If we receive a harsher punishment than City or Chelsea than I’m done with the sport. There’s plenty of less corrupt sports in the world to enjoy.

What am I supposed to do watch bloody cricket

[–] Benidorm_life@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And this was around the era that Spurs fans were calling into national radio stations demanding their players walk off the pitch whenever refs gave a decision against their team. How ironic that it turns out it was them who were actually getting the favourable treatment.

[–] HarryDaz98@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Would be the most Spurs thing to carry on their good form, win the league and then get a points deduction meaning 2nd place wins it.

[–] No_While_835@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ten points to city

[–] 93EXCivic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

-1 point to Spurs for reasons

-50 points to Pompey cause easier to punish

-5 to Everton cause Defoe has a couple Es in his name

[–] ManitouWakinyan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I find your terms acceptable.

[–] GoldenJet01@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t forget the obligatory points deductions for Derby, Reading and Wigan

[–] stead10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

+10 points to City Newcastle and Chelsea because something something money

[–] Dick_Surgeon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

But I was told E's are good, there was a song and everything!

4 game suspension Tom Brady for being "generally aware" of football's existence

[–] Moistkeano@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Of course it was old harry. Shame that he tained our FA Cup win with this transfer and its part of the reason he's only known as a colossal cunt in Pompey.

This was also part of it and I genuinely hate that man with all my heart. The fact he tells this story as some funny little quip, but also has to lie because all of that for 2 mil doesnt sound as good as 9 mil.

[–] Bozzetyp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly I hate tottenham, but this aint really the same thing as chelsea and city are up against

[–] Newera2121@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let’s be real, the whole league has done dodgy deals. Whether it’s now or way, way back. It’s always been going on.

[–] ericsipi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the same story comes out about another team or two it is definitely the case of the league trying to bring up enough stories to say look everyone is cheating to get out of punishing City/Chelsea.

[–] JRsshirt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ah shucks I thought we were getting lumped in with everyone else not with city

[–] milesvtaylor@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Harry Redknapp's dog to be fined £1million

Seriously though ffs why was this not dealt with at the time.

[–] Lemurmoo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The dog will never financially recover from this...

[–] Putrid_Loquat_4357@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Because football didn't want to, it was a self governed wild west in a way. Now the government has threatened to introduce an independent regulator so English football is trying to look like its cleaning up its act and doesn't need regulating (it does).

“What are you gonna do? Take our Audi cup and Walter Tull trophy?” - last words spoken before being stripped of our Audi cup and Walter Tull trophy

[–] GingerPrinceHarry@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck that, they'd end up taking our Checkatrade Trophy and docking us more points instead...

[–] Quirky_Giraffe_8956@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Force you to rebrand that 2nd place DVD to a 4th place DVD

[–] mattBJM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Don't forget the shared record for most goals scored by an individual in a Premier League game

[–] 006AlecTrevelyan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

wait, didn't Rangers win the WT trophy?

[–] icemankiller8@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wenger is too soft low-key everyone else was cheating in some way even spurs but he wanted to moral victory his way to a title

[–] usernamethatcounts@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wouldn’t even call this cheating from spurs, just seems like a deadline day oversight. Spurs are known for having some of the cleanest books in the pyramid.

[–] TrenAt14@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So what I understood is They can be hit with:

a transfer ban

points deduction or

relegation to a lower division

[–] Modnal@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Screw point reductions or fines, spurs need some actual punishment so they don't do it again. I say make them rehire Conte on a long term contract, that will truly make them regret breaking the rules

[–] soldforaspaceship@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That's cruel and unusual punishment. Relegate us two leagues first...

[–] ManitouWakinyan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hey there's no need for that kind of language

[–] hungoverseal@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

UNSUBSCRIBE

[–] 9HOS7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Spurs should be relegated to national league imo

[–] apotatochucker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So now Spurs are guilty of what their fans were shitting on Chelsea for. Relegate them from the league hur hur

[–] punching-bag9018@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Chelsea are being investigated for FFP violation. The claim against Spurs is an unlicensed agent.

[–] apotatochucker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We are being investigated for under the table payments to agents. Same as spurs.

[–] apotatochucker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

[–] ygog45@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Relegate these cheating cunts

[–] FatWalcott@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Who cares, Defoe and Crouch was a fun duo at Portsmouth. Shame he went back to Spurs so soon. Crouch too for that matter lol

[–] loveandmonsters@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why's this coming to light only now? Didn't anyone notice back then? Or didn't care? But we care now?

[–] Let-Him-Paint@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Investigation into Chelsea and Man City cheating

Time to punish them

15 second time penalty for Estaban Ocon

[–] ukstonerguy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I knew it. Shady shady sods. They took advantage of anything and everything suring that period. I'd love to see someone go to the same level of detail for the begovic and kaboul deals. Somehow we ended up owing spurs as we sold begovic to stoke? Wtf is that?

[–] Hassadar@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It would not surprise me that if an investigating body was given full access to all records and documents pertaining to a club, they would find most if not all clubs breaching rules.

The only thing that would remain consistent is the effort in which they'll go to punish lower league clubs and be asleep for bigger clubs. Not sure why this Spurs thing is coming to light again. I thought this was already known.

[–] hideousmembrane@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dock em some points

[–] NotADoctorSshh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

well well well

Man city PR team working overtime to drag other teams in this mess

[–] The_prawn_king@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I said when all the chelsea threads were popping up that everyone had skeletons and no one wanted to listen.

[–] I-am-spartacu-s@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not a Spurs fan in the least but at some point there needs to be some sort of limitation on retrospective punishments for historical offences otherwise where does it end? Leeds getting deductions cos Don Revie tried to fix matches? Forest getting deductions cos Cloughie took bungs? Arsenal getting deductions cos George Graham took bungs? It feels like a slippery slope

[–] CuclGooner@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Relegate us because of the 1919 promotion

[–] Marlboro_tr909@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why am I really, really not liking this
