I'd get behind that.
Up there with 'banter' and 'reach out' for words/terms I cannot stand.
What does "reach out" mean?

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.
Even so, we have Stoke at home, Wigan away, Chelsea away and Man City at home.
What does "reach out" mean?
There's always a lot of talk about how players disrespect officials, and they do at times and it's sad to see when players at swearing and them etc. But I 100% understand why players have no respect for officials, because they are terrible.
Today in both games there were such bad calls and such inconsistency and calls made which are just inexplicable. Calls which I just don't see any logic behind.
If I'm a player who runs myself into the ground day in day out and all my hard work is undone because an official isn't up to the task, I'd be mad.
Sad state of affairs.
Chelsea away is gonna be such a massive game.
Contact.
Chelsea were the better side, I don't dispute that. You scored some good goals and defended well. You also got a free goal from the referee and forced us to chase when we should have been level. We crumbled with our old CBs in the last 20 minutes but had we not had to go mad after that travesty of a goal we might have had a bit left in the tank. For an hour I thought it was very close.

At least hes getting games.
I fear he and Mc Eachran will never get a fair go at Chelsea.
huh?
How many goals has he scored this season?

Apart from the 700 replays showing it didn't even reach the line, more like cross it.I getcha.
It's a shame - I thought it was a cracking game. Very few fouls breaking up play, end to end stuff. As for the goal - and I know how this sounds - I've yet to see a definitive angle showing it didn't cross the line.
Has there ever been a Harry Redknapp team that doesn't look absolutely knackered at this stage of the season? Not sure he rotates enough leaving important players looking jaded.

On subsequent replays, for me, there's no clear angle one way or another - but giving it was a bad decision.

Stop being salty, it's just banter.Reach out
Edit: Wilbruy wins!

You're just salty that the banters so good, should reach out to banter advisors lol
Not sure if serious or just stupid.
Oh gosh that wit
Gomez is very one dimensional. I don't rate him. He is a good player and you can't argue with the amount of goals he scores so fair enough, but yeah, just too simple a player for me. When you play one up front you need that guy to be damn good. Bayern get him enough service most days because their midfield is so damn good but he can't hold it up and as you say he hardly ever makes anything for himself.All the time works for him, obviously he's going to score some goals. But he can't make a single chance on his own...

If Bayern had, just for example, Van Persie, oh wow, shit would be unreal.
I dislike the word "banter" and all its derivatives.
"Bants" is an especially vile word.
they were right in it until the robbery goal.
The problem with the word banter is that its an awful sounding word, used as a catch-all for any number of contexts and often an escape word when someone's made a tit of themselves. But I can't think of any synonyms and its used in situations which occur very often in sports discussions, so its all we've got
Is it fair to say that Gomez is a better Hernandez?
Well it was 1-0 until the robbery goal, and 2-1 shortly after it - if anything the impetus of actually scoring gave Spurs a better chance of winning it.
I agree with it being an escape word.
Didn't Grey and Keys use "banter" as an excuse for their sexism?
I found that excuse particularly funny.
Man, we need a striker like Drogba. Fucking Mario useless Gómez.
Sure it gave us a lift but who's to say we wouldn't have scored when 1-0 behind? We had good chances in the first half and got into promising positions, 1-0 is nothing, we were matching you. Your second goal was simply not a goal. Had we been able to keep it tight, not run around going mental, our two old mules in the centre of defense might have lasted longer than 65 minutes.
Comfortably.Is it fair to say that Gomez is a better Hernandez?

Comfortably.
If Hernandez keeps developing his game and gets consistent I can see him being a similarish player to Gomez, scores a lot of goals but on the whole poor in other areas.
OT9| But Wayne Rooney...
I wish we had another Ruud.
He was a selfish bastard but he could actually play a bit too.
They show very clearly the ball wasn't even on the line when Ekotto poked it away, so yea, I'd call that definitive.Yes but are they definitive?

Who's to say we wouldn't have scored again? After all 1-0 is nothing, and we were matching you. And our "ageing" players showed they still have the energy and quality to affect a game at this level.
I've seen it used as an escape for ignorance of the causes of the Hillsborough disaster and blaming Liverpool fans for it on another forum. Its a bit like how you'll sometimes see people on discussion boards make a fool ofthemself and then pretend they were trolling when they get called out
