Cmon a&c no-one enjoys watching spurs. It's a roller coaster full ofadrenaline, fear, joy almost claustraphobic feel of dread. It's like smoking, drugs and drinking. You know it isn't good for your health but you can't help yourself.
:D

All of which makes it anything but boring. Boring is a different kettle of fish. I'm sorry, I know i'm a flange about this kind of thing but do people not care what they type? Are they insensitive to coming across like spoiled bumboclaats?

Loved Rose's goal. The footage from behind the goal made it look like Sissoko was a human wrecking ball scattering their players, and Rose's finish was smashed home.

Still very much in contention for a CL spot.

I'm never bored. Anyone who has the inbuilt dread everyone else contracted by watching a defense that at one time included John Scales and Ramon Vega, can never be bored by a Spurs match. Remember we were beating Cheslea 5-3 two years ago. At the 80th minute mark, I'd probably still have considered taking the draw if it was offered - I'm not sure I'll ever rid myself of always being convinced the opposition will score every time they cross the halfway line. "They've a throw, 40 yards from goal" - "It's fucked, mate... we're fucked."

We played okay, still not firing on all cylinders. Kane still not fully fit and Lloris needs to practice his passing. A win and we are one point behind the scum. COYS!

Hard fought win, some good performances. Dyche is a dreadful whinger, hate moaning managers. Burnley would be top if refs weren't biased against them!

I saw this as one of those games where the opposition does very well to try and make the game as scrappy as possible, but we still win very deservedly. Other sides have a lot of these games as well.

10 days until Soton, hope Alderweireld is back by then.

I'd really like to see ref's do something about the massive amount of fake injuries and general time wasting that goes on in games like this. It is however, always amusing to see them fall behind and then want to speed everything up and complain to the ref about it!

I couldn't believe it when the ref suggested Lloris was time-wasting when we went 2-1 up. in about the 50th minute they had a throw-in which Ward had in his hands for about 30 seconds!

I take it you missed the West Ham game then, when Son came off the bench and won us the points?
To be fair I forgot about that but overall my point is that our depth in recent years hasn't really been that great, we hardly ever have someone that can make a big impact on a game from the bench, I felt like Sissoko did that today.

Yup. I think some people are so used to moaning, they've forgotten how enjoy a match, nevermind view it and the performances of our players in anyway other than through a negative lens.

Indeed. We played pretty well and won. Happy days.
