Match Scum (A) 24/09- 2PM - SUPER ANGE 🥰

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports


I can see the argument but my gut still says it's a yellow. Certainly not the 'done' thing to go in on a GK like that regardless, so even though they're usually a protected class it's just our fucking luck that the one time a referee doesn't go harsher with the punishment it's against us.

Aside from the fact a draw was a decent result for this fixture, I'm just thanking our lucky stars that neither Vicario (from that challenge) nor Maddison (from his knee going the wrong way) picked up injuries. We'd really be in the shit without them. Fingers crossed that Johnson's hamstring isn't too bad.
 
My missus has already told me not to come home after the match if we lose.
Told her I wasn’t planning on coming home if we win
either.

Am home. The draw wasn’t covered.
Amateur error.
Fucking wrecked and buzzing. We turned up.
Lot of pissed off gooners at pub. They “knew” they’d win. Sweet, sweet day.
 
I think today's game showed that the central midfield position is Bentancurs to take with both hands when he's fit.

I love Sarr and the potential he has but Bentancur was made for this system.


Where would he play? I think he would be best in the Bissouma position but Bissouma is doing so well I wouldn’t drop him. Can Bentancur play as one of the 8?
 
He didn't miss it. He gave the guy a yellow. The pundits on my stream agreed with me that was what it was worth.
I would not mind having him again for the home fixture.
Just as well for le arse, it was more red than yellow but not enough for VAR to intervene using the 'clear and obvious error' benchmark, if they had asked the ref to look at the monitor I think Nketiah would have been on his way.

I prefer to accept your opinion rather than the pundits, who, btw also thought the penalty should not have been awarded.......enter the monitor.

Clear red anywhere else on the pitch.
 
Just a couple of observations from me.

1. I didn't feel Woolwich had anything really. All the fawning guff over them in the first half was down to us. Action area was our end cos we were playing it about there. Yes the press caught us a couple of times but not once did I feel we were gonna be carved open. VDV was, and I don't use this word lightly, orgasmic.

2. The Udogie v Saka battle was tipped in Saka's favour by the yellow card but I don't think Saka really trouble Udogie. Saka couldn't out pace him. Udogie was showing him down the line and looked like he was strolling to keep with him.

3. I really don't get the Saka celebration. Firstly, don't give it the big one after a deflected goal and a pen. And if it is banter with a mate I'd tell him to fuck off if I was his mate. Deluded, false hype-believing prick.

On paper, I like the idea of a ref being able to go over and see an incident on the monitor again in case he missed a decision. The problem is that the implication from the VAR team is always 'we're sending you to take a look because you should give it'.

Feels like a lot of passing the buck to me.
 
Shocking arrogance from gooners this week. Acting like today was going to be a walk in the park.

Cunts. That'll learn 'em.

:ange-bored2:
I knew that this wasn’t the week where Angeball would come unstuck. I was nervous as hell because of the poor history we have at the library,, but had a good vibe about where we are now.
Gooners were put well in their place and the pub was all spurs after final score.
Great day, great performance compared to recent years. We turned up and gave them murders.
 
I’m shattered after that! VDV unbelievably good today. He’s a monster. If we had a bit more belief late on we could’ve put them under more pressure and beat them. Sonny finishes both class and unlucky not to score a hatrick. Deki very good today. Biss horrid first half but excellent second half. Madders is the key to us though as when he went off the whole creative side of our game goes. I really hope we get Veliz on the pitch at some point because if sonny goes off we need a centre forward who can make us a threat.
All in all it was decent but I feel that’s a chance missed as they think they played well but we’ve got so much more in the locker.
6 more days to the next game just seems too far away.
It’s not just the creativity but he presses and likes get things moving quicker. Too many of the others slow it down or hold on to ball too long. I’d like to see them up the tempo and zip the ball around quicker. We’d destroy teams!
