While the home support was magnificent, even the Paxton was giving it large all night, start to finish. I have to say very disappointed in the Woolwich fans.

They made a racket walking up the High Road behind their police escort but inside the ground I think it's fair to say even the Man City fans made more noise, and Man City fans are fucking awful.

Don't bother turning up to the NLD if you're not gonna contribute lads.

What a night that was. It was just like the old days.
The atmosphere before the game was amazing and like we haven’t seen for a long time. I have never seen such a scared bunch of away fans. They were surrounded by double the amount of police, horses and followed up by a couple of riot vans and they were still whinging, an absolute embarrassment.
The atmosphere during the game was also first class, made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

It was such a big night but like I mentioned in the original match post, I was not a bit nervous and was only looking forward to smashing them, as their players are all bottlers and I knew they would not be able to handle the hostile atmosphere and that is exactly what happened. They froze like rabbits in the headlights and we absolutely smashed the granny out of them which I feel they will carry into Monday night’s game at Newcastle.

As a spurs fan it would be normal and expected to say their fans were poor but oh my god how shit and embarrassing they were. Never heard a peep out of them and many left with half an hour left, what an utter mess they were.

We proved last night that the weak underbelly has left this group of players and they knew what’s this game meant to them, the club and the fans..

An utter beautiful beautiful night.. COYS!!

Perfectly put, my friend.
 
Just watched artets interview, what an embarrassment that guy is. He really thinks he’s a pep or mourinho in the way he talks. The ref got the big decisions right, he should be thanking him that holding didn’t get a straight red and instead got a second yellow. His team folded under the pressure after we got the 1st and the atmosphere tuned up even more, nothing to do with the refs

Woolwich started well. Their press was excellent and Tottenham struggled to pass out from the back. Kulusevski and Gabriel threatened to throw hands but thought better of it. Son and Rob Holding had no such reservations. Their battle commenced when the latter dug a knee into the former’s back, before they indulged in an amateur wrestling match barely a minute later.

Holding felt he had the advantage at that point. He walked away from the second incident with a wry smile on his face, Son struggling to contain his frustration and having vaguely swung a lazy elbow towards the centre-half as they scuffled on the floor.

That hubris did not last. Woolwich sought to reduce this to a series of one-versus-ones: Ben Davies on Bukayo Saka, Emerson Royal v Gabriel Martinelli and Cedric against Cedric was a riveting undercard to Holding and Son’s main event. But they seemingly forgot to play the match itself. All Tottenham had to do was keep their composure and pick at the many threads in an untidy gameplan.

Son winning that duel so decisively was instructive. It was he who won the penalty as the filling to a crumbling sandwich between Cedric and Holding. It was he who earned Holding a nominatively deterministic yellow card, followed by an inevitable red within seven minutes of each other. It was he who delivered the corner for the second goal. It was he who scored the third.
