The refereeing in England is so bad I'm tempted to follow La Liga.

and you can clearly tell the second "goal" earlier killed Tottenham.
 
Because Arsenal fans would all stay to the end when losing 4-1 of course

I stayed when Charlton were losing 4-0 to Fulham in the cup this season, but I suppose it's different when you're hardly expecting to win. Also, I'm a remarkable human being.

Wherever you go there will be shit refereeing. You should still watch La Liga though, still a lot of quality outside the top two.
 
Hungover like hell but Spurs crumbling has picked me right up. Bad couple of weeks for refereeing, got two diabolical decisions in this game alone. Can only hope the FA cave under the inevitable media frenzy about it happening in their own cup competition at their stadium
 
Fuck Chelsea and fuck Martin Atkinson. If our goal had got us back to 1-1, we would have played it smart and waited for a chance. We opened up and got drubbed with some good goals, but Chelsea got away with a goal that was never, ever, ever ever ever ever a goal (just like at the Bridge last season) and a red card for Mikel (not that it mattered). At least we softened you up a bit for Barca, with Sideshow Bob crocking himself.

Hopefully the anger carrying over from this game will help us win our last 5 games. We'll have the last laugh if we get 4th.
 
Huh, obviously the score ended up looking convincing but you do wonder what sort of ripple effect that not-goal had. If it hadn't happened it could have gone differently. Maybe Spurs would've won or maybe they wouldn't have scored at all.
 
Spurs gonna bottle the rest of the season now to set up a Newcastle 4th spot? YES PLEASE.

That would be fantastic. They have such easy games left on paper though :\

Yeah I will for sure. Though the only team I really like is Barca (always liked them since the 90s) but I can't claim to be a fan since it would just be glory hunting :lol

La Liga isn't that much better. Couldn't you just start watching another sport?

I used to watch a lot of Cricket and Snooker. They both bore me to tears now :\

So salty. Ifs, buts and maybes - how well did Spurs play, honestly, aside from the phantom goal? Bale? Lennon? Modric? Anonymous. Drogba bossed the back 4, Mata was hugely influential and even some of the fringe players stepped up today. Chech didn't have much to do at all in the second half - and for all the talk of our second "deflating" Spurs - after that goal they performed better than they did throughout the entire game.
 
We lost to Norwich at home, and were outplayed.

This team is done for the season

Even so, we have Stoke at home, Wigan away, Chelsea away and Man City at home.

If we finish 4th we'll deserve it but it will be difficult. At least we're on form I guess.
