Whitey Grandad

That was last season. The criteria have been loosened for this season.

No, but they wouldn’t have scored their second goal.

As I understand the situation VAR can’t disallow a goal because of a foul that occurred early in a sequence of moves and I don’t think that VAR can intervene in any general fouls on the pitch unless there is a question of serious foul play. This situation should have been halted immediately because there had been a blow to the back of the neck. Nobody could have complained if that had happened.

Yes. Refusing to throw the ball back is just childish. I’d like to think that we were classier than that.

I thought it was a foul. Broja was moving backwards and Royal was moving forwards but Broja gets a forearm smash to the back of his neck well before Royal gets his head to the ball. A classic case of man before ball and probably worth a yellow card. Irrespective of that the ref should have stopped the game immediately if there is any suggestion of a head injury.

You’re not wrong.

Kudos and respects to ll those who made it up there tonight. Come home safely.

Meh. Never in doubt.

Miles offside.

Lucky guess.

Adams!

I’ve always like Elyounissi.

Hoddle showing his bias again. It wasn’t up to Tottenham to put the ball out for a head injury, the referee should have stopped the game instantly.

I can take the goal but spare me the wankfest.

Not enough to overturn the onfield decision.

I expect every other team to finish above Southampton but I'm usually pleasantly surprised.

Very wise. There are some inconsistencies there. It asks if you’re a season ticket holder and then asks how many games you intend to attend.

I’ve just done one survey. There are a lot of presumptions in there and as you say, terrible spelling mistakes. For my first survey I was allowed to enter a value of £0 for the answer to that particular question. Under no circumstances would I buy a seat in a corner. For my second entry (I have two season tickets) I met the same problems as you. I wasn’t allowed to enter any value that I wanted.

That would be catty

I didn’t know about Leicester’s plans but I’ve just looked them up and they look rather nice but the big question is… … will the seats be padded?

Troo dat. I've not used that station since the late 1960s, and that was only up to Enfield Town.

How about White Hart Lane station?

Nuclear, innit?

There is a danger in getting too chatty with the players. It’s fine to let them know some of the reasons behind your decisions but when a centre half, for example, comes up to you and says “Watch out for their number 9, he’s pulling my shirt all the time” what do you do the next time there’s a tussle and they’re pulling each other all over the place? I also don’t like it when Premier League referees talk to players on first name terms. This is especially wrong when such referees are handling a mixed Premier League/ lower division game.

At least he didn’t get sent off after three minutes.
