Jose is the greatest man that ever lived. And dele the second

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the pudding-race!

Weel are ye wordy o'a grace
As lang's me arm.

Not all are as cultural as us spurs fans.
It’s always odd seeing Eric speak Portuguese. A bit like seeing a bouncer quote Juvenal whilst stoving someone’s head in
I knew a guy that used to call us "oven dodgers"A fellow Spammer work colleague used to refer to me as the ‘bacon dodger’

The best way to analyse blakeys myopic and blinkered posts is to put him on ignore. Its the only way they make any sense.That's just your take ... the reality is for 70 minutes we had 70% possession without front four keeping the West Ham boys playing it aimlessly forward, Dier did a fine job sweeping up in front of the defence. In the last twenty West Ham had 70% possession and the ball was going over or around Dier with Antonio being given time and space out wide.
You can blame Dier for our attacking players switching off / getting subbed but that would be just plain wrong. Dier didn't "invite pressure" we lost control of the possession that's what invited the pressure, didn't know Dier was playing as our ball retaining midfield player, did anyone?
Sometimes your weird take on games is baffling. Guess Sissoko being caught out at right back was his fault when in fact it was our actual right back who ran out of energy and went AWOL for the last ten minutes? yeah thought so .....
I wonder what his take was on Eriksen not giving us an outlet in terms of inviting pressure.....That's just your take ... the reality is for 70 minutes we had 70% possession without front four keeping the West Ham boys playing it aimlessly forward, Dier did a fine job sweeping up in front of the defence.

That would be Sissoko's fault .... as per Blakey's usual posts ....I wonder what his take was on Eriksen not giving us an outlet in terms of inviting pressure.....
My spammers mate just back from the game complaining about ref!!
FFS we over ran them from minute 1 and 2-3 flattered them..cheeky twat
The ref made one obvious mistake (well, obvious to us watching on TV), booking Diop when he'd been fouled by Kane. Maybe another when he blew for a foul although Dele was clear through, although the resulting free kick led to the third goal, so no one's going to complain too much about that.You should read the last 5 pages on KUMB, the thick fuckers reckon Ryan Fredericks tackle on Son was a brilliant tackle and wasn’t even a yellow or a free kick.
This lot whinge about the refs after every loss ( which is most weeks) more than Any club I know.

Other than that I thought he was OK, as were the linesmen who got most calls spot on.
Morning you beautiful bunch. How good does it feel waking up after a win?
Dier fries my head but he was not the reason we ended up parking the bus yesterday.Dier in DM being robust but also making simple passes look difficult and dragging the game backwards when the pressure was on second half.
I dunno - It's all Greek to me.It's always confused me as to WHY spoken Portugese sounds Russian!
I worked over there years ago on a show that was recorded in Portugese (unsurprisingly enough!)
...actually, I was there on the day of Lasagne-gate against these cunts today, (ironically!) ...and I remember thinking then what an odd sounding language it was... bearing in mind it should be a 'Latin' language!

Well, I overdid the celebratory drinks and my youngest was up all night with a fever.Morning you beautiful bunch. How good does it feel waking up after a win?
As the second half wore on.What???
