Much better final 20 minutes performance. And fair play to Eriksen put in abit of effort in second half
Queue at Tottenham Hale is painful. Gone to the pub.
The beers really flow easily when you’re sat watching the band
Next time, bossIf I saw this I would’ve got you a drink
In a way, yes. However, in another way, it would be great if we could stop being complete divs and giving soft goals/pens/red cards away, when we're up against it as it is.In a way it was better to win in the circumstances we did instead of cruising to a 4-0 win.
Dug in, showed some balls, fought for each other etc
Happy days
Sit? I’ve only been twice, there was nowhere to sit. Has that changed?The beers really flow easily when you’re sat watching the band
And if Leicester and one of United or Arsenal win the race for 4th will be back on.
Let's not start talking about races until we've sorted ourselves out.

No doubt Aurier has been roundly lambasted for getting sent off but, for what it's worth, I think he was unfortunate.
The tackle for the first booking was probably unnecessary but I thought a yellow card was harsh. It was clumsy. It wasn't reckless, he wasn't out of control or lunging, and giving a free kick was probably all it deserved.
I don't think the incident where he was given the second yellow was even a foul. The camera from behind the incident showed that, instead of chasing the ball, the Southampton player was running on a diagonal away from the ball in an attempt to block off Aurier from running to the ball. He was running in a line that was inevitably going to result in contact with Aurier, and when that happened he did exactly what you would expect: he hit the deck. Unfortunately, when incidents such as that happen and the ref deems it to be a foul he is going to give a yellow every time. It's an obvious decision to give a yellow card, and unless the ref had the same view as the one I've just described you can't blame him for it. (I wonder, does the VAR review all incidents when there is a sending-off? If so, he should have got involved.)
Anyway, as I say, I thought he was unfortunate; and therefore undeserving of the vilification he has doubtless received and will continue to receive.
Watching Everton makes me realise that it could be worse...
Fucked up badly for their goal, would have been comical had it happened to another team.
But fair play to Hugo, produced a couple of top quality saves when needed in the 2nd half.
