Spurs (H) Pre Match Thread

I think what annoys people is when pundits in the media come out with statements like, you were the better team.
when clearly you were not. That is immaterial you are through and are deserving of that, irrespective who were the "better" side.

We weren't the better team. Agreed. We did just enough with the help of VAR to get over the line.

It's done now, we have to move on. I think it'll be interesting to see what sides both teams put out.
I think yours could be vastly changed compared to ours. We NEED to win, you could do with a win.

The only reason there was a 'wankfest' is because we were massive underdogs over two legs. It would have been the same whoever your opponents were.

Genuine question, is it just that you've bought into this media narrative that you were the 'massive underdogs' or is that the way you actually feel? The last time I looked you were the 3rd best team in (purportedly) the best and most competitive league in the world.

If he was half as bad as you are portraying and simply wanting to coast, he wouldn't be a) playing for us and b) selected to play - either you are over-egging your perception because you dont like him, or the club, having scouted him for some time, believe in him. Wonder who is right?

Erm, I don’t know if you have noticed but he is rarely selected and well down the pecking order. As with Gundogan he slows the game down. He is a one trick pony and rarely tracks back when he looses the ball. Never seems to break out in sweat or has a hair out of place. Says it all really.

They were according to the bookies. It isn't the shock that some would have you believe.
Not even the fortune is a shock, for us City fans.

You must be halfpist, halfmist. Gundogan has been playing well lately ;-)

It’s about TODAY!!! Not Wednesday! With regard to the other day, you weren’t MASSIVE underdogs, you brought a 1 goal lead to us and we royally fücked it up with the help of VAR.
Even your own player ADMITS it was handball, but no one would ever confess at the time would they, can’t blame him, I blame the idiots that control the images for the ref to see.
A win for us today will go a little way to easing the pain of fücking it up in CL again.

I think you need to look a little broader than just VAR if you think that is why we were knocked out.

If you read what I actually said, ....he slows the game down, I have said nothing about how he is playing, well or otherwise.

Plus never tracking back. Never breaking sweat intimates that he's doing fuck all.
I'd say that was quite a criticism. How you get a hair out of place, when it's that short. I don't know ;-)

We genuinely believe it. Particularly over the two legs. Look at your side and compare it to ours.

How many of our players would get in your team? None? One?
