Adebayor had an off night (I like him, but he's offside too much and misses a lot of good chances - is he a fair weather forward?),
Ask the fans of Arsenal, Man City and Real Madrid. I would say yes.

Those decisions even got 'Arry complaining about the ref.
Stoke well deserved the first half - but the ref should have been sent off in the second
Such is footy - bring on goal line technology!

Great display by spurs, the result didn't go for us but the team showed character and worked their socks off!

Honoured to be quoted in the same breath as possibly the best league team in the world.

One of you Spurs fans once said, unlike Wenger, Redknapp never whinged. Did you see the after match interview?
Having said that I think he had a point. Shame really.

Yes, 5 goals in 4 games, BaaBaa - it's what we at Spurs now call a bad patch!BaaBaa. wrote: Adebayor has hit his after 2 months bad patch? .


EDIT: Arcadian, 'Arry didn't whinge, he forcefully made some very valid points...

This is the way

Which is why I also stated 'Those decisions even got 'Arry complaining about the ref.' - quite a rare moment - but I would hardly call 'The Ref' had a bad day' as over the top.

I'm an expert on refereeing thoughJimmyGreaves wrote: Yes, but you know sweet FA about football![]()

So to summarise;
Shawcross grappling Kaboul to the ground = pen, if given, Kaboul wouldn't have been booked for complaining & wouldn't have seen red
Shawcross elbow off the line = pen
Someone else almost catching the ball in the 6 yard box = pen
Adebayor goal clearly onside.
Like i said, i thought the ref was excellent

As for the beautiful game? . . . . not when Stoke are playing

Re: Premier League 2011-2012
Yup!
But I still thought we started with the wrong tactics / formation, but at least this time, he did something about it! We ceded so much space that I thought we were in for a re-run of the Liverpool game.
We'll probably lose our next match?

I imagine you were fearing the worst after the first 25 minutes
Had battenburg given the pen for the foul on Silva, which was pretty much nailed on, i think it would have been game over
keeps it interesting at the business end of the table
