I know Spurs won the football match but I was saying the same thing at 0-0. At half-time I came to see the referee, when we were 1-0 I was saying the same things.
"The referees are dictating to our goalkeeper how we play. You see from minute one we split, Spurs adjust what they do so we have to adjust again. All of a sudden our keeper is booked for handling outside and he's told he's going to get another yellow if he doesn't play the ball.
"But we have to wait and see how Spurs are going to stop us playing out before he can make a decision. They don't understand what I'm saying to them and they're refereeing a game in the top flight. Peter Banks' a good guy, but this is nothing new. It's sad.
"Wes (Foderingham) got jumped into by a player who turned his back and led with his elbow, stitches. Deemed the same offence by the referee as Ollie McBurnie saying someone is pulling his shirt. Where are we going? Where are we going? It's tough for me, we all love the game but the people who know the least about football are directing where the game is going. And that's what I can't take.
"Crazy. Absolutely barmy, but we're letting these guys run our game and we need to stop them."

It was easy to understand why Paul Heckingbottom cut such an upset and frustrated figure after Saturday's defeat at Tottenham.
His game plan to stymie the hosts had worked to an absolute tee and Gustavo Hamer's clinical finish gave the Blades every chance of picking up a shock win.
Heckingbottom turned his ire on referee Peter Bankes for his officiating of the game, for the amount of time added on and for Oli McBurnie's red card.
Some of his claims were valid, others less so, but it was hard not to feel sympathy for a manager whose side deserve more than the solitary point they possess.
The Blades have battled in every game and the narrow margins of all four of their defeats - each by a single goal - will give them hope they can survive.
But they must shake their capital hoodoo - and quickly. This was their 12th straight Premier League defeat to London sides and they have games against West Ham, Fulham and Arsenal all coming up in the next few weeks.
Sheffield United manager, Paul Heckingbottom, speaking to Sky Sports, said: "Spurs are a very good team, and we had to really defend well but also when we could, we played. We created chances ourselves and up until the very end we limited Spurs to efforts from outside the box.
"Sometimes you've got to accept you're going to give some things away. We defended our box very well and went in front, missed a couple of really good chances ourselves, so to lose a game in that way is really cruel. But it doesn't change our performance.
"Now I want to focus on the performance, we did that today.
"We had to concentrate all game, it was a fatigue thing, the pressure they put on us. They had to take a few more risks so their shape slightly changed. But it's two lapses and we've been beaten 2-1.
"It is what it is, but we've got to focus on the performance. We were close to getting three points, then one and then it slipped away. But like I said to the players, we've got to keep focusing on us and what we do.
"Something needs to be done now. And this is not me moaning, I said it half-time and when we were 1-0 up as well. The focus is on timewasting so the referees are dictating how we play. We set up from the back, then Spurs push forward and then that dictates how we play. But no, we're just told to play long. You can't do it.
"Wes (Foderingham) got a yellow card for handling outside the box and then got threatened with a sending off (for timewasting) you can't do it. The officiating is appalling, and it's not about the football decisions, it's just game management.
"My worry is all the focus is on yellow cards for time wasting and when I talked to the referees they haven't got a clue what I'm talking about. they're officiating the game, they simply do not know the game.
"We need to sort that and sort that quick. It's ruining the spectacle. And then to sum it all up we get Ollie McBurnie sent off for telling the referee someone is pulling his shirt. We've just seen someone lead with an elbow into our goalkeeper who needs stitches and that's the same offence. What's going on, seriously what's going on with our game?"
Spurs went into the 98th minute trailing to Sheffield United before winning 2-1, the latest winning comeback by a side in Premier League history, surpassing their own record (95th min v Leicester in January 2022).
Dejan Kulusevksi’s goal for Tottenham, timed at 99:53, was the latest match-winning goal on record in Premier League history (since 2006-07).
Tottenham’s Richarlison has scored his 50th Premier League goal, making him just the third Brazilian to reach that landmark in the competition (after Roberto Firmino and Gabriel Jesus).
Spurs have won each of their last three Premier League games against Sheffield United – their longest winning run against the Blades in the competition. In fact, Spurs had won just one of their previous seven such meetings prior to this run (D3 L3).
Sheffield United have suffered seven successive Premier League defeats away to London opponents – their longest such run in the competition. The Blades’ last such win came via a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace in February 2020.
Richarlison scored one goal and set up another as Tottenham struck twice in stoppage time to come from behind to beat shell-shocked Sheffield United.
The Brazil striker, who said this week he would "seek psychological help" for off-the-field issues he has been struggling with, came off the bench to head Spurs level eight minutes into the 16 that were added on.
He then turned provider by picking out an unmarked Dejan Kulusevski in the box for the Sweden midfielder to fire home the winner.
Until Richarlison's intervention, Spurs' unbeaten Premier League start under new boss Ange Postecoglou had looked to be coming to an end thanks to a Gustavo Hamer strike that crept in off the post.
The Blades had seemingly engineered a classic smash-and-grab away victory after soaking up pressure for long periods, with goalkeeper Wes Foderingham making a number of fine saves.
But Richarlison glanced home fellow substitute Ivan Perisic's corner before Kulusevski won it to leave the gallant visitors - who had Oli McBurnie sent off right at the very end - broken-hearted.

