Premier League Discussion 10/11/12 December 2011

I'll accept that. Just wish we'd lost that one and won this one - Fulham are everything Stoke aren't , ie a football team

Stoke players right to be shaking Foy's hand. Deary me, I can accept a few 50/50 decisions going against us but that was utterly ridiculous.

?Modric dive

Haha that was a horrific dive by Modric

Never a pen.

Great game to watch... Spurs did get harsh decisions the ref was horrible at times. Harry did well at half time and got his team playing specially Mordic the only thing this guy lacks in a iron clad heart. Parker man he is just Englands best player.

That was a horrendous call for the 'offside' goal. It wasn't even a close call.

Anyway if I was a POOL, Arsenal, Man U Man City fan Spurs are the real deal...... Great to have a good English Coach doing well in the top 4

Brian, are you on a weekend long bender ?

Let's assume Modric's dive wasn't a penalty for a moment (despite Whelan clearly reacting as someone who has just caught his opponent), the fact that Foy and his crew:

- Gave a penalty for this apparent dive
- Allowed Stoke's first goal despite coming off Crouch's hand in the build up
- Disallowed Adebayor's onside goal
- Missed Shawcross's elbow clearance on the line
- Missed Palacios' handball directly in front of him
- Allowed Both sides to push and pull each other to high heaven at set pieces/corners
- Got a number of corners/throw in's wrong

Aside from all that, I'd say he had a fantastic game

No maybe getting a bit more nutty as the years pile on......

Now Stoke on the other hand are doing well enough to keep surprising teams in Europe. that would be a bender for Puro to go on....

Glenn Whelan's face is a bookable offence. The question you have to ask yourself is, would Luis Suarez get a penalty in that situation and, if so, would I be happy?

0trick deserves this for being on the wind up yesterday.

Harry being nice to the Referee's good stuff old bean would like him as the England boss what do you feel fellow England followers.

are you a POOL, Arsenal, Man U Man City fan? And if not does this mean Spurs aren't the real deal?

You say that, but I was only making the point that Newcastle losing to Norwich 4-2 was a big surprise. Granted your central defence was crap, but like ours today they still should have done much better. You're a superior team than Norwich on paper, I said that yesterday. If that's a wind up then so be it

If a Chicken and a Half laid a egg and a half in a day and a half how many does it lay in a week and a half

Clever Bastard

From BBC website:

1808: A summary of the controversial incidents in that match, then; Peter Crouch's 'handball' in the opening goal, Luka Modric's penalty given, a 'foul' on Younes Kaboul not given, 'handball' from Jermain Defoe's shot not given, Emmanuel Adebayor's pefectly good goal ruled out, Younes Kaboul's red card... have I missed any?


Jaymin Patel on Twitter: "Spurs were absolutely robbed and, of course, as a West Ham fan that's hilarious."
Anon via text: "This proves Tottenham are NOT title contenders. Aren't winners supposed to have the ref on their side?"
James Evans on Twitter: "Chris Foy, man of the match for Stoke, from a Chelsea fan."

Spencer, Birmingham fan in Bedford, via text: "The referee was poor - the same as Spurs defending for the goals, maybe we should blame Chris Foy for that as well."

Amen to that. Time to move on. Sunderland and MON at home next

Danny Simpson and James Perch should've done better. THEY CANNAE!!!!

I for one quite like it when Stoke win because it pisses off the pseudo-purists.

It is enjoyable when it doesn't happen to your side. I did quite like it when they beat Liverpool earlier in the season with their special brand of football and Jordan Henderson missing an incredibly straight forward one on one. Not so enjoyable today however

If I see that Dickhead Chris Foy in the endz, a man is gonna run him over. Innit.



Penalty all day long

Nope.

Spurs = 30 goals in 14 games

Liverpool = 18 goals in 15 games

christmasborocooper wrote:Nope.

You can't jus go around kicking people in the shins. The reverse angle is even more damning.

How can any sane person think that was a penalty after watching the replays

Crouch call was unlucky but understandable that the ref missed it
Your penalty was outrageous
Adebayor's was obviously a goal

You may have got a draw on another day

I've watched it a lot..I still cant see that kick hitting his shin.

I'd be more inclined to award a penalty to Stoke for Modric's embarrassing dive.
