Kompressor Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Its funny how only us football fans can believe that every pundit Referee and governing body is against our team when most of the time it just isn't the case Mark Clattenberg probably doesn't know enough about spurs to hate them And for the record Ref's dont need to go out of their way to damage spurs as you do a good enough job of that yourselves BOOM BOOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
