Sorry, missed your post. Was having gammon for lunch.
I don't need faceless avatars to tell me I'm butters. I look in the mirror every day.
Interesting it's always those so desperate to keep their anonymity that resort to it though.
Projection?
A decent performance would be nice. We put in one against Liverpool at Anfield and nearly got a win but somehow still left with no points.
That said, I think City are due to thump us, but then again I thought we were due against Liverpool.
So a dodgy 1-1 draw incoming with a 90'+6' winner from Sterling ruled off by VAR.
Do we think Jose sticks with Sanchez and

As many have said good to get the 3 points , done decent poccession and created a few chances. However we need to take into account wba basically have us the ball so it was a question of us being able to do something. I’m in the jose our camp but we all want spurs to win every game so let’s take the win and move on but with caveat that it’s only WB who are crap. We still sat off for the last 20 and allowed them to put a few balls in the box which led to goals which were just offside. So not ideal. Also I noticed our passing went to pot towards the end when for the most part we were passing crisply and quickly. Not sure what happened there but it coincided with lamela going off. On to the players I think we need to start being more consistent in the tram selection and formation. The chopping and changing especially at the back can’t be helping. So I’d say go with Toby and Dav, FBs serge and reg when fit. CM as per today and Harry and son up front. So most of the team would be stable. For now stick with lamela and Lucas along side son. Let them build some consistency, movement and understanding. Berg was useless when he came on. If the players drop of them starting swapping in alternatives which will be improved when gio and dele are back. The players need to know any slacking and drop in levels then there is someone who will come in and take their place. We know lamela can’t maintain fitness or performance levels so get as many good games out of him as possible. Main thing is to play on the front foot and press which Érik and Lucas help with.
If you saw this block of writing, would you read it?
Paragraphs are so key.

Win a game easily, play some decent stuff for the first time in a while, and the match thread still turns into a car crash

I vote for a really big one. Didn’t realise the metaphor had moved on from busses.
Park that bleedin’ tram good and proper I say.

Probably a great time to play them. The Antithesis of Dr Tottenham and Spursy.

It’s a bus on rails. More static and predictable.
Perfect for our recent outings.
Perhaps most importantly can anyone tell me whether parking the bus/tram is a metaphor as I previously suggested, or is it actually an analogy?
It was a typo. Should be ‘team’.
but if you mean more generally. Neither, It’s a joke. Someone suggested a manager was going to park the team bus in front of goal, no analogy, just jibing.

I do enjoy catching up of these match day threads.
Can’t help but agree with this. Massive underdogs but Jose can still pull the odd rabbit from the hat.
Couldn’t agree more. What’s gone on in this thread is simply weird
