Doing well
Ref saw the check clear from Pep at the 90th minute and tried his best to get Palace a point.
In all seriousness, horrible refereeing there. Good resilience from Spurs in what was a frustrating game for them. Johnson was fantastic.
We’re going to be hearing “first time since '61” quite a bit
Mate.
0 days since the last VAR shitshow
Gary Neville being a prat as usual…
You won’t challenge. Half of your fans are saying a title challenge should not be the expectation. Gary is annoying sometimes but he’s right about that. It’s 10 games in.
Moaning aside — how did Bentancur do?
Looked confident, hard to say much more than that.
Gary Neville on Sky Sports being an absolute bellend about Spurs right now
Hope he eats his word s
What did he say?
Just saying that Spurs have no chance of winning the league or even of being a contender for it, generally downplaying how good we’ve been and painting it as an aberration.
It’s true though, and I say that as a Spurs fan.
If we had some bench options for CB and maddison/Son then I might agree but right now we are an injury away from being unable to score or keep goals at bay.
Sarrrrrr dude
he is immense. i get the feeling we don’t fully appreciate what he does on the pitch for us
Almost shed a tear when I saw him sprinting down the right wing in the 90th minute
Stepping up every single match
Tottenham have a fucking midfield
Speak for yourself. I’ve been talking about his off-the-ball genius for two months now.
We need better fullbacks
How did that goal stand? At least two angles where the handball was obvious
how was there not a SINGLE card in that entire match?!?
i know it’s pretty much impossible, but it would be hilarious if spurs win it this year just after kane left
It would be even more hilarious if bayern don’t win the league. If that actually happens I’d retire if i were kane. Maybe get into golf like bale did
Just go kick in the NFL
He be the first academy player to score a FG at the stadium.
I know it’s pretty much impossible, but it would be hilarious if we could go one match thread without someone commenting this same comment after Kane left
i’m sorry this is happening to you.
If Spurs lose enough games it’ll happen.
Long may it continue.
We won’t ever get a match thread without it. But what if we did? Nah, its impossible.
Unless…
Unlucky Stuart Attwell, wanker.
Vicario has turned out to be a gem
Between him, Maddison, Van der Ven, and Johnson, Spurs have had a great transfer window
If you forget Conte’s terrorism, Sarr and Bissouma are like new signings too
If you forget Conte’s terrorism
I’ve been trying but I think my brain needs bleach
I hate to say it, but so far I think Spurs have had the best transfer window. Maddison alone was an absurd bit of business, but they’ve just improved everywhere.
It’s the manager and the style of football.
Everyone is talking up the players and that’s fair; they’re doing it on the field but the difference is the manager.
