That draw looks priceless now. Spurs needed to win, not us. I fancy Arsenal with fresh legged Aubameyang, Mikhi and Wilshire coming back in.

BUT... things can turn if we fail to beat Southampton we could find ourselves in fifth place.

[Fosterbloke]

But if Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all win, we'll be 1 ahead of Chelsea, 5 ahead of Spurs and 6 ahead of Arsenal!

Absolutely. Just warning against complacency but that would be a very good weekend indeed.

That's basically ever match

I don't really understand why all the anger from this game is directed towards Kane. Yes he makes the most of that but I don't think that there is a player in world football who doesn't go down in that situation. For me the 2nd pen is far worse from Lamella.

If Kane was offside when Del Ali made the pass, it doesn't matter what happens after that point. Lovren could have picked the ball up and sucked it, it bears no relevence, he was offside.

Yep, and he's never going to fess up to being offside either.

i agree thats how it should be so its clear cut, but the rules would say different...
kane is in an 'offside position' but only actually commits an 'offside offence' when the ball would have directly passed lovren.
as lovren took a touch then the ball is deemed to have been played by lovren so now kane cant legally be committing an 'offside offence'

its ****e and allows for too many issues. the crayon eating **** still dived though.

look at the 'clear' distinction between 'offside position' and offside offence'

The anger shouldn't be directed at Kane or Lamela, I'm sure our players would do similar - it's the officials which should do better.

Partly agree. But it's the game itself that is the problem. Officials are human and will make mistakes. But when rule makers, pundits, fans etc condone cheating what chance do they have.

We have to remember football is a contact sport. Gradually over the years it's become accepted by all that it's non contact in the penalty boxes. It's ****ing bizarre. You hear it all the time, there was contact. Yes but it doesn't mean it's ****ing intentional contact. Get back to deliberate act.

Yep totally agree

Some of the rule changes have definitely created this monster

The simple rule for me is if a defender is making an action and it leads to a foul then its more than likely a penalty

If an attacker is initiating the contact it isnt

[baitman]

defenders are generally very cautious once the attacker gets into the goal area as they know the cheating cunts are looking to initiate contact to then claim they have been disemboweled by the defender.

if they were to behave like that anywhere else on the pitch then the game would be finished as a spectacle.
if these poncey bellends cant stand up and go shoulder to shoulder without suddenly developing the inability to support their own weight then the rules needs to be changed as this is a poison that will kill off this game.

The rules do need changing in that case because they benefit from going down.
