Match Threads Southampton vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 2

[Dougal]

Was watching on Premier Sports. Are we still 1-0 down?

 

[DJS]

Due to subscription fuck up dad will be watching this on deal so have to keep score line from him on pain of death ??

 

[idontgetit]

Surely it's easier aiming for a defenders arm in the box than it is curling the ball in the top corner past ten players.

 

[Harryson]

All 7 goals were scored by Tottenham players

(Have a think about it ?)

 

[Who’s our next manager?]

So now strikers can just kick the ball at defenders hands in the area and you get a penalty. Glad that’s clear. We should start doing that every game.

The example set by Mane in the Champions League final

That decision is just as stupid as the one at Utd yesterday. No intent in either case.

It's not VAR. It's the rules.

To clarify this further in both cases the ref has come over to view it himself and in both situations awarded a penalty.

VAR and the ref are implementing the rules. The rules are stupid. This will change in a few weeks after the on-going complaints where everyone in the game are in disbelief.

At 5-1 it doesn't impact the result. However, imagine if it was a tight game and we were winning just 1-0.

Even worse decision today as it deflected off Winks’ heel

 

[fuzzylogic]

Much better in the second half offensively. Defending today was very worrying though, good 3 points though

 

[Haddock]

The short summary: Shambles defensively, superb effectiveness up front.

 

[ilikeost]

We were lucky to win that game and yet we won it 5-2... What a strange fucking game.

 

[Amo]

Not sure but apparently Mussolini died.

 

[mmidgers]

Where did that second half come from!?

 

[worcestersauce]

Harry Kane makes four scores one but if he wants Man of the Match he can sod off!?

 

[mark87]

Levy definitely looked like the Sith just then.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Apart from a couple of players these are the same players that stopped chasing and running for Poch , need more fresh blood.

I knew that was the answer , blood transfusions at half time

 

[thebenjamin]

Who is it is trying to destroy football with these rule changes? Why do they hate football so much?

 

[easley91]

I won't say no to Ings if he comes either. Him as a back-up or partner to Kane would be so good.

 

[nattydredd]

A few years ago I couldn't wait for this this sort of game to start, now I'm flled with utter dread.
I hope I'm proven totally wrong today, but I can't see us getting anything out of this today.

If we play well and get beat, well fair enough, but this turgid form of late just has to improve.

I feel like I've been taken back to the 90's here.

Sorry I can't be more upbeat, but it's the way I feel.

Haha, shows what you know, yer dumb twat...oh hang on..

 

[Timberwolf]

You shouldn't let the type of people than become referees decide the rules of football. By their very nature, they just don't get the spirit of the game.

It's just common sense but these jobsworth ****s still manage to get it wrong year after year.

 

[glacierSpurs]

How Winks can stay throughout the 90 minutes is a mystery. But I hope Mourinho can see the limitations in him and adjust the personnel accordingly.

 

[sausage]

Well at least VAR will get rid of blatant imbalance in decisions eh
