Don't really get all the negativity sure we weren't that good but we weren't that bad either. Sunderland set up very well and probably played their best game of the season, we defended well as we have all season (Leicester goal aside) the chances Sunderland did create were through their own excellent play rather than our own failings. We stuck at it and raised the tempo when we needed to in the last 15 and created chances.
We were giving away a goal a game last season this season we look assured.
Thought today showed a good mentality from our young side.

I'll start a thread in the off topic section, Ban SpammySpurs.
You forgot the most important thing "philosophy".
I've been as guilty as anyone this week by trying to debate with him , being relatively new here I didn't know the score , having exchanged a few post with him it's clear he has no interest in anything other than getting a rise out of anybody he can and the fact is you can't win against him , making him his own thread will only encourage him because you'll be doing what he wants and making it all about him , he already dominates this forum by becoming the focal point in over 50% of threads and probably considers himself a huge success and I'd have to agree he's succeeding in his agenda. If everyone ignored him he'd soon ban himself like a fire starved of oxygen. Even as I write this I know full well Sammy will still be here in two years doing his thing because people have a misplaced moral obligation to try and beat the bad guy even though that is impossible because he only wants reaction.
True, you make a good point. But fuck it, you don't know unless you try.
Agree. Looked like a different player from last season. Partly though it just helped stretch the game. It makes me wonder (and worry) about Poch's no winger policy. Having said that, we probably would have had had more width had Rose played. And the goal did come through the middle.
I imagine Townsend will be a sub rather than first choice. But if he plays like that he could be invaluable (as sub) in games when the other side is playing for a 0-0.
He has a few times before had a meltdown and left for a few months, from memory it's usually when the team is winning games......of course the team always fucks up eventually and then he's back again.
I missed the first half due to being "tired" from the night before.From what I did see I thought we were pretty poor until Andros came on.Well taken and worked goal though.
Its a win. Onwards and upwards

People complaining after we've won.
"Yeah but the performance wasn't very good"
No team plays like 50's Brazil for 50+ games a season. We are going to have to grind out some results.
But no no, lets call for the manager and the chairman's heads to roll.
After a win.
3 points.
Away.
In the toughest division in the world.
And another clean sheet.
Don't fucking quote me with your nonsense either, I've already read it on previous pages.

what was lucky about our goal - exactly?Going to have to try that sometime
I think a lot of the negativity is the worry about the upcoming games which will come fast now with Europa starting.
We haven't started well at all and got a lucky win against a very poor Sunderland with a pretty poor team performance.
The injuries are racking up as well.
As you say tho. Some good individual permformances. If it starts to click I think we can be really good.
Heres hoping the Europa can build some confidence.
Or are you saying that we were lucky because they had two near misses?
Are they even more lucky to have escaped a blatant penalty, or Kanes complete miss when presented with an open goal?
Seems to me that we were the only team to score (and it was a thing of beauty)
and the only thing we did badly was not to thump them by a handsome margin, because they had the unmitigated gall to start playing like a premiership football team.
Ignorant peasants, don't they know they are supposed to roll on their backs and die?
I happen to think any three points away in the league is a good result and performance, any which way you come about it.
But claiming Sunderland played their best game of the season is a problem. All teams in this league have great players. When a team looks crap, then they're obviously not a crap team. The opposing team has made them look crap by being better organised, getting to 50-50 balls faster, outrunning, outpassing them and whatever else you like. If Sunderland looked good, it was because we weren't making life difficult enough for them.
I fell asleep at halftime, woke up to pee and saw 1 nil and thought Spurs lost.
If people dont like being told so, then they should stop telling me we are a good side who play good football
And Im asking you one.
Why dont you think whatever the fuck you want?
And I´ll do the same
can anyone translate that?
I recognise all the words individually, but not when combined in the sequence that you used them.
get off Sammy. See the writing on the wall and just fucking go.
Or crack on with supporting Spurs and show it - without being a class one tit
