Newcastle vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[greaves]

They're an "anti-extremist" group, but their marches concentrate exclusively on Islamic extremism and terrorism and they have a substantial overlap in attendees with Britain First/the EDL. A mix of far-right racists and hooligans looking for a respectable label and more innocent people who've bought into it without realising.

Thanks. I have read 'Gerry Farr, one of the admins on the FLA facebook page seems to be a big fan of ex EDL leader Tommy Robinson, a man who built a career on targeting Muslims and stirring up hatred against them.'. So images of the organisation make me uncomfortable. Quite apart from the sexism...

Yep. They also had the likes of Toni Bugle - the founder of "Mothers Against Radical Islam and Sharia" - speaking at their rally. They're not a very pleasant bunch of people. Going by YouTube it seems, unsurprisingly, to be predominantly West Ham and Millwall supporters.

Don't get me involved! Marching against it seems as pointless as marching against murder! What's the point?!

You've been groomed by the far right mate !
When's your next march?

Seriously though, yeah it's pretty dumb when you think about.

Bit of a reach I think... but this isn't the thread for it so I'll stop spamming the place up!

Fuck off rose

Statement from streetspur77 management:

Having had time to consider my actions, I acknowledge that the timing and manner of what I said was ill-judged. My words were not meant to offend and I apologise to rob, the mods and any fellow SCs. I'd also like to wish the lads good luck in the daily ITK thread tomorrow.

However I will not delete it because I love those sweet sweet positive ratings

Thought it was interesting that listening to various Post Match Interviews, Poch mentions in every one that the pitch was really dry and this caused us problems and that we were not able to move the ball around as quickly as we would like.

They were saying on the commentary yesterday that Watford hadn't watered their pitch and it was dry which caused that problem for Liverpool, not a coincidence then.

It made me think how many times have we moaned about pedestrian football and that there may have been a good reason for it.

How can not watering a pitch make u let in 2 goals from corners lol?

Not sure why so many people were having a pop at Dier. He did fine today, not amazing, but not worth the words on here. I don't get why people have to single out individuals to be a scapegoat if things aren't going to plan. It would be nice if Spurs fans didn't do that.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I'm very unsure what I think about the overall performance. Either, we played finally like a team actually capable of winning a trophy. That is that cool, confident, effortless way of playing in style, never wasting one calorie actually trying, but just being better.

Or, we are not up to speed yet at all and were helped over the finish line by a red card and injury to important players.

Agreed! Especially in the matches Sissoko is staring.