There are seven games being played in the Premier League on Saturday and we'll bring you every moment.
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.
His opponent for this weekend's fixtures is Afro-pop star Midas the Jagaban, who supports Manchester United.
Sutton's prediction: 3-0
I hate to say 'I told you so' but I did tell everyone how good Tottenham would be to watch under Ange Postecoglou.
I love watching 'Angeball' and Spurs have been playing some of the best football in the league this season, as well as getting some good results.
I see them winning this game too, but I am expecting Sheffield United to dig in, defend deep and make life difficult for them, the same as the Blades did when they played Manchester City last month.
The way this game goes will be decided by when Tottenham score their first goal. If they get it early on, then it could be a bit of a rout. If not. it might be a frustrating day for them.

Image source, PA MediaCameron Archer hopes to give Sheffield United fans many more opporutnities to see his signature celebration - and he may be adapting it as the season progresses.
The £18m signing from Aston Villa scored on his debut at Bramall Lane two weeks ago and said it has taken him a while to enjoy posing as an archer when he nets.
"My brother told me to do it," he said, "but at first I didn't like doing it. I think the way I was doing it was why I didn't really like it.
"As time has gone on, I have changed it a little bit into a new style and now each time I score, I end up doing it.
"I've had a thought in my head about [how to adapt it]. I won't say what it is but obviously as time goes on, I probably will change it.
"I think it is important that someone who scores goals has a celebration, something to be known about. A few other players in the Premier League do it - and I want to make it my own."
Image source, ReutersSheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom expects Tottenham to "show their quality" on Saturday but insists his side travel to north London "with no fear".
The Blades manager has been impressed with what he has seen from Ange Postecoglou's side so far this season and knows how tough a test they will pose.
"I have enjoyed watching them so far," said Heckingbttom. "It has been interesting having a good look at how they have gone about their work.
"They have got undoubted threats and we are going to see that. We cannot go there hoping they will underperform. They have got players that have not been quiet in any games and we will expect them to show their quality.
"But I'd like to think we can cause them problems."
It has been a slow return to the Premier League with just one point taken from United's opening four games but Heckingbottom is keen to instil a positive mindset within his squad.
"We want to be fearless in everything we do," he said. "It's about being aggressive and going out and trying to perform.
"We want to take risks and when we have the ball to create chances, not slow the game down. It is harder in this league, but if we have players that are trying to get on the ball and do the right thing, I will defend them.
"We'll have a go at Tottenham."
In the latest episode of BBC Radio Sheffield's Blades Heaven podcast, hear from boss Paul Heckingbottom on finally having some welcome selection dilemmas, plus Cameron Archer talks his signature goal celebration and making the move to Bramall Lane.

Sheffield United return to action after the international break and it'll be interesting to see how things have settled down after a frantic transfer window ended successfully with the return of James McAtee.
I had a chance to interview Blades chief executive Stephen Bettis last week and to his credit, he didn't shirk any questions. He explained, fairly, how difficult it is for clubs to retain key players (pointing to Harry Kane as an example at Spurs).
He noted that a Premier League rival had tried to offload two players to them late in the window. The two unwanted players were on contracts far beyond anything United could afford (highlighting the financial discrepancy in the top flight). He also provided an update on a potential takeover which doesn't feel particularly imminent.
All in all, the club feels in a better place than it did a few weeks ago. The window ended well, they've started the season in a competitive, albeit winless, fashion. A trip to Spurs on Saturday is ominous but also the kind of occasion you win promotion for.
There are also enough teams down at the bottom to think a group of six or seven might be fighting to avoid the drop. United have a spirit to them that others lack. That could be key.

