Well it would be an example of premier league football!! Spot on. Happens all the time.
Here’s a “specky” just for you anyway. Just as ridiculous!!
If a keeper did that is it a foul?

If a keeper did that is it a foul?
Still a high intensity, very physical sport. The training they do too is mad, those guys are machines. And the travel is on another planet compared to your average PL player.
The level of disrespect for b-ball players is unreal (not saying that for you).
I didn't talk about the NFL cause their seasons are much shorter...16-20 ish games if you make the Super Bowl. Still, the physicality is insane...which is one of the reasons they don't play more games.
The NHL is crazy physical, the toll on those guys' bodies. Yeah yeah they aren't on the ice the whole game, they have line-up swaps, timeouts etc etc. Still, you ever played hockey or followed the sport, it's ridiculous how strong and fit them guys are.
Anyway, apologies to those I offended by comparing the mighty PL and Spurs players to lesser US sports & athletes. Such blasphemous behaviour on my part. Off to cover Porro in bubble wrap right now.

Yes. It’s why you don’t see goalkeepers doing this every match!!
He’s literally kneeling on his shoulders.
The Australians actually gave this move a name. That’s how batshit crazy that sport is!!
Out of them 90 mins, what's the effective playing time? A lot less.
Corner kicks, throw ins, players rolling on the deck for ages after a foul (or nothing), 2min goal celebrations, 56min VAR interventions...
Let's not pretend football is 90min all-action.
I'd rather do the blonde...
Absolutely, my man. I adore the NBA and NHL, but yeah it is too much, way too much. But money money money.
Get your point, but we mainly lost to Liverpool cause they're a proper side and we ain't. Different stratospheres.
So, they weren't a proper side when we beat them?
I think they beat us because they are a better squad right now and also a better team but the fact we've beat them twice in 2 years means it's no fluke. We can hang with them on the right day. The difference in level isn't as wide as it looks in the table atm.
turnip farmers? Really?
didn't think I'd see you sink to that level of mindless abuse
No one is suggesting this. Only that it has an impact
Last year's win was...hum...what's the word I'm looking for?
One day, yes. A whole season? Lol.
Pal, come on...there's 26 pts between them and us. They've lost 1 game, we got 12 Ls already. The difference is and still would be gigantic even if we had beaten Leicester & Newcastle. Results and the table don't lie, especially when the gap is that sick.
If we lost that game would you accept any of the mitigating factors as an excuse?
Not yet, no.
It is big in terms of points difference for sure but in a match-up between us, aside from that 6-3 game. the games are usually very close and our target should be replicating their ability to play at that level as consistently as they do.
Yes we need other players, goes without saying.Is it your considered opinion that we don’t need a striker?
You soft cunts from the South and West. Go and play League. Now that’s brutal.
I had a boyfriend who followed Aussie Rules so I tried to get into it. You can smash the opponent, you can tackle them off the ball, hell you can punch an opponent and get astern talking to but don’t ever EVER push them in the back. Thats a 20 metre penalty or something.
Or if you have the ball and don’t pass to one of your teammates and then get head butted by the opponent player, it’s a penalty against you.
Australians are nuts.
The guy on the end of that hit is Jordan Lewis and played for my team, Hawthorn.The name is ironic isn’t it?? There are no rules? It just “Rules”!!
Used to enjoy watching that nonsense game. Basketball, football, rugby combined with set of extra goal posts than in any other sport.
The only way it could be improved was of 20 kangaroos were released into the pitch each game to fight people and steal the ball.
How drunk were the people who invented that game!!
At the time that was considered a fair bump/contest. Would result in a suspension these days though as concussion has become a major concern.
Funny thing about sporting allegiances - while Tottenham have brought me nothing but pain and despair, Hawthorn are the most successful Aussie Rules side in the modern era and won the premiership three times in a row from 2013-15.
Don't believe this filth. Carlton are utter scum - a mixture of Chelski and Scum with a dollop of Oil Slavers mixed in. Done for cheating in the 80's and early noughties.
They've also been complete rubbish for 30 years. Long may it continue!
So do ref/VAR mistakes etc etc. Sometimes it goes your way, others it don't. Pretty much evens itself out over a season so not a valid excuse, especially when our injuries - and other ills - are very much self-inflicted.
We're 15th and struggled in matches vs Tamworth, Coventry, Qarabag, Ferencvaros, AZ...got bummed by Chavs, Gooners, Barcodes, Palace, FUCKING IPSWICH...cause we got a shit chairman, a well below par manager and a bang meh squad. That's got much more of an impact.
That’s what we say about aerial ping pongCan recommend!
