I never said you shouldn't eat sweet things - just no processed / refined crap. You need to distinguish between goo and bad carbs though

I like to have a kebab and a couple of pints after a game, is that on the list as well?
Obviously you don't want to consume the processing equivalent of street cocaine but athletes will still drink things like coke for the relatively instant sugar-hit. You can't be drinking it everyday of the week though. Only when high GI is required (after training maybe and during and after matches). But yes i guess youree right in that case, minimal bad carbs would be generally preferred.
N'Koudou probably
And take your clothes off?
Did anyone else think the ref was completely shit?
There was one incident in the 60th minute when Eriksen was fouled just outside the box, He blew his whistle stopped an pointed to the spot where the incident took place.
Lamela and Eriksen thought they had been given a free kick. Yet CSKA players just ran off with the ball, and he followed them. It was about a second before Eriksen and Lamlea both realised what had happened. They nearly scored.
There were other baffling decisions to numerous to go into. But this perplexes me.
I have sat here and watched it about 5-10 times and still can't work out what the cunt was doing.
1. He blew up, pointed to where the foul had taken place.
2. You'd assume that meant he was giving us a free kick or he'd point the other way.
3. If he gave them a free kick why did he allow them to carry on. The ball was still in play. It wasn't motionless.
4. If he didn't give a free kick and played advantage for them, why did he blow his whistle and point? He never waved play on.
It was as if because they just ignored him he decided to turn around and make out he didn't say anything, and jogged on behind them.

Someone mentioned it before but Toby's hockey assist to Lamela for Son's goal was a peach. It's not the first time either as he does it several times a game, usually a long diagonal that falls perfectly into a teammate's lap. Given his knack for scoring headers as well Toby would be an amazing player even if he was just mediocre at defending, which we know is not the case. If anyone is next to book their ticket on the Tottenham-Real Express I think it would be him. He just oozes class.
Agreed, the ref was horrendous. Top, top (non)call from the linesman though so on the weight of it can't be too upset I guess.

I am happy he made the difference, exceeded my expectations greatly, and I stand corrected. He could prove to be our best buy during the summer, adds a bit of pace and directness to our team.
Never mind all that, just have a pint and a big, fuck off pie. That'll sort you out.
That guy in the bottom left is cheating, he's wearing a red and blue scarf and a woolly jumper...checks the close-up....Oh...
I can just imagine a Spurs fan snagging a ticket in the away section hoping to go undetected. Looking around...'well shit I guess I'm taking my shirt off now.'
I assume CSKA don't have much of a female following...That guy in the bottom left is cheating, he's wearing a red and blue scarf and a woolly jumper...checks the close-up....Oh...
The ref gave us fuck all the whole game - I lost count of the amount of tug backs, shirt pulling, late tackles and general grappling that went unpunished. The major surprise for me was that he didn't give an offside decision on Son's goal, he clearly wanted the Russians to pick up a result.
Who (rather conveniently) instantly turned into 2 ex-England managers & ex-England International Jermaine Jenas immediately after the game, so they could spend the whole post-match analysis talking about fucking Sam Allardyce rather than Spurs!!
(Not that they were talking about actually fucking Sam Allardyce... perish the thought... He kinda fucked himself!) But you know what I mean!
Barry Glendenning on Football Weekly heaping praise upon N'Koudou, saying that he changed the game when he came on and assisted Son's goal.
Useless twat.

Anyone notice more pushing it to Jansen with his back to the goal then trying to lay off to the midfilders? Very Andy Carroll-ish.
Not seen this tactic much from the Spurs
