Yeah I thought he was clearly a blagger or a blind manHe also claims to be married to "an absolute stunner"
I don't think he's a trustworthy sauce.

I'm sure that's what he heard, if he heard anything at all.He most likely also heard the ‘cheat, cheat, cheat’.
No chance we were on mass doing monkey noises. One fan maybe but he wouldnt be hearing one fan clear as day. Would have to be a sizeable number so if he is genuine it would have to be the ‘cheat, cheat, cheat’ he heard.
I'm sure that's what he heard, if he heard anything at all.
More pertinently, as we appear to have shown that there was definitely no mass chanting of anything racial in nature, how the fudge could Rudiger have heard a single person shouting anything over the noise of 5000 people vociferously labelling him the cheat he is?
Having never heard him speak, I'll be generous and assume the language barrier prohibited him from properly explaining to the ref what he claims happened and was simply gesturing.And the monkey gestures he made so clearly while complaining? That says to me he saw these gestures somewhere, well where are they then?
If there really are people out there who cannot see how Johnson, Trump and their ilk stoke the lines of division along several lines -including race- then I have to believe they are willfully ignoring a growing trend of ugliness in society.
Your post shows exactly why we should keep politics OUT of this forum. I find it utterly daft that you lump the PM with "Trump and their ilk", or that you can possibly say that Johnson stokes racial division. You'll see what you want to see, but suggest we keep our opinions about the Prime Minister to ourselves.
Having watched the broadcast version of the match again today, my reading of events is as follows:
- Rudiger fouls Son
- Rudiger punches Son
- Son reacts with a push of his legs
- Rudiger play acts like the filthy fudging cheat he is to get Son sent off
- Our fans call Rudiger out on being an utter clam
- Rudiger gets really butthurt and doesn't like the abuse
- Rudiger can't find his mummy to suck his rooster better
- Rudiger lashes out at innocent fans by claiming they racially abused him
- Ref bricks the bed and gets everything wrong just as he has the whole match
I do think it is absolutely incredible that no one said "it's a highly charged atmosphere, things can be misconstrued, let's allow the inquiry to run its course and then make a judgement."
Sky, the print media and everyone else was reporting as fact that there was "racist chanting" and everyone gets worked into a frenzy. The PMs office felt compelled to join the hysteria. It's incredible and mind boggling that no one shouted "stop, let's establish the facts". I know it's a sensitive topic and no one wants to be seen to condone or minimise racism but it's an absolute dereliction of duty by the media to indulge in this sort of grandstanding and virtue signalling without having hard facts to back it up.
Our club has suffered reputational damage as a result because if it turns out that our fans didn't racially abuse Rudiger and only a Chelsea fan was arrested for his abuse of Son, the narrative that Spurs fans made monkey noises will not go away.
Steff, I've just googled Johnson's article in the Telegraph where he used the "P" word and the phrase "watermelon smiles". He was satirising Tony Blair in particular (and also the Royals) for their patronising attitude of jetting around the world and expecting African nations to be grateful to them. It's all about context, a bit like the Y word.....

By the way Rudiger has history back from his time in Roma