Image source, Getty ImagesPaul Heckingbottom has "set the record straight" over the row between Anel Ahmedhodzic and the Bosnian Football Association.
The Blades boss said the 24-year-old informed his country that he would not feature against Lichtenstein and Iceland because of a hamstring injury suffered before the international break.
But reports in the Bosnian media suggested the centre-back had been suspended for failing to show up.
"He is training and fine. He was worried about his thigh and had some hamstring issue," Heckingbottom told the media.
"It's been a mountain out of a molehill, I've read a lot of stories so I'll set the record straight. Anel did speak to the Bosnian FA, three people who all knew about it.
"From past experience when he has been away and injured, he has not been looked after as well as we would want and he would want.
"He knew he wasn't fit to play so he wanted to get the best possible treatment to get back training as soon as possible.
"We have got him back on the grass today and he's available.
"While we would not want to stop anyone from playing for their country, he has been really sensible and he has got himself fit. It's crazy what's been written about. It has been blown out of all proportion."

Paul Heckingbottom has been speaking to the media before Sheffield United's game at Tottenham on Saturday.
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Heckingbottom says they have "done a good bit of work" during the international break but that some players "have picked up some injuries while they have been away".
He does not think the two weeks has overly benefitted his team: "We would have done a lot more for the Spurs game with everyone together. It is always a struggle during the break. We could have done with a few more of the boys being here."
Despite that, there have been some positives: "We have been able to individualise for each player. Some have had game time, some have done extra fitness work, others had a bit of down time."
His drive is to keep improving the players: "The atmosphere has been up and down since we came back but we are gradually improving and improving. We are going to try really hard to make sure results do not affect the atmosphere."
Summer signing Tom Davies is close to making his debut: "He is getting fitter and fitter. The two weeks has been good for him and now he just needs game time to get match fit."
On-loan midfielder James McAtee is ready to pick up from last season: "He is raring to go - he has just not had much football. We did a lot of work with him last season and he has come back where he left off so we're not starting again."
On McAtee, the manager added: "He’s excited to be here. There’s going to be a lot of expectation on him and it’s going to be difficult for him to deal with that. He’s still behind, he’s got a hell of a lot of catching up to do but he’s come in the building and we’ve done a lot of work with him. He is a big talent and I think his ceiling is really high."
Finally, he wants to "play with no fear" at Spurs: "To get a result, we will have to perform really well and have a go. They will be favourites but I believe in this group, that we can go there and win."

On last season’s evidence, any scout with even a cursory knowledge of Championship football would have had Coventry’s Gustavo Hamer and Middlesbrough’s Cameron Archer on their watchlist.
In their own ways, the duo were spearheading their side’s promotion push. Archer fired 11 goals and six assists in 20 games on loan from Aston Villa, while Hamer’s nudge forward from holding midfielder to the centre of the park resulted in three goals and four assists in the final five games, including two in their run to the play-off final.
Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom therefore knew exactly what he was getting when he signed them, replacements for the departed talismanic pair of Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge, and tasked with keeping the Blades afloat in the Premier League.
Can they do it? After all, United have splashed big bucks before on a striker who looked good on loan in the Championship – see Rhian Brewster – only for the move to flounder in the pressure cooker of the Premier League.
Archer made a fine impression on debut, showing all of his predatory movement and lethal finishing to score the first goal against Everton. He was unfortunate not to make it a double, but at least his shot off the woodwork bounced off Jordan Pickford and into the net.
He is a bit slighter than Ndiaye and five inches shorter than partner Oli McBurnie, but he is a stealthy operator, more of a poacher than someone to create his own chances. With the right supply line, he could provide the sharp point for this in-need Blades attack.
That could come from Hamer, who racked up 24 assists in 132 games at Coventry (roughly one every three games) and at 26 has developed into a mature and skilful presence in the middle of the park.
His performances in the Championship rightly earned him his opportunity in the Premier League and he will no doubt have his eye on a call-up to the Netherlands senior squad.
Energetic, creative and combative, he has made his presence felt in his first three games but Heckingbottom will be hoping he can seize hold of games the way he did for the Sky Blues last season.
It will be a tough ask at Saturday’s opponents Tottenham who, under Ange Postecoglou, have pressed high and looked to dominate the ball themselves in an opening four games that has yielded 11 goals and 10 points.
For this duo that shone in the Championship, there would be no better way to announce themselves in the Premier League.

