Spurs thread 2019/20

Has anyone ever seen Tottenham win the league?

I have but I was two years old and don’t remember it, JFK was alive though but I doubt he gave a fuck, had other things on his mind.

There's going to be trouble in the cheese room between the Spurs players, I don't think Poch gives a edam ;-)

Eight years before man walked on the moon
Five years before West Ham won the World Cup
And the year before Daniel Levy was born

No! No! No! You’ve got it all wrong! @JimB, @JPBB, @SpursLoyal et al will tell you that Spurs are a better side with the greedy fucker in the team.

I've no problem admitting that Kane is currently a shadow of his former self. But then, the team is currently a shadow of its former self too. Which obviously doesn't help.

The concern for me is that the succession of ankle injuries he has suffered over the past two seasons has taken a yard of pace and sharpness off him. He was never the quickest, certainly, but he was quicker than many realised. Enough to get past and away from defenders often enough, to add to his other qualities. He's still a brilliant finisher and passer when he gets the space but he has become a lot easier to mark since the injuries. For Spurs' and England's sake, I hope he can recover his former fitness and form.

Never a pen for Spurs today.

The Newcastle lad never changed his trajectory of run and fell down in a straight line from where he was running and Kane decided to move across him while he was falling to make it look like he’d been taken out.

Kane could have carried on running in his straight line and got the ball if he’d wanted to.

"Fell down".

Arf!

He deliberately dived to stop Kane getting to the ball. No question about it. Did Kane do his bit to make the foul even more of a foul? Certainly. But it was a foul nevertheless. The first contact was before Kane shifted his direction. Even if Kane had stayed on his feet, Lascelles' deliberate intervention with no attempt to play the ball would have reduced the goalscoring opportunity. So a definite pen and, given the cynical nature of the foul, possibly a red card.

Not going to complain about Dean or VAR, though. We got away with one last week (Lamela / Rodri). Besides, our attacking play was so one paced, brainless and predictable with 80% possession that we barely deserved a point.

Glad I don't converse with other teams fans, my phone would run out of charge & I'd be on at least a warning from that pile of shit above.

Did I hear wrong ?
We're the Spuds singing
You manc bastard we fukin love VAR...just before kickoff ?

They are really poor. 9th in the league table, starting from January this year. Kane is on the decline and Poch has lost interest, not a good time to be a spurs fan.

If he shuts his mouth whilst running he may reduce the effects of drag and he’d find that extra yard of pace.

It was about time that Spurs players start to fuck Levy up for years of penny pinching. He's gonna lose half of that team on free transfers.
