Both fiery characters who would get the team playing with the kind of heart that characterised 15/16 while also being decent to watch. The stadium would soon be rocking again with either of those in charge. Conceicao is liked and been in contact with the owners before when at Nantes. In Porto the fans say to me ‘you take our players and one day our manager’! He is quite off the radar for the football hipsters on here, who have very good knowledge, and never mentioned! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton fans and Leicester fans, possibly. No reason for anyone else to be interested, but then I never really understand why anyone would watch a match their team isn't in anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you watch cup finals and European stuff? Many not featuring Leicester 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can enjoy a good game without the stress for a change. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for watching lower level football as a neutral; I'm starting to think the lower down you go the better it gets as an experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love the game but sometimes (most of the time) hate it. The highs are incredible with Leicester but the lows and the long periods without a win or even a decent performance, do my head in.

don_danbury Posted 2 March 2023 Share Posted 2 March 2023 (edited) maybe he's getting mixed up with the last game where clattenburg should've sent everyone off for spurs? Edited 2 March 2023 by don_danbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post orangecity23 Posted 2 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 2 March 2023 Reminder - Delle Alli actually punched a WBA player in the ballsack in a run in game, and the refs ignored it and Sky completely ignored it. He was only punished due to ESPN spotting it and reporting it and he got retrospectively suspended. If they lost that game instead of drawing it would have been done earlier. Plus the multiple reds they didn't get against Chelsea, and lest we forget the Jon Moss performance against West Ham. But no, poor Spurs, hard done by refs. They never get refs giving them loads of undeserved help, oh wait, no. It happens all the bloody time, including the last time we played them a few weeks back when they got given everything under the sun and it still ended up with them getting pantsed 4-1. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunge Posted 2 March 2023 Share Posted 2 March 2023 Didn’t Clattenburg actively admit that he didn’t send off multiple Spurs players in that Chelsea match because he didn’t want it to look like bias toward Leicester? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 2 March 2023 Share Posted 2 March 2023 Fun fact, one of the clubs that "bent over" for us... was Tottenham. Surrendered a lead after 60 seconds and then conceded a late winner at home. Then did us a favour by knocking us out the cup. Thanks for the 4 points! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 2 March 2023 Share Posted 2 March 2023 Was Clattenburg also the referee that allowed Chelsea players to get assaulted and put them at risk of serious injury after admitting he didn't want to send a player off and be responsible for them not winning? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could and should have sent off 3 or 4 Spurs players that night. He allowed Chelsea players to get assaulted and it went unpunished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
