I feel like theres just no cards anymore for diving. There are some REALLY terrible ones that are just kind of "meh, big deal, he dove" these days..

Honestly don't get the reluctance to card people. So many dives this weekend alone and nobody got carded.

In the end it all comes down to our totally incompetent referees. They are the ones who have inadvertently encouraged the spate of diving.

Every player knows if you stay on your feet the ref is likely to think 'you stupid mug' and punish you harshly by giving nothing. You have to dive to get any decision which leads to players trying to con the ref too.

The latest recruit to the premiership refereeing ranks is Robert Jones, now infamous for the Leeds Burnley non award of a blatant penalty - I despair.

It’s amazing how reasonable our fans on here actually are considering we have put up with far far worse than Spurs fans recently yet haven’t seemed to have ever got that vitriolic about players and managers. The swear filter probably helps ha.

“Amazing how reasonable Everton fans are?”
We know that isn’t true because Everton supporters correctly expect more than you’ve suffered in the last decade and the quicker fans stop using the defeatist term “Everton that” the better.

The difference between the two sets of fans is is that Spurs have been regular European and Champions League participants and at the start of the season more Spurs fans will have expected more loftier things than Everton fans have done for X amount of years, so complaining about the rubbish you’re seeing is normal.

I meant just in the language used on that match day thread. That squad recently got to a champions league final, they’re in the semi final of the league cup, and Mourinho took a team that was doing badly last season and has turned them around. Yet even Son is being slagged off at one point in the reaction to a away draw at a decent Wolves team.

But getting to the Champions League final was with a manager who got his team to play attractive attacking football. This manager is from the dark ages in comparison.

I think it all stems from the fact that Spurs have the best centre forward pairing in the league/Europe and the dinosaur of a manager is playing them both in an non attacking formation which by far isn't their best way of playing to their abilities.
Mourino's tactics are a disgrace and I'm so pleased that my cash isn't being used to watch the dregs currently being dregged up.

Arsenal fans were moaning about "Only being in the Champions League," Spurs fans haven't done that.
Spurs easily have more than enough talent not to play the way they are currently and all wish for is my hard earned being spent on something that entertains me not this boring stuff that doesn't deserve my money.

I couldn't care how boring we play providing we get success mate - after watching the entertainers of Martinez and Silva play nice football delivering no results would take Jose ball and a trophy any day of the week.
