Match Southampton Vs Tottenham - 28th Dec - 3pm KO (Live On Amazon Prime)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He hates Kane much more than he loves Spurs. He would have genuinely hated for Harry to score the winner for us today.

Yeah it's really sad. How any Spurs fan can feel anything but fucking outraged at the referees suddenly deciding to change their interpretation of the rules especially for that goal is beyond me. Comparing it to a Ben Davies goal which was obviously offside? Fucking hell.
 
mate he's onside and it's not even to do with the 'new rules'.
The red line they did ran through his fucking arm and not the end of his shoulders. The black part of our away kit clearly shows where the end of the shoulders are and VAR cocked it up.

Yeah, I dunno if they drew shit lines but it looked entirely fine to me. But regardless, if it's off then it's by fucking inches, and by their own rules it's STILL not meant to be given.

Just a fucking all round farce.
 
I said before that a draw was a reasonable result. That was based on our poor away form and that we were bound to slip up at some time. The way it started I would have accepted a draw but not when we played 50 mins against 10 men but could not score. Teams had stopped just defending against us but it showed that we still have a problem when they do. However we were unlucky with both the disallowed goals and another day they would have counted.
Reason has fuck all to do with football results. That said, Spurs were robbed today.
 
Just seen the lines used by Atkinson.. the line used for the defender is in the middle of his foot and not the furthest part forward.

This is why VAR is such a joke in this country, it’s the clueless idiots using it that is the problem.
 
The post-match analysis/commentary of this one really does highlight the media bias that some clubs get and others don't.

If those decisions today were given against Liverpool, the pundits would be calling for an investigation. Just like how in our match vs. them the narrative was all about the Kane challenge (and then of course there's no narrative about Morton actually breaking someone's leg the next match and getting only a yellow).

Today though, the "offsides" and "keeper foul" are just part of the highlights package and are assumed to be correct calls, and are quickly moved on from.
 
Looked leggy we did and understandable playing 48 hours ago. 2 points dropped though. Still have doubts hoijberg is good enough for us. Time to stop spending on infrastructure now levy and invest in squad. Traore is a no brainer. Need to speed things up. Kessie will happen i reckon.
But they played a much tougher game 48 hours ago v better oppo away at spam. Why people keep
Making excuses. They changed 6 players some of who have not stated since last year we changed 3 -and have had a good “rest”. Yet they certainly didn’t play as if they had a weakened team
Out there whilst we played as usual our slow sit back and try to counter football. They pressed the shit out of us in the first half and kept it up in the 2nd defending.
 
He's scored 0 in 17 games, I really don't understand what some posters here see in him.
Oh My God Reaction GIF
hes big and strong
 
We play better 11v11. We can’t break down a low block to save our life. Surprised we didn’t see N’dombele today. Thought that’s what we needed in the second half.
We weren’t playing better against their 11 today. It felt like a step backwards with all the possession we gifted them. No drive without Lucas or Skipp. Deli should not play again. So disappointing after some better performances. Conte should have tried Tanguy for the last 15 at least but clearly doesn’t trust him. Thank fuck Diers brain fart didn’t cost us more!
