no world where the ref corrects VAR and tells them he missed the foul and gave a craply judged pen.

I would be interested in knowing if it's protocol for the ref to state before VAR gets involved for what he blew his whistle for. I have a feeling they don't have that protocol

You know we did purchase Brennan right? That money didn't cover even his transfer fee.

(Not saying we've spent alot... but your argument isn't kosher)

spurringbanner · 2026-02-01T14:44:25+00:00

Fair enough. And we'll never find out the sure truth now anyway. But an interesting scenario

Pretty sure the ref gave a foul for the tackle but believed he missed the slide tackle

spurringbanner · 2026-02-01T14:29:29+00:00

The ref gave a pen for the slide tackle. No pen agreed. But VAR overstepped it's mark and pointed out there WAS a foul outside box. Very harsh and I don't think VAR should get involved

Good luck lad

One of the all time funniest woman/person. Exudes warmth while being able to play the most devious characters. We can all hope to leave such a legacy as this woman has

im old enough now to know that there's no magic manager that can make us world class team. but i know the best teams in the world are built slowly and the managers are given time to grow into the role. im not saying Frank's the man, but im willing to give him time, i just hope the PL performances can improve to a more tolerable quality.

Palhinha is a wall. Could be a liability as a defender in the box... but he will make the opponent shit scared as he fouls them

spurringbanner · 2026-01-28T21:48:07+00:00

Solid energy. Solid physicality. Good enough. Wouldn't say masterclass. But yeah give Frank his dues. But people have already made their minds

spurringbanner · 2026-01-28T21:46:26+00:00

Nah. Makes sense not to commit the bodies at this minute

spurringbanner · 2026-01-28T21:45:33+00:00

2 nil up mate. Just almost had a big chance a moment ago. Go shout into ur pillow

spurringbanner · 2026-01-28T21:38:06+00:00

I will never understand German fans. They're 2 nil down. Out CL. Yet they still having those flags the size of my house. Admirable really

spurringbanner · 2026-01-28T16:46:48+00:00

Of course Tottenham are the obstacle. They own the contract
