NLD home for the 'overall package' of what constitutes a great game....
The intense build up (all week) the steely determined walk up the High Road...
The arrival of THAT lot...
The songs, the Atmos, the flares, the TIFO...
...and then the game itself:
90 minutes of pure, unadulterated hatred, channelled the right way with no glaring errors (from us, anyway) glorious football, a crackling atmosphere for 90+ minutes.
A complete footballing anhilation from start to finish... and total deconstruction of their club from top to bottom!
What's not to like?
Plus I was there... Which helped!
Leiectser away was, as a few have pointed out, 'only' memorable for ONE MAD MINUTE... the 93 that went before were a bit mixed!
Man City away was EXACTLY what we should aspire to do year in, year out... and for it to be worth something, can't just feel like a 'one off'.
The fact we seem to be their bogey team can only be a good thing in the next few years.... Yes, they'll beat us 'eventually' ...but we're already in their heads.... Which is the first part of the battle won!
I actually loved Everton & Newcastle at home... Not just the goals, but the 'we can DO this' feeling of sweeping all before us was still there... Before the Brighton/Brentford wobble... Thankfully, we steadied the ship in time.
Fave NON Spurs game this season... Newcastle v AFTV™ ...Just cos we KNEW it was on!