It’s not been an ideal start for United, whose first four games were hamstrung by a mixed bag of a transfer window that saw key players leave early and replacements arrive late. That’s left us with just a single point out of three of the easier games we’re likely to have this season – Palace and Everton at home, and Forest away.
It’s made an uphill task that little bit steeper – but I’m hopeful about what the rest of the season could look like. It’s justifiable to bemoan the pace at which we improved the team over the summer, but the end result is a team that could be entertaining to watch, especially when contrasted with the desperately weak XI we fielded in the first game.
Cameron Archer and Gustavo Hamer both scored on their debuts and project to be exciting, Premier League-ready players. Vinicius "the Bruiser" Souza is already a fan favourite as the kind of midfield destroyer we haven’t had in aeons. Oli McBurnie’s return to fitness could be crucial and deadline-day signing James McAtee was sensational for us in the back half of last season.
Unlike our last time in the Premier League where we struggled to a joint-record low of 20 goals, this United side looks like it has a healthy sprinkling of creators and finishers. If the defence can step up, there’s still hope that we can pick up the 10 or so wins necessary to avoid a swift relegation.
Tottenham did the league double over Sheffield United the last time the two teams faced each other in the top-flight in 2020-21, having won just two of their previous 11 against the Blades (D4 L5).
Sheffield United have lost 14 of their 15 previous Premier League matches against sides starting the day in the top two, with the only exception being a 2-1 away win against Manchester United in January 2021.
The Blades are without a win in their opening four games of a league season for the third time in the last four campaigns (also 2020-21 and 2021-22), something they had only done in three of their previous 20 league seasons beforehand.
Tottenham have scored more than two goals in all four of their league games under Ange Postecoglou. Only four managers have seen their side score at least twice in each of their first five games in the Premier League: Carlo Ancelotti (2009), Pep Guardiola (2016), Craig Shakespeare (2017), and Maurizio Sarri (2018).
Son Heung-min has been directly involved in 31 goals in his last 31 Premier League appearances against newly promoted sides (21 goals, 10 assists), scoring a hat-trick at Burnley last time out. Only seven different players have ever scored a hat-trick in successive Premier League appearances, most recently Erling Haaland in August 2022.

Premier League squads have to be submitted on Wednesday - which in theory signals the end of clubs' abilities to sign players (those out of contract specifically).
However, there is a caveat.
If clubs do not have 25 players over the age of 21, they can still add to their squad - but you are not allowed to leave a space specifically for that purpose.
Former Sheffield United forward Carl Asaba has been telling BBC Radio Sheffield's Blades Heaven podcast about why he will be enjoying the season whatever happens.
Speaking on BBC Radio Sheffield's Blades Heaven podcast, Sheffield United chief executive Stephen Bettis said influences outside the club's control impacted their transfer window: "We did everything as quickly as we could. No-one was sitting at home relaxing, thinking we can do that in a week's time. We were pushing as hard as we could to try to get every deal across the line as quickly as possible.
"The reality is they took the time that they did because of all the complexities in it, so I don't think it was in anyone's part that they're not doing their job properly for this football club. Everyone was working tirelessly."
On the timescale of Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge's departures, he said: "We wanted both players to stay at the football club - 100%. I wanted them, the manager wanted them, the owner wanted them to stay - so everyone was aligned in that respect. We did everything we could to keep the players here.
"My job is to keep this club on the right path and use the money correctly, and I feel that is what happened with those [transfers].
"Just before the start of the season, Tottenham sold Harry Kane - and this is football. We don't control the offers and when they come in, and we don't control the players' reaction to the those. We're all human beings and, at that point, we just have to address it, move with it and transition to the next step.
"All clubs are experiencing it to certain levels. I just think our experience was maybe a little more than that - and that's because we actually have good players here that other clubs want to take and pay big money for."
