To be honest, spurs could be a man down after the Doherty challenge, so swings and roundabouts I guess.
I’m sure if you asked Chelsea supporters, most would say the ref got it right - if you asked neutrals, you’d probably end up with close to 50:50 - personally, I’d just about agree that the ref got it right.
Nothing wrong with the goal at all. Not a foul. :thumb:

Switch the players for a second. Silva with the finger stroke on the back of Kane. Is it a penalty?



Either way we didn't deserve anything from the game anyway. Lost to Chelsea 4 times already this season. Bet we draw them in the feckin FA Cup, too. :mrgreen:

My only comment is that Kane made it easy for the ref to consider it a foul - there was definitely contact and as we see in so many instances when a forward goes down looking for a penalty, in this case it’s just the rolls reversed!!

Here’s the thoughts of an “impartial” pundit!!

“Gary Lineker believes Harry Kane's disallowed goal in Tottenham's defeat to Chelsea was "very harsh".

Kane thought he'd put Spurs ahead at Stamford Bridge after he found the bottom corner in the first-half, but referee Paul Tierney blew his whistle with the striker adjudged to have fouled Thiago Silva. The Tottenham players were furious as they went on to lose 2-0 to their London rivals.”

The calls went our way for these two though so can't grumble too much. Penalty? Red card? Certainly could have been both in today's game.

My question would be, why did he put his arm out like that if it wasn't to push the Chelsea player out of the way? He doesn't normally run with one arm in front of him like that. That arm was most definitely in an unnatural position.

Yes, a total over-reaction, but what do you expect from a Brazilian? However, that hand had not logical reason to have been on the defender's back.

NFTs (digital art/pictures tied to blockchain) are becoming increasingly popular. Chelsea's John Terry has joined the NFT world with a new venture @ApeKids.

John Terry, ladies and gentlemen. 🤣🤣🤣

By no means unexpected after recent poor results, Claudio Ranieri is sacked as Watford Manager - more here.

Since leading Leicester to the title back in 2016, Ranieri has not been able to find a winning streak - maybe time to hang his boots up, so to speak!!

He'll be appointed as interim Everton manager later this week.

You heard it here first!Image

It’s good to see that age is no barrier in the EPL as Roy Hodgson (age 74) looks set to be named as manager at Watford!!

Tottenham being Tottenham again. Made an official (pathetic) bid for the extremely talented Luis Diaz. Getting our hopes up 5 days (?) before the window closes just to say, "We tried but we couldn't quite get it over the line".

What about Traore - his transfer is progressing at a snails pace?

^^Yep, we had a crack at Roy Hodgson for centre back, but he got snaffled by Watford.

At least we gave it a shot. :laugh:

Traore off to Barcelona. Liverpool will probably bid for Diaz and get him. So we can look forward to just the one signing at Tottenham...

As I thought...



One of the most embarrassing windows in recent memory for Tottenham. Trying to get players way below their market value. Levy being levy again.

Protests at the training ground all day on Monday. Newcastle and Villa have a better chance of signing decent players than us. We're an absolute joke of a club. Top four in touching distance but won't go all out to strengthen the side. Conte will walk before the end of the season.
