  • Spurs V Wham might be a decent 12:30 game for a change
  • Spuds v Spam, would usually want Spam to win but obviously their owner has thrown his lot in with the cartel. Also noticeable that Spuds didn’t give evidence against us in the recent AP case. Can watch as a neutral and just hope for a decent game
  • Come on the Hammers! Make them go all Spursy again
  • I'd "luv it" if it happened.
  • The transformation of mccoist from half decent pundit to scottish gobshite has been rapid
  • 0-1 Can't wait for Popeeglobulitis's interview after the match :)
  • You could hear the Spurs fans choking in the cheese room when that went in
  • That what theyve replaced the trophy room with?
  • They may as well; what use have they got for a trophy room?
  • You know you're in a bad way when you're applauding Richarlison warming up!
  • Maddison rolling about trying to get a move to gooners
  • The rare two-post goal.
  • Fuck it
  • Quite an enjoyable game to watch, this.

  • Aye just the 9 goals in our last 2 games we must try harder
  • enjoyable welcome back to premier league football after the international break this.
  • Cracking goal. Was just about to say that the crowd were quiet for a Derby.
  • WTF 3-1
  • 4-1
  • Superb by Son
  • Son is so bloody good one on one at that angle
  • Spurs taking piss bringing Werner on.
  • Fight!!!!
  • That's 2 red cards isn't it!
  • This referee is a complete dick, along with the two prats commentating..
  • VAR's soft. Shame. Felt the initial decision was fine
  • Completely lost his head there Kudus
  • Ref had no option. He slapped two players in the face.
  • Mcoist "by the letter of the law it's a red but just book him on get on with the game"
    Judge "you committed murder and the law says you should spend your life in jail but fuk it let's go down the boozer"

  • Don't think Rodri should have been sent off either
You can spot the plastic fans when they make the ’ol cabinet trophy joke. They seem to believe football didn’t exist up until forty years ago.

Yes, we have four trophies in four decades. Prior to that we had quite a few. Better question for them is… how many trophies did you have before you hit the winning lottery ticket and became a nation state team that could drop 200m per transfer window without blinking.

I have an irrational hatred of their newer fans. It’s like they have no idea, how fortunate they are. The massive financial gift they were given.

Without UAE being their owners, I’d love to see what their record would have looked like if they had to abide by the financial restrictions of everyone else , until FPP has come along to at least somewhat impose parity.

Liverpool also have 6 wins from the last 7.
Yes in the league, 7 out of 8 in fact. If you want to look at all comps they have also won 2 out of 2 in Europe and beaten West Ham in the EFL which means they've lost 1 game in 11.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to prove here.

Never mind then. Spurs will win 2 games in the next week without conceding and away fans will still say Spurs are inconsistent, Ange is about to be fired and Spurs are weak at the back.

"Where were you when you were shite?" doesn't get sung enough at games, imo.

But, that said, also feel that the Nicola Berti song doesn't get sung enough so I wouldn't listen to me.

Somewhat impose parity is generous still at this stage.

FFP is still a joke until City actually get punished for their 115 charges, and Chelsea are not allowed to sell hotels to sister companies to offset losses.

But nobody really takes City seriously. They've applied the cheat code in a pay to win game.

It's funny seeing some of the comments when we went 1 down. Like it's game over. Then again we get some overreacting in the match threads too.

  • Mo Kudus 0-1
    Spurs defence is so so bad.
  • Was just about to write them are a shambles at the back.
  • Spurs man
    [emoji38]
    . Absolutely dominating, can’t score and West Ham convert on their first real effort.
  • Thought spurs had come out to prove a point after last game, but they've just got no idea what to do when defending on their left hand side
  • Spurs 1 West Ham 1
    Kulisevski
  • Man, he’s such a good player. Keeper probably should have had it, though.
  • Well that's what happens when you allow attack after attack.
    Stop sitting back and attack West Ham.
  • You say that - but they (Spurs) got the goal from a counter attack.
    Not sitting back is what cost them.
  • I fucking hate Maddison
  • Canny half
  • Spurs 2 West Ham 1
    Bisouma
  • Hell of a goal that
  • Spurs are capable of collapsing too. WH comeback would be hilarious
  • This could get quite horrific for the Ammers
  • This is proper Ange's style of football
  • Kudo’s to Kudus for being a psycho
    [emoji38]

  • Kudus has multiple reds there. He had two kicks at him on the ground and then slapped two of them

They're not fans, they are glory hunters and had they been born 15 years ago, they'd be United fans.

What’s interesting across all of these is you see the same comments as you see from our own fan base that aren’t actually backed up by facts. Our defence isn’t a shambles - we’ve got the joint 5th best record in the league. We don’t constantly concede because of a suicidally high line - the only goal we’ve conceded of that type is the winner against Newcastle. We’ve improved massively from set pieces - only one goal against so far this year.

id actually argue the biggest defensive issue is letting chances be created too easily against a set defence because we need to get tighter to players (both on and off the ball)

I think some of it (with Spurs fans) is just PTSD, but it does feel that while we don't cough up a lot of chances, the ones we do are really good chances - 1 on 1s with the keeper or Vic making huge saves fairly regularly.

But, it could all just be the adrenaline. 🤷‍♂️

When you listen to the criticism of our defence, it's useful to compare to others. I was going to do top 10, then noticed Knoxingham Fortrest. That's superb, and likely to mean Premier League survival for them. Liverpool's 3 if superb.

Our problem is inconsistency, I guess that comes with dull, well drilled football that sucks the life out of the crowd.

It really is as simple as had we not collapsed against Brighton we'd be fifth and nearly everybody (with any sense) would be taking us seriously.

I got really scarred by that match too, which I why I myself went totally irrational when West Ham scored. It was so bad in my eyes that I stopped seeing the wood for the trees, and for opposition fans that match was banter manna from heaven. It's the sort of match that, irrationally or not, sticks in the mind so much longer than our good wins do. That is why we get comments like those from most other sets of fans.

Agreed. Nine conceded in eight games and three of them in one match is not that bad. Even the best teams are letting goals in. Liverpool have only played one of the top eight teams whereas we have played three of them. Let's see what their defensive record looks like in a couple of weeks after playing successive games against Arsenal, Newcastle, Villa and coming to our place. As for Forest, they have only played seven so let's see how they sit after playing Palace, however, they have had three very tough opponents (Chelsea, Brighton, Liverpool- all away from home) so I would argue that their defensive record is statistically even better than Liverpool's at the moment. I can't imagine it will be sustainable for the season though as teams look at what they have been doing and how to counter it.

For me, I am quite relaxed when we go a goal down because I have confidence we will score. When we have still not conceded after 30mins, then I think this is a remarkable start.

Its funny how they all get stuck in when we go behind lick a pack of Wolves.

When we go ahead, very little acknowledgement of how well we've played.

I've found the best litmus test to discriminate between real Man City fans and bandwagon jumpers is to say "Bell, Book and Summerbee". If they say "you what?" they are the latter.
