I see you are still smoking the same shit you were doing during the game because that is the weirdest take I ever seen on a game - put the joint down wait for your imaginary Swiss mate to disappear and rewatch the game

I don’t like the sound of the 3G pitch listening to Andy Townsend!
Last time we won a european trophy, Liverpool were league champions.
Don't get me wrong, I have no beef with the stadium being used for extracurricular activities, in fact I welcome them as it's crazy to only use it for 20ish games a season, as long as the monies raised are ploughed into the football club. It was just lovely to be in the stadium with a fantastic atmosphere for the football, which has been missing in the league.
And our manager left at the end of the season, as some brave journo pointed out to Ange at the presser, much to his annoyance!Last time we won a european trophy, Liverpool were league champions.
This is the kind of 'history repeating itself' I can get on board with.And our manager left at the end of the season, as some brave journo pointed out to Ange at the presser, much to his annoyance!

A. Kinský
Sergio Reguilón
A. Gray
R. Drăgușin
Pedro Porro
J. Maddison
Y. Bissouma
P. Sarr
M. Moore

Agree, but United are also a weird club,so even if Fernandes, who I cannot abide is out for whatever reason, they somehow find a way.
It's just freakish and in the same banner of illogical that sees us nearly always falling short.
No sense or reasoning to it whatsoever.
Still more than enough to despatch non-league Tamworth, especially with that midfield.
It’s who scores first in Norway that I feel will be critical. If they score first I worry we’ll shit the bed!
Sadly it's only like this on rare occasions....... Before we moved back in all the talk was of a Dortmund-like atmos; but evidently the depleting fan culture/atmos in England won't propel that. For the most part I blame the trickle-down effect of ticket pricing, but in other ways both club and fans could still do more to promote a more interactive and partisan experience from week to week.
So I think who scores first will be important but I also think we are somply better than they are, with the astro turf only levelling it up a little bit.
We might lose our heads a touch but I think it's nigh on impossible they stop us from scoring.
If we keep it tight for 20 minutes,, the pressure is all on them.
If it's level (God forbid) on 80 minutes, we go out,as their support will suck the ball into our net.
I sense we will be okay,but I also think every week I wil win the lottery, so big doses of lo salt on that.

I blame:
- prices of tickets
- regs about stadium design including seating
- bag searches / hi-viz marshalls /CCTV / digital everything / surveillance culture
etc etc.
- PL tourism
English stadiums have actually become quite crap for atmosphere
Agree the club do a lot more tbh.
The more of this the better, the sort of team we are we need all the motivation we can get, and this will serve to do it
The Bodo players weigh in on our press (they thought that we were ass at it).
It's important not to appeal for things we don't deserve. I was half hoping that Dom would remember his inner Corinthian Casual and blast the penalty wide.
Which implies it's not an entirely Spurs specific problem.
Yet per your list above; fans themselves play no part?
Nah sorry.....
True.
They haven't beaten us since 2022 mind...
And there you go.
Better than Lazio? I recommend this vlog: [

The end of the clip gives a glimpse of just how insanely many chances were created specifically against Lazio. And how it seemed absurd that they didn’t score at least twice as many.
Point being: Tottenham is clearly better player for player. But that’s not necessarily the most decisive factor. Especially not when the yellow ones get to field their best midfield — the heart of the team.
