Welcome vict... Err mate.Great game! Im super new to football, this is my first post ever here. I live in the states… Dunno why I picked the spurs but here I am lol everyone over this way seems to like Woolwich or manchester united so I guess I like to go against the grain. Been lurking here about a month or so, Love reading all the insight here and getting up to speed on the game so thanks everyone.
I got to follow the first 2 games and have liked what I’ve seen thus far this season , hopefully a reflection of the new coach. In my extremely novice opinion it Seems like we have controlled possession quite well both games and could very easily be 2-0! Hope it keeps up and hope i can bring some luck to the spurs moving forth
:hugoshock:
I was mulling on the new dawn vibe too. I thought that it was the happiest and most hopeful it’s felt at the new ground. There was a bit of a lift when we moved in from the Wembley toxicity but Poch’s team was on a downward trajectory that pretty quickly blew up. Then divisive managers plus covid haven’t really helped bring the love. Ange’s appointment feels like a proper new start and a chance to really make it home. It was the most positive I’ve felt the crowd, pretty good on the singing front and no hate. Long may it last - tho obv need to bring the hate for a few games depending on who we’re playing!I'm not gonna bang on about it too much, cos there's another game in a few days, and we all know it could go tits up at ANY moment with us...
But I have to say, Saturday's game had a real Poch pomp feel about it.... It had shades of the last game at WHL against them.... It had the feelgood factor slapped all over it....
We (the team AND the fans) were immense....
It had all the hallmarks of a New Dawn.... but we all know - as rational, and battle hardened Spurs fans - not to expect too much too soon...
But the shoots of recovery are clearly there for all to see!
Interesting sidenote: How did we go from one of the oldest teams in the PL, to one of the youngest in the space of ONE SUMMER?
Always an element of luck to any match. Will always be moments where you need the rub.
That swings both ways though mate. Yes they could have got a goal or two, but we could have too. Scoring opportunities went both ways that first half.
wasnt it only the bruno chance that they should have scored? rashford was offside wasnt he?
I would say it's more down to a massive Vicario performance than luck.
Nothing to do with luck. Vicario made two saves. One from rashford when he stayed big and a header in the second half. The rest they missed the target or were offside. If our keeper only has two real saves to make every game then we will have an incredible season.
