Problem with our fan base is, they’d be up in arms if we signed those players. Many on here didn’t want Trossard.
The coaching is the problem. Newcastle, Brighton, Villa don’t have a better squad than us, they’re just coached better.
You're not wrong. Bryan Gil fits that mould and many fans were writing him off before he finally got given a slight chance and impressed.
Re: the subs...didn't you (and those around you ) think they should have been made loads earlier, given how our "plan" was clearly not working? I was howling on my family WhatsApp chat for changes to be made 15 minutes before, given how pedestrian we looked.
In fact, I'm almost wondering if we won regardless of those subs, it's not like we changed our shape or plan at al,l I I sort of think it's just that we got lucky.
Also, what was the feeling you got from those around you? Miserable grumpiness ( that was the go-to emotion whenever I was in the West Stand)? Anger???
Muat admit, I loved hearing the Pochettino, he's magic" song sung loud and proud
Just caught up on MoTD. Two really nice goals.
Clearly we were jammy and I can still see us wobbling over Bournemouth next time. However good 3 points and the Chelsea result made this feel particularly sweet today. For all our own collective hand-wringing, imagine having Chelsea´s approach to spending and recruitment, as opposed to ENIC, yet they’re still six places behind us.
It’s just very, very funny.

He forgot to mention they could use ALL Spurs games as evidence!
Thick cunt!
Hurts like fuck to say it, especially given how we used to wet ourselves laughing at him, but you have to give credit to Lego Boy.
It's incredible what he's done with a roughly similar squad to ours. The self-belief and mental strength he's instilled in them. We would give a kidney for that right now.
I feel violently ill having just typed that.
Heard a rumour he was to take over from Arteta
You probably did! Are we we cruising at the top of the table playing free-flowing football?

Exactly, he's the closest we have to a Mitoma but even he's a bit of a clunker. He does have some great dribbling but this season it ends in nothing.
I don't know if we're just used to subs being even later that the introduction of the subs was generally greeted with enthusiasm.Re: the subs...didn't you (and those around you ) think they should have been made loads earlier, given how our "plan" was clearly not working?

I'm in the East stand right next to the premium seats, so those to the right of me are usually tourists. The rest were more worried than moaning. A couple of guys behind me were very loud when singing 'Levy out'. I joined in when we started singing for Poch.
The general mood felt quite subdued rather than angry, turning to anxious as the game went on. If we had lost, and most people felt we were lucky to win, the mood might have turned nasty.
We've seen your Hojbjerg scores...we don't trust you with numbers prehaps?
Well our hands are tied aren't they, with Bissouma and Bentancur out?
Sure we could play a midfield two with either Sarr-Skipp or Sarr-Hoijbjerg, other than that we could play a midfield three with Skipp-Sarr-Hoijbjerg.
When our injured are back i would play a back-4 and a three man midfield with:
Bissouma-Skipp
Bentancur
It will be exact same line up again.
Gil never impressed. He set up one goal. He’s an empty crisp packet and should never ever be near our starting 11.
And if there were any doubt about who won the race, i guess they could use.....VAR
Fucking hell. Just watching it again on MOTD, how the fuck did Mitoma not get a pen when Hojbjerg stood on his foot.
Edit
And Dunk was pretty unlucky not to get one too.

Or perhaps the disagree function is being mis-used ?
It's not a NOT LIKE button. !!
Or are you now saying I'm a liar? I know how forums work and they don't have to stoop to the depths of this one.
