What instructions are refs given regarding playing advantages? It seems like providing your team keeps the ball, it's an advantage :/

Just then Norwich could have had a free-kick ~20 yards from goal in a good position to put a cross in the box but instead the ref played on with the ball falling to another Norwich player who was being closed down.

Norwich are going to be first to score here.

technically it's just having the ball under control rather than being in an advantageous position. The theory being that if you have the ball under control you can create anything with it.

Spurs = New Arsenal

All silky skills but they don't like it up 'em

If that's the case then it's ridiculous. You're effectively being penalised in certain situations because the ball falls to one of your teammates.

Kyle Walkers decision making is atrocious at times

Hxc · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:03

Terrible commentator on this. 'My word' 'My word' SHUT UP

carlazai · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:06

the positioning of modric for the bale chance was genius, he moved into the gap where no one would dare pick him up.

Chong Warrior · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:15

That should have been a penalty to Spurs

carlazai · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:16

Love that trip on gallas, classic!

Jimbeam3678 · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:17

Certain trip on gallas for a pen there !

carlazai · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:18

The ref had no chance of seeing that. Its nothing compared to the manu defence for corners eps vidic.

Can see this being a bore draw, spurs are virtually throwing the kitchen sink at the norwich defence

Us getting a clean sheet? That'd be remarkable. There are goals in this..

Cosimo · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:28

I can see Norwich sneaking a late winner.

Chong Warrior · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:35

Our crossing has been poor

peterattheboro · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:38

The missus supports Spurs which means I now support Spurs.

Come on Norwich!!

Chong Warrior · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:44

BALE you Beauty!!!!

Jimbeam3678 · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:44

At long flipping last!

Jimbeam3678 · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:45

His goal celerbration is still a bit gay though !

Chong Warrior · 27 Dec 2011 at 20:47

Is Adebayor thick?

Modric has the ball on the wing so he can cross, so Ade playing lone striker at 6ft+ decides to go out to the wing with him.... get in the ******* box you divvy! Does it all the time.
