Not a comfortable watch, but we won, which is the whole point of playing a game.
Ref had a stinker, they conned him good and proper; everytime we went anywhere near them, they went down like a sack of spuds.
Onwards and upwards!
And I got a free programme, as some sap in the premium seats left his behind - RESULT

They are joint top with PSG so far this season, this is going to be a tough game and a tough group.
Zero surprise, they were holding up a "skinheads" banner, absolute shitstain fanbase, fucking hate these ultra types.
My kids still think football is free and they’re 37 and 40.
If we honestly have 20,000 seats free we should urgently be giving them to local schools, hospitals etc for students and staff. Try and create a buzz locally for the matches.
Why even bother posting this shit?

Tottenham took the post down and replaced it with the following tweet of Harry Kane instead
Fans took to social media to react to the post. One supporter joked someone was getting fired
The post came just days after Antonio Conte's Champions League record was called into question.
Conte has featured in the Champions League five times - having guided Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan through their respective European campaigns.
He failed to make it out of the group on three occasions and was eliminated from the competition in the knockout stages twice.
Another said the memes 'write themselves' for Tottenham after making this mistake before
A Tottenham agreed by saying Tottenham don't help themselves with their social media posts
One supporter said Tottenham should have kept the tweet up instead of deleting it
Those two instances included the time Chelsea reached the last 16 in 2017-2018 and the time Juventus reached the quarter-final in 2012-2013.
Conte will be eager to hit the ground running with Tottenham as he looks to end their quest for European glory.
Tottenham are set to visit Marseille for their Champions League clash on Wednesday evening.
Conte will be looking to maintain his unbeaten start to the 2022-2023 Premier League season by kicking off their Group D campaign with a win.
Excellent. Fucking hate that begging shit. Parents who allow it should be slappedRicharlison totally ignoring that annoying "give me your shirt" kid.
We cannot be arrogant and underestimate them like we did with Monaco in 2016 at Wembley.
This is a very difficult group.

They probably got lost and went to the 'Old' White Hart Lane..... oh wait..
