Just noticed the progress pride flag on the corner tunnel, that's a nice touch. A shame it's been defaced with the spurs badge, but still.

They're all younger than me except Jorginho xD. Partey is younger than me by about 4 months

I'd like him a little more if he didn't flop around so much

2

If he wasn't a cunt. Still remembering that derby that lost us top 4. Among many other cases.

Why are the Spuds singing When the Saints go Marching in? Lol I think they're at the wrong stadium

3

Honestly they should just steal North London Forever, that's a song that actually works for them. If you ignore the MV and that Dunford is a Gooner and the non-chorus bits.

They've been singing that for years and I've never understood why. Especially now with So'ton back.

even more stupid then, no? just make up your own song, we've been doing it for years.

I kinda feel like we're throwing stones in a glass house when every time our German striker in our London club scores, we sing a rip off of This Time for Africa

1

Ok but there's a massive difference between making a chant with the same tune but half the lyrics are different and literally changing one word from the same song sung by a different club.

2

Yeah, I'm sure there may be some other teams in the pyramid that makes sense for, literally The Saints being one of them. Spurs though, I have no idea... maybe in celebration of Saint Totteringhams day? They're a bit early though

1
lemm.ee

The gaping hole left by not having Ødegaard in the team is painful.

3

yeah, that right side is struggling a little bit more than it usually does. Timber is making some good runs though.

2
lemmy.world

Vicario, bentancur, Timber, saliba... don't think any were deserving of yellows.

2
Astrealixreply
lemmy.world

what I don't get is why Bentancur's was for the delay and not the tackle lmfao

lemmy.world

In the context of a NLD, I'd be annoyed if that had been given against one of our guys.

1

I might be a little anoyed but I'd think it's fair and our guy woulda been stupid for doing that much in one go.

tbf credit to him to getting there in the first place but yea

3

Yeah, he still did well. The pass from Nwaneri was slick to get him there too

Thankfully I wasn’t following this feed earlier. I didn’t feel the nerves many of you seem to have been feeling. I never thought we looked like getting beaten today. Yeah we sat to deep after we scored but we always seemed to have and answer to any Spurs attacks and Rays had everything covered. Solid mature performance despite missing some key players.

3

I thought we sat not deep enough after we scored, lol. Spurs had quite a few attacks even though we had answers, that gave me some worry.

2

I was nervous before the game started. After that, I wasn't feeling nervous until maybe the final 15 minutes (including extra time). I was semi-confident when the subs came on too since I felt fresh legs could have made an impact and they almost nearly did.

1

After Rice, I have to be harsh on Saliba and say you can't be doing that.

Timber gets a card for winning the ball and having a front row seat to Porro breaking his own ankle. Of course the physios were never called on for this life-threatening injury.

Meanwhile, Spuds have gotten 5 players booked. Levels.

2
lemmy.world

how much spurs praise do I have to hear on this fucking commentary.

2
lemmy.world

Spuds have this weird aura that makes commentators gush over them despite not really accomplishing much.

1
Astrealixreply
lemmy.world

the worst part is I think they're praising the wrong bits. Their defence has been pretty solid but they just keep praising the attack lol.

2

Their defence is definitely their strong point but generally you're not a "big club" unless your emphasis is on attack, what some describe as "front-footed". So they try and hype them up as marauding attackers when they're not. Plus, Ange wasn't famous for being defensively sound, but for playing suicidally forward.

1

@Astrealix Me neither. That’s what makes it so wonderful. Just watching the match and listening for the Gunners players names.

2

How is that not a freekick? That would probably have been a yellow in the first half.

2

Oh wow what a surprise Jarred Gillett has broken a record for most yellows in the first half apparently.

2
lemmy.world

Vicario getting a yellow, good, but also when has a gk getting a yellow ever mattered.

2

He's low on confidence so he wants the goal to get back into form. I get it but it's very frustrating.

2

So is Romero gonna get a card for delaying the game? Man's just sitting down and taking a break.

2

I managed to catch most of the main moments from the first half, I think, but Timber feels pretty solid defensively

2
lemmy.world

In fairness to the Tottenham crowd, don't think our away end has been quite as drowned out as this in a while.

2

That's fairly uncommon. Shows how massive our away support is. Like a home crowd packed into the away end

1
lemmy.world

Romero sits down, nothing. Saka does and the crowd are booing? Fuck off

2
Astrealixreply
lemmy.world

Plus it seems like Saka's actually gonna need to go off as well. Which... fuck.

2
lemmy.world

Late the the game, what the fuck is with these yellows...

2
Astrealixreply
lemmy.world

Honestly, ruining the game for both sides, I want my prime barclays fighting back

2

I thought England and the league praised tough, dig in, hard yakka players. You wrap your arms around a player, he flops down like a roll of wet doo paper and you get a yellow, lol.

1

there's never been a 0-0 draw at the new shite hart lane, says the commentary. Quite frankly, how.

1

Oh good we get a yellow card for delaying a free kick again, remember when Szoboslai didn't get one to get sent off literally yesterday

1
lemmy.world

The commentator just said white shirts, white faces. What??? Lol

1

Actually, thinking about it, it may have meant in regards to being pale due to fear or something like that

1
Astrealixreply
lemmy.world

Nwaneri on for Trossard in a couple of minutes. Just need him to play a bit, we can't only use 3 midfielders for the next god knows how long.

2

I'd like to see him play too. Wonder if Arteta only risks it if we're in a dominant position

1

Why are they still talking about Romero in the corner, it's just good from us.
