I think it's valid to say Dean affected the result, anyone with an ounce of sense can see Spurs didn't play up to the usual level we might have come to expect, but pointing out a glaring mistake by one of this countries supposed top refs is okay.
He did not affect the result. Spurs not bothering to play affected the result. You cannot blame the ref when we did not bother showing up.

Can't you wallow somewhere else?
He did affect the result, game altering decision. It's not hard to admit.

Mike Dean only needed to make the first error, the 'non-shirt pull' foul given.
This was a game changer.

Of course you can, that is agenda driven and not taking into account ALL variables.
No one disputes we were well below par, but goals change games and the way they are played. The poor decisions gave them the opportunity to change their approach and nullify an already lacklustre forward line. We’ve played poorly and won before because we were still in the game. The poor decisions took that away.
They are not the sole reason we lost, as you say our own performance was the greater reason, but to dismiss the poor officiating as having no effect is to consciously ignore contributing factors.

Every fan-base harps on about the lack of characters and how their old players in years gone by cared more.

Funnily enough, you're not employed as manager, which must be some colossal mistake by Levy, almost like Napoleon deciding to attack the Russians.

"Spurs have won 4 of their last 86 games away to Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea"
What about our other 82 losses and draws.

Sorry, but Chelsea were epically shit in that game and suffering from their dumbarse John Terry leaving party.
City also left their shooting boots at home in the semi and otherwise would have walked passed them. Even a few Arsenal fans I know were stunned they won that cup last year.
Anyway, bad day at the office for us with a weakened squad.
Two Spanish men sharing a joke. How very dare they!

50 lashes.
I'm not sure what you're trying to show here apart from the fact that you can do basic arithmetic.
Only 50?

Oh bugger off if you're going to be sensible about it, what you say is true but I reserve the right to my senseless rant
As I posted before, they were up for it in fact they played out of their skins whilst we were sub par through injuries but also I think mentally and I do believe that there was a delicate balance in the game which Mike Dean tipped, ultimately decisively.
It just annoyed me that one player who was bloody good and didn't deserve that was Davinson Sanchez and he was penalised through nothing more than the referee being completely totally and utterly wrong.

"Any player coming to Spurs whether he's a big signing or just a ground staff boy must be dedicated to the game and to the club. He must be prepared to work at his game. He must never be satisfied with his last performance, and he must hate losing."
We have just lost the NLD. This dickhead doesn't look upset...he clearly does not care about losing, although his job is to win football matches. We need to get wasters like this out of the club.

Yeah I was pretty good at maths! But my point I was asking was that just 2 matches were highlighted, the other 80 would have been another load of hotchpotch of excuses by various other people over the years. The thing is we just don't perform away against these teams. The figures can't be disputed whatever the excuses. I along with everyone else are fed up with excuses, it's going to take the rest of my life to see these figures even out.

As poor as we were there is a genuine shout for that decision affecting the result. I said when we were watching it that we just needed to get through to half time at 0-0 and then we had a chance for Poch to try and sort things out a bit, unfortunately we were 2-0 down and it was too late (with the attitude and fitness levels that were out there)
