Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Proper fuck off football....
They've seriously ripped ANY element of joy out of this game.. they've raped the shit out of it.... and it seems like they even got it wrong... which, for all the wanking over VAR, if they get the decision right, fair enough... but this looks and feels WRONG...
which makes you wonder who is paying for these decisions to be made?

Fuck this shit....
Fuck VAR, FUCK FOOTBALL...

where the fuck was VAR when Mendes scored at Old Trafford? Fucking nowhere... They only invented it when one of the big boys complained loudly enough.

We'll never win ANYTHING again with this system in place... Cos it WASN'T DESIGNED to benefit the likes of Spurs....

So we're fucked either way.

A little bit more of football died tonight...

*I feel it will become a twitching corpse the week before Christmas in Qatar, where any beer drinking homosexuals daring to venture over to the world cup will no doubt be stoned to death by the locals.... But fuck it.... Give them the winter world cup.... Fucking see how it turns out!

Fucking hell I'm pissed off with this shit.

1st half we brought on ourselves, 2nd half was all on fucking VAR...


* And yes, I know one thing has NOTHING to do with the other... but fuck it.

VAR.... MONEY.... QATAR... it's all fucking money motivated innit?
 
Wow. What a farce.

In truth while we upped the intensity we were still pretty poor second half and only looked a threat from set pieces.

if 50p head Dier gets one on target we win but I wouldn't say we deserved it. Draw was fair.

Son gash again and Kane a complete ghost in the second half until his disallowed goal.

Shout out Bentancur. That come back was all him.

Oh well time to move on. Top of the group and just avoid defeat in Marseille to go through. These players don't deserve a game off. Go there, put in a good shift for a change and go through in style.
Dier’s miss any worse than the two they had. I kinda think it would be a travesty if we won that match. Offered damn all in the first half, not much more in the second other than huff and puff. Let’s just push high up the park and swing in hopeful crosses. Not once did we open up their defence and the keepers good saves cam mainly from corners. Mind you Lloris had a few as well.
 
We are definitely a lot better than Marseille

We didn't look a lot better than Marseille when we played them at home. In fact, it was a very even game until the red card.

And we're meant to be a 'lot better' than Frankfurt & Sporting. Hasn't really gone that way, in fact it's been a very evenly matched group made up of four teams who look like they're on a very similar level to each other.
 
The positives: Bentancur is genuinely good; Carrick-like? And Gil was excellent when he came on. Shows there might actually be options in the squad and we dont need to put up with the dross we’re being served. Spence and Gil worth a punt down the right?

Apart from that, it was pretty shit. Even when we were pressuring them at the end it wasnt cultured proper football it was hectic desperation. Which is obviously better than first half nothingness.
 
Hopefully Conte uses this injustice to get the siege mentality going. Take it out on Bournemouth, go get a result against Marseille and carry that momentum into the game v Liverpool. Still all to play for and if the players aren't fired up after that, we might as well all stay in bed.
