If that's touched his hand at all (it has) then it isn't a goal right?

Only if it's a Spurs player.

So 66 points is looking likely to get a top 4 place, is it usually that low to get top 4?

Is there a bank holiday thing in England now? Seeing as the Forest game starts at 1500 tomorrow.

Yeah, May Day bank holiday.

 

[Daisuk]

Yeah, May Day bank holiday.

Cheers. Wish we had that.

Said it early doors
The technical level of players had gone out the window

It's what happens when players are drilled to play a rigid system rather than expressing themselves. The top teams have a couple players that lift them from the robotic horde.

Is there a more pointless thing in the known universe than Sky Sport’s Ref Watch?

Dermot Gallagher steadfastly stands by every decision the referees make; Jay Bothroyd (who will be good on television once he learns how to speak in sentences) argues black is white.

Discussion ensues for 10 minutes and absolutely nothing changes or is achieved.

Repeat ad infinitum.

Is that thing still going? Jeez, I remember watching it a year or two back and vowed never again thinking it was complete and utter gonads and a pointless exercise. More 'jobs for the boys' I guess....

How can anyone watch this weeks referring and claim there is a conspiracy against Spurs rather than just GHod awful referees

West Ham had a stone wall pen not given - don't care
Utds first goal should have been ruled out
Bruno should have been off
Sunderland Red was very debatable
Bmuff Pen was laughable

Sure I am missing more
