I was wrong about certain aspects. Im glad I was wrong.

Beating City and Palace by playing very good football does not make the poor games (Sunderland, Leicester) any better than they were though (performance wise)

I am happy I was wrong that there is hope for Lamela. I have no problem being wrong, if by being wrong, Spurs benefit.

The stats say City were better, The stats lied. You think we were better despite the stats this time though. Your method of rating games is 1000% biased, so as people have been saying, next time, let your eyes do the work, whether we play well or not eh.
:pochfacepalm:

"The stats"? There're some monolithic definitive stats?

You cited some statistics. You also managed to call them charts. I cited different ones, and explained what I thought.

Stats don't lie. You do. Now, fuck off. You're interfering with my enjoyment of a coffee and a second viewing of the match.

Thanks Comrade Frank , but he has no swagger or elegance , all the charm of a
red Robbo trade union activist from the mid 70's.
Show me the next Che , Pancho Villa , E Zapata then we march together .
As the great Gill Scott Heron said
" The revolution will not be televised " or a bunch of crumpet merchants said " Nice one Cyrill "
heheh
He is also a hypocrite, being just as autocratic as the person & organisation he purports to hate...bumped me off the blog, after 4k or more posts for replying "yawn, repetition" to a post.
 
Thats nice for them. I dont watch us play like shit and lose to Woolwich then say "oh well move on, we will spank City in two days anyway"

But well done to all those who foresaw Saturdays performance. Im proud of you.

Then mainly Pochettino. His only mistake this week, it turns out, was over compensating for yesterday.....he could have left some Gas in the tank.

We can play a lot better still as well, some of our passing in the first half was loose and we showed them a bit too much respect at times. If teams come out to play us and everything clicks we will really thrash someone.
 
Hardly any of the media mentioning our win yesterday. It's all about how poor city were and our offsides...fucking joke our football media is in this country...poor on every level.
No mentioning that city should of been down to 10 men. If we had scraped a lucky 1-0 win I could probably understand but it was a fucking mauling.
I know every supporter probably feels like this of their club but there is such a media bias to 5 clubs in this country.
Good enough for these bias cunts in the new stadium.

Yep. Depends where we finish though. If we can break top four with this team then players get the dream of playing CL football in a very young team & at a club that is moving into a magnificent new stadium, with some of the best training facilities in world football. Apart from the money grabbers who want "treble your salary" agreements, what's not to like about being part of something very special & part of a legacy? It seems Poch has got them all in the "team first" mindset. Let's hope they push on now & build bonds on & off the pitch that make it hard for them to even think of moving away from their Spurs family. This team has shown what it can do. Keeping it together & improving its consistency means we can be a real force in the league & hopefully Europe.

There's no chance Alli or Dier would leave now. But the rumours will still be flogged around like the one and only truth.

As you say, they've made it into Pochettino's plans for a reason. Doesn't stop the entitled supporters of richer clubs and the media cunts though.
 
Absolutely awesome, I was sat in a near empty pub for this and was screaming the place down. Ok, two of our goals were offside but their only goal was also, plus we had a goal bound shot knocked in and deemed correctly offside and Kanes little flash of greediness not laying up Lamella. So we put 5!! (3 OS) should have been 6 past the strongest team in the league so far this year. If we play like that against the teams we expect to beat we'll be laughing. IS Poch's plan finally starting to show, or was it just one of those days when everything just clicked? The thought of the former makes me jumpy with excitement.:allitongue::bentaleblol::bentalebscream::pochsmirk:
 
Love this part....

Aguero was unable to make his mark on the game, completing only 16 passes before being substituted once Manchester City were 4-1 down. That figure was the lowest of any outfield player who started the game, and lower even than the 18 passes completed by Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris.

Aguero did have five shots during the game, but four of them were blocked by a Spurs defence who largely had him where they wanted him. The one shot that did get through forced a save out of Lloris.

Aguero has had his way with us. Think he scored in the last 5 games we played City.

We shut him down. He had no mark on the game.

Quite nice after him scoring 5 times against us last season that we've worked him out. Just got to do the same at their place where we've been shafted by 6 and 4 the last two seasons with him in the middle of it all.
 
What a brilliant game and performance yesterday. So glad for Kane and Lamela.
Njie looking like a good signing too.

A wedding on a Saturday afternoon....how very, very odd.
Or is it because I didnt announce it in Random with a thread titled: Wedding! Need Help! Navy or Grey suit!

:avbshit:
A Yid Wedding! :nawty:
 
First time posting since the game. I'd just like to say how awesome it was to see our defense like a wall against such a potent offense (minus one brain fart from Walker). I have the world's biggest boner for Dier right now.
