I didn’t realize their list of honors was so lengthy. I’ve always laughed at the empty trophy cabinet jokes -- when they’ve actually won some estimable ones I’ve sent one of these to the Toilet Bowl to properly apologize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_horns Posted 3 March 2022 Share Posted 3 March 2022 (edited) When listening to 606 you do ten to find the Spurs fans are potentially a bit older than some of the other sets of fans who ring in. I mean they probably haven’t got too many “glory hunter” types now !! There is a bloke near me who is a Watford and Spurs “fan” Think he goes and watches a local non league team sometimes as they win more !

I do agree though that Man C are one of the worst teams, especially when it comes to tactical fouling. You could see in the game on Tuesday what Burnley are all about, there was some rough tackles went in when we started to take control of the game in the first half. I thought the ref let quite a few go without a yellow when they clearly deserved a yellow, especially the Mee challenge on Tielemans. Eh? They're saying we're the cleanest team in the Premier League... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone at the club has obviously told the boys to behave because they still think we can qualify for the Intertoto Cup through fair play And if you don't remember that, yes, it actually was a thing!

Popular Post Lambert09 Posted 4 March 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 4 March 2022 (edited) Just another one of my annual reminders that the fa cup draws are rigged for you all to laugh at. I’ll keep posting until people finally wake up to it. its in the cups interest to have the bigger clubs in the latter stages. Just look at at the draws from the last 4 years. Yet again the 4 biggest clubs left in the contest all avoid playing each other. If you’re not suspicious you are an ostrich. If it can happen in Italy it can happen anywhere.

The game is corrupt to the core For what its worth, the odds that 4 big sides all avoid each other in a quarter final draw is (4/7)*(3/5)*(2/3) = 22%. Unlikely, perhaps, but certainly not implausible. Given that there are only 3 big sides left then those odds are actually (5/7)*(4/5) = 57% So it'd be more likely to happen than not. I'm not saying the draws can't be rigged, but at least statistically-speaking it's not even close to the threshold to be concerned about. I did some more in-depth analysis a couple years back that I'm too lazy to search for - if i even ended up posting it - but it all checked out as being a reasonable if slightly unlikely outcome over several years of cup draws. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the gain is that the small clubs typically get the big fixtures they want and the competition has more viewers if the biggest supported clubs are in the semi finals. It just happens too often not to signal alarm bells imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
