Match Threads Spurs vs Qarabag FK

Saw this on the highlights and it was my favorite part. Look at the excitement and expectation from the father - knows what's about to happen and is so excited for another joyful celebration of another Spurs goal with his son. Another memory for his little boy, already fully COYS at that age and ready for miserable disappointment that this social experiment club is for the rest of his life. As a dad, it warmed my heart. At least...I think and hope this geezer is this lad's father Maybe an uncle or something or other

This is exactly how I feel and I'm really disappointed that it's so black and white in here.

I'm glad we won but did I enjoy the game overall? No I didn't. At least not the first half, which I think was borderline kamikaze football.

Look on the bright side...... If Jose or Conte had been in charge they would have parked the bus after 10 minutes and played out a dismal 0-0.

To dare is to do and all that......

I take your point. And it’s not that there aren’t elements to enjoy from that.

But play it again five times and we lose several of them if we play like that with 10 men.

Play it again five times? What is this, more Marvel multiverse shit?

Or he's anticipating Johnson's typical finishing and is using the boy as a human shield...

This is the Solanke goal

How is anyone doing getting to the stadium? How long were the delays? Buses and the overground from Seven Sisters even affected?

Curious to hear how bad it's been, hope you guys make it in time for the 835 ko!

Left in plenty of time to arrive (in normal circumstances) well before kick off but the traffic was so bad we abandoned the car in Hackney and got on a 149 which then proceeded to move at a snail's pace while having a row with a drunk man playing Backstreet Boys out loud on his phone while berating the driver for not going faster even though the bus lanes and the road were blocked with cars, we eventually bailed at Stoke Newington and walked past about 30 more buses which were stuck before we crossed into Stamford Hill where we were able to get on a 279 and we arrived at the match about a minute before Dragusin brought the fella down and got sent off. Yeah it was bad and we were very grateful for the delayed kick off!

I hope we don't take these lightly. I think they're going to be strong enough and have a point to prove.

They proved a point alright...
How unbelievably shit unfortunate a team can be.

A head scratcher for me is people who say: "But Qarabag could have scored three or four" when qualifiying the praise for our 3-0 win over a team who gave Leverkusen nightmares in the Europa League last season where they actually did score four across the two games but those same people when discussing the Newcastle and Arsenal games were not interested in what goals we could have scored but only in the final outcome. At least be consistent in your narrative, is it all about the journey or the destination?
