Anyone else notice the 'spin' from the different sets of commentators (both on stream and bbc) that Burnley was only our 5th away win of the season......and how bad that makes us?
Failing to mention that we'd only played 13 games prior to that (W4 / D6 / L3) having played away at Chelsea, Liverpool, City, United, Woolwich, Everton, West Brom, Southampton, etc, etc
They all seem incapable of putting the season or a teams form into any context at all.
Yup... I also noted some 'gem' that our away record has been "appaling" cos we'd only won two in the last couple of months.... 2W + 2D (Inc City)... Cunts!!!
.....thought last season was bad thanks to the Leicester bollox, but I've never known anything like this season. We're undeniably in the top two teams of the last 2 seasons yet huge sections of the media are prepared to state any old shite to avoid a genuine appraisal/kudos.... That twat Carragher last nite, the newly christened Top 6, endless stated abuse and crap like above...
on the subject of hull..what a fucking Job Silva is doing there,even if he cant leep them up, Sky should make all those cunts that slated his appointment publicly apologise. whilst taking it in turns to rim him. whilst he fucks their wives.
Chelsea have been lucky with injuries this season.
About time some one like Costa or Hazard did a knee or something....
Bro which pub did you got to ? I have been struggling to find pubs in north ldn showing the streamed games as alot seem to have stopped doing itI didn't go last night, but still one of my best moments of the season when Son scored. The pub I was in went up, beer everywhere, broken glass everywhere. Then I was left with that euphoric feeling in the stomach until I went to bed...woke up today, oh no got to go to work, but then remembered last night and in a good mood again.
They have a 3 London team max quota. We didn't make the cut I'm afraid.
Media conspiracy. Tin foil hat ON.
when you actually saw the possession and shots on goal figures, looks like we should have buried them well before the 88th minute.Doesn't matter, adds to the excitement I suppose, and I should imagine other teams and their supporters were just loving the fact we were losing. I love the fact that we have such a fight to the death attitude now. I love the players, I love our manager. It has been such a long wait to have a team that we can believe in again. Will go to sleep a very happy bunny tonight.
Had a chat with a guy at work today (he's Aussie, supports Cronulla Sharks in the Rugby, who basically did a 'Leicester' last season, look 'em up...)I just can't stop replaying that 3 goal blitz. Sometimes I focus on the players celebration. Sometimes the crowd. I'm finding it really difficult to wrench myself away and go to bed. Fuck it. One more beer. I feel so happy tonight. So fucking happy
Tottenham's comeback at Swansea was only the 20th time in Premier League history a side has won having trailed with five minutes to go.

We have now done it 4 times the most.
On Broadway in Winchmore Hill. Other good ones, in my experience, are Bird in Hand in PG and Lord Nelson in WG. But this was the first time I've been to a pub to watch a game this season so I might be a bit out the loop.Bro which pub did you got to ?

Absolutely, and given the nature of how we won - you can bet that we completely undermined the 'bounce back' of Woolwich's win over West Ham. Their players are mentally weak too, so I hope we soured their dressing room.Point is, we came to the conclusion that whilst a 'comfortable' and comprehensive 3-1 win, with our goals scored evenly throughout the course of the game would've been better for the heart-rate, the NATURE and timing of our win last night spoke VOLUMES about our team spirit, and was almost worth an EXTRA point in terms of what that late win can do for a team's' mentality...
WE HAVE ADOPTED A NEVER SAY DIE approach... and more importantly, OTHER teams know that we simply won't lie down.
That puts a seed of doubt into ALL our oponents, as well as give us the renewed confidence and TRUST in our players to get the job done... however late!
What I like is on several occasions now we've not only pushed and pushed for the equaliser but we've then gone on to get the winner, no matter how late on it is.Had a chat with a guy at work today (he's Aussie, supports Cronulla Sharks in the Rugby, who basically did a 'Leicester' last season, look 'em up...)
...anyway, he's typically MAD ABOUT SPORTS, but also about the 'psychology and mental attitude' that comes with winning games...

You can't 'teach' that feeling.... and you certainly can't buy it...
But nearly EVERY successful team in Sporting history has had it coursing through their veins.
Look at how many late LATE winning goals Man Utd (and the Arse...) in their pomp used to score.
We bemoaned it cos it wasn't US doing it... but we all knew they would NEVER give up.
Last night, and a few other times recently. .. that has become US!
...and I fucking love that about this team!
The Nelson was the only ones of those pubs that are near me. Gerties in east finchley shows some games but it's hit and missNelson has stopped showing them.Been caught too many times,next fine is 25 large..Ouch!
They did have a box that showed them legally,but it kept f**king up.
