But they were the best team in the country at the time. I've looked up the cup game against City, and that looks terrible though.Man Utd 5 Spurs 3, we were 3 up at half time and cruising.
It's a case of hindsight being 20/20. Any of us would have assumed a 3-0 lead was safe at 70 mins.
But taking Ndombele off meant we lost control of the midfield.
I think on balance I actually prefer it when we are shit, I found peace after the Everton game, I'd come to terms with the fact this season was going to be the same old pony as last year, then we get a few decent results and have a great transfer window, I couldn't sleep last night through nerves and as soon as the first West Ham goal went in I knew it was going to be a draw. It was unshakable inevitable feeling that I can only get with Spurs. Just knew it deep in the bones.
At least if we were shit there would be no hope.
Spot on.
Immediately after the game I was thinking why do I have to go through this endless torture?
I had written the season off after Everton but we go and have that great week and I get fully onboard the title train.
I am working on letting it affect me less though... I think it's improving.
I don't often agree with KaneDomBadBoy , but in this instance I stand shoulder to shoulder with you.APSOIDJFOIAJEOPAJFSDGSERSDGFRSDRFG
THIS! Lloris made an incredible dive as well to cover the whole goal except a tiny little postage stamp in the corner. Some days you just have to question what he have done to deserve Spurs.In spite of how thoroughly fucking pissed off I am at that capitulation, 999/1000 times Lanzini does not hit a thunderbolt right into the top corner with the last kick of the game from 40 yards out.
It should never, ever have got to that stage in this game, but fuck me, he caught it as well as he could have - even with Winks toe poking out to him at the perfect speed and angle to let rip.
So fucking annoyed at that second half (& will be skilfully avoiding that twat next door for a while)
Given Serge's field of view (especially in the first pic) and where the ball is, I don't see why trying to get a foot on it is a problem.Why is Serge getting involved? Step back.
If I could click agree to every point I would.Still fuming and this one is gonna take a while to shrug off.. One positive I can take is thank fuck I wasn't there - that journey home would have been horrific.
Simply have to stop throwing games/points away. That's it. No more Spurs ffs.
True, but given the small sample size of 3 matches that'll turn around very quickly. Besides, all three are pretty explainable beyond the pure result:Our home form this season is fucking wank
What’s the most disappointing is since we went 3-0 up, Kane hitting the post and Bales late effort (I may have missed one) was the only two chances we had in 70 mins of football....they totally bossed us 2nd half.....this game had 6-0 written all over it and a statement made, but 3-3 was never on the cards, we simply collapsed, and in my opinion that collapse is the worst I’ve seen in living memory, considering how long was left and who the opposition was....
