One of the most pleasing aspects of today's game was that we actually seemed to be more passionate and up for the fight than in years gone by. How many times in the past have we just rolled over and looked like fucking rabbits in headlights. Not today. Not Pochettino 's Spurs. Today we looked and played like a team on a mission. A mission to finally start reclaiming our rightful place as North Londons Biggest and best.
10+15=25 mins a third of the game. We out played them and were the better team . However a draw was fair at the end.They missed some good chances , goals is what its all about.
These days , goals from the attacking wingers should be the priority vs defense. Let Dier and the the BL worry about the defense. But in today's game with spurs up 1-0, that Son for Lamela swap was a poor choice. Defense should've been the priority.

This team is love. Just that. We make them look like shite for 75 minutes. Brilliant.
Absolutely gutted that we didn't come away with 3 points today as I think that they were thoroughly deserved, however you cannot knock the performance. As a team we can beat anybody, we were brilliant today, perhaps a little more composure in front of goal and without Cech playing a worldie it would've been more. The future's lilywhite! This may not be the most talented squad we've had in recent years, but it damn-well is up for the fight, and seems to buy into the manager's ethos, only as strong as the sum of your parts 'n all that, and right now we're a well oiled machine.
This might have been mentioned before, but writing about Sanchez being a cunt in another thread reminded me. How weird was watching that remembrance minute before kickoff and realizing, that woolwich didn't line up with a single Brit. Even those soulless nomads must have felt strange looking at that.
This has probably already been posted but LOL
The weird rationalisation their fandom has been doing this evening is impressive.
That whole 'Spurs couldn't beat us playing their best, when we were at our worst!' is probably the most pervasive one...
You know, because no football team has been made to look poor in a match by the opposition's defending and pressing. No sir. Nuh-uh.
Not to mention that it wasn't the best we've played: good, but not necessarily the best.
Oh well, the little twerps are victims of the Sky narrative anyway - the one where it's incredibly important to keep mentioning that Woolwich played midweek. We had one day less rest, but never let the truth get in the way.
Side note: yes, the talk of a title challenge on here (and anywhere else on Spurs social media) is silly, but that is the mentality I want the squad to have.
If they aim towards the top, and actually get anywhere close, then even failing to do so will likely mean a top four finish. Limiting yourself to 4th place seems like losing half the mental battle already. By doing that, falling just short and finishing 5th becomes more acceptable. If we want a winner's mentality, just like shaking off the habit of shitting ourselves against the big teams, then we have to change that.
Oh, and maybe there's a quote in there somewhere that might just be appropriate for Spurs in particular... Couldn't possibly comment.
Wait until tomorrow, and SpursTV should have them uploaded.
Though if you want some post-match punditry like Match of the Day, then I suggest you look up a stream for this evening's MotD2...
I think today was a reality check to most Gooners that we aren't fucking around anymore and we're up for any fight and can back it up.
