|  |     It's the pitch - the ball bobbled when Lee Sharpe attempted to shoot
    but it didn't for Scott Gemmill.
    
    The referee was blind - it was never a penalty never mind a sending off
    offence.
    
    It was yards offside.
    
    The game should have carried on for longer.
    
    The sun was in their eyes.
    
    It was the pies.

    	How about:
    
    	"It's Gazza's fault, for not making a comeback in Tottering
    	Hopeless's last game due to his extended injury caused by
    	him p*ssing it up in <insert nightclub of choice> last
    	<whenever>, thus allowing United to sneak a 5-0 victory and
    	thus clinch the title"
    
    	..or something like that 8-)

    If that stupid ref hadn't sent three of our players off, we definitely
    would have stuffed them.
    
    Their goalposts must be smaller than ours ...

    We failed to gain promotion from the third division this season due to
    an oversight in the pre-season training; namely, our forwards were not
    told to kick the ball into those rectangular shapes with the net
    attached and instead seem to have assumed that hitting the posts at
    each corner of the pitch is the correct target. This will be overcome
    next season by doing away with the forwards and playing an extra set of
    defenders, who will be told to defend the opponents goal. The resulting
    "back-passes" and attempted clearances should at least double our goal
    tally for this season.

|  |     Our manager went upstairs to the boardroom and put a proven useless
    has-been-never-was on the bench instead.  Apart from that we'd have won
    everything going i.e. League, F.A. cup, League Cup, Cup-winners cup etc
    if some Notts Forest player hadn't broken Gazza's leg during last
    year's cup final.

|  |     Something from one of the Spurs fanzines.  Can you tell the ones they
    made up from the great Shreeves' real ones:
    
    The lads have played too many matches.
    
    The ball boys put the wrong studs on for us today.
    
    It was the wrong kind of grass.
    
    We're very concerned about the effect of the exchange rate mechanism on
    the fresh fruit vegetable options market and I think this is destroying
    the lads' concentration.
    
    We were up late watching the tele last night.
    
    There's a lot of pressure off the pitch.
    
    I am possessed by the ghost of Irving Scholar and keep making crap
    decisions.
    
    The pitch is too bumpy for some of our players.
    
    A high pressure area moving westerly across Viking, Fischer Bite,
    Rockall has caused considerable nervousness in the dressing room.
    
    The fans aren't getting behind us enough.
    
    The milkman only delivered skimmed milk this week and the boys are
    looking a bit peeky.
    
    We haven't got the money for a top class opening batsman.
    
    Adrian
