Just watched Stoke beat Tottenham 2 — 1 with a massive assist from the referee, who seemed to think it’s against the rules to give a side more than one penalty per game. Stoke are a horrible team with horrible fans who play the sort of anti-football which demonstrates why the English Premier league is not, in fact the best in the world, as the people who sell it on telly claim it to be. However, it’s about winning and they are very good at what they do. Too bad today’s referee wasn’t.
