I like to write about football, it can be a game of real beauty when played properly, but it can also be a brutal game when anti-football wins the day.
Spurs consider themselves one of the great historic clubs, yet played like a team coached by Big Sam, nothing wrong in that because it worked, yet Spurs traditionalists brought up on the great push and run double winning side of 1961 would surely have been appalled at the catenaccio on show today. Spurs morphed into the Inter side of 1964 when catenaccio was King. They were ugly, they defended deeper than Russian submarines and employed all the dark arts of which Conte is a master of. 7-0-3 worked for them though so they have to be applauded. They dragged us in and mugged us on the counter. They are not the first team to do that but there has to be factors in there favour for it to work.
We had an off day, we lost the control that makes us such a great team and in our desperation they took advantage. We also looked jaded, maybe the midweek in Lisbon took more out of us than we realise, we still had chances but our end product was poor, too many players had poor days and they had there best performance of the season. Defensively they were superb and our usual overloads were nullified.
Football is a strange game, its why many of us love it as results are never cut and dried, on any given day it is possible to lose. Yesterday Kane who barely touched it made his touches count, Son always turns up against up and because we are Champions teams always give a little extra against us.
We are still in the driving seat, hopefully yesterday was a bump in the road and we regroup and go again. Its our title to lose and as much as the media big up Kane, he will not be winning a PL title. We may not win the PL title of course and the home game against Liverpool is now looking like a decider.
I fucking hate Spurs, i have since 1981, the cunts.
