Our fighting spirit.

[Nine while nine]

Whole squad out for lunch today in the sun, passing a phone round showing Dier's tackles. Having a laugh at that whiney melt Fabregas who hurt his vagina wiping hand.

Team: We'd like some lunch please.

Waiter: You all booked?

Team: All apart from Hugo and Toby

Waiter: And what would you like to eat?

Team: Chops a la Eric Dier, please.

Waiter: You mean you'd like them meaty, well done and you don't care if they're late. OK. And to drink. A Portuguese Wine, perhaps?

Team: Nah, we've had enough of Costa. Get us some Danny Rosé instead.

Waiter: Ah. I know it well. Effervescent, with a powerful kick. Finally, Ice Cream afterwards?

Team: Just like Cesc, eh, Erik?


Et cetera. Et cetera.

Apparently Lloris to come on talksport for a chat now...with that idiot Durham

Any recap on this?

 

[yankspurs]

Also, ive really been holding off on saying this because I know i'll be slated on here but it's bugging me.

I saw the incidents when they happened live and now ive watched replays of the incidents like 10 times. When the 2 sides came together a couple of times, all of our players went over and got into the thick of things.

But there was always Eriksen on the outskirts not really doing anything and just standing there. He's just so soft. It's my problem with him. He always holds off going in for tackles to win the ball back and doesnt stick his foot in. Now, when the entire team is going at it with chelsea because they are tired of their rhetoric and being pushed around by them, he doesnt even get involved. Like what the fuck man? Man up, ffs.

Tottenham set to win FIFA Fair Play Award after kicking seven bells out of Chelsea

Despite seeing their title hopes ended following a 2-2 draw at London rivals Chelsea on Monday, Tottenham Hotspur still look set to clinch their first bit of silverware under Mauricio Pochettino after being nominated for the FIFA Fair Play Award. The north London outfit picked up a record nine yellow cards at Stamford Bridge after a series of reckless tackles and were applauded by pundits the world over for showing absolutely zero concern for the well-being of their opponents.

Despite the much-coveted prize not traditionally being awarded until the end of the season, new FIFA boss Gianni Infantino dropped a strong hint that this year’s competition was merely a formality after such a passionate and spectacular display of studs-up artistry. Speaking at a press conference in Panama City, the Swiss egg-lookalike extolled the virtues of this young Spurs team, saying that “the Fair Play Award was designed as a recognition of exemplary behaviour, and given that there are about seven billion people in this world who would love nothing more than to needlessly mow down Cesc Fabregas on the halfway line it would be remiss of us not to champion their efforts. Chelsea are the skidmark on the pants of world football and Tottenham team’s efforts to eradicate them from the face of the earth simply cannot go unnoticed.”

Maurading left-back Danny Rose set the tone early on with a robust challenge on Willian, provoking a touchline scuffle during which Diego Costa appeared to headbutt Mousa Dembélé’s finger. Eric Dier then went on a one-man destroying mission, scything down Eden Hazard as he was running at the Tottenham defence and launching himself with both feet at Fabregas’s shins in a robust but fair challenge which left the little Spanish weasel writhing in agony, before Ryan Mason capped a cameo appearance with a last-ditch raking of Hazard’s achilles in the dying embers of the game.

Pochettino initially appeared disappointed that his inexperienced team had succumbed to Chelsea’s obvious baiting, however seemed to have changed his mind when pushed on the subject on the morning following the match. ‘In the heat of the moment I perhaps said some things that I shouldn’t have’, opined the former Argentinian hatchetman on Tuesday. "However, having had time to reflect and re-watch some of the incidents it became apparent that Chelsea are basically just a massive bunch of wankers and, well, fuck them. Fuck them all".

The only sour note for Tottenham was Toby Alderweireld’s failure to pick up a booking from referee Mark Clattenburg, and the defender now looks certain to be disciplined by his club. Pochettino was understandably reluctant to discuss internal matters but admitted that "when even Christian Eriksen, the most inoffensive human to have ever existed, gets cautioned by the referee, you’ve got to be asking yourself how a strapping 6 foot 2 Belgian with an undercut hairstyle so extreme it’s illegal in 63 countries manages to avoid getting his name in the book".

Any recap on this?

Hugos interview was all pretty bland stuff, he mentioned how the players are all looking forward to next season and CL, also said that no one really knows what their limit is.
They were trying to question him more about the tackles/booking etc but he was very diplomatic and just waffled his way out of it.

It's a bit harsh to criticise him for not being rash.

I was thinking along the same line, but for Lloris, who is our captain.. Kinda hope to see him voices out a little bit more..

Costa is a typical bully, thinks he can dish it out as and when he wants to, but cries like a baby when the hero steps up and owns him.

it is his personality i think, he and hugo are the least aggressive in our team (not blaming or criticizing them, just a feeling)

I think he came to play football.

We aren't a push over anymore.

Poch has brought out the killer instinct in all our players.

Need our Captain in the middle of the park ,not between the sticks

When my friends get in stupid fights for reasons I don't believe in, I tend to stand around the outside too.

Man-ing up does not mean jumping into the middle of a pile and getting in a fight. Let him play his football.

Ye he should of got stuck in and got booked Aswell....

I get your point and I agree he is a if soft. I think he used his brain on this occasion though.

 

[riggi]

I watched this game with my daughter...she couldn't understand why whenever we had a corner the vitriol, C word etc and hate constantly hurled at the players trying to take the corners wasn't dealt with by stewards / police ....told her it was disugusting and nothing like that ever happens at the Lane....

It does.

For those implying Hugo is too nice...

 

[THFC_67]

The club need to make it clear that Mousa was provoked by dogface, who was squeezing his back before he lashed out. Video clearly shows that.

Has to mitigate it to some degree.

I think he'll get a 5 match ban.

Two questions and their pretty obvious answers I'd like the FA panel to have in the back of their mind when considering the incident are :

Is Dembele a dirty player with a history of being involved in these kind of situations - NO
Is Costa a dirty player with a history of provoking players and being involved in these kind of situations - YES

Dembele will obviously get a ban, but some of the calls for 10 matches and the like are way over the top.

Coincidence Spurs have been fined twice this year (vs chelsea and wba) for e20 breach of failing to control players... vs 2 of the dirtiest clubs in the league and most frequent e20 offenders.
