Adidas trefoil and California style would sell every shirt made tbh. I'd probably even try to get one myself. If it's real obviously.

Are Opta aware the training ground is basically the RVI atm?

There's plenty of things to have a pop at Spurs/Levy for but they raised a huge amount of money from shifting Berbatov, Modric and Bale. Sure it stung Spurs' fans at the time as much as us buying and subsequently selling Isak, Bruno and Gordon would for us. I don't know enough about their stadium finances and commercial stuff to get into in too deep but from a player trading pov they definitely bought and sold reasonably well

I think he falls into the same basket as Almiron. I appreciate the fact they work hard and are good lads but neither are even remotely good enough to be playing for a team that has ambitions of playing European football every year. I understand that we'll need a squad but offering nothing other than hard work just isn't good enough any longer. I don't hate them, I'll reserve hate for the likes of Owen, but they're just not good enough and need to be moved on asap. They're just largely ineffective bodies in the squad and not a million miles above Hendrick, Hayden, Fraser etc if I'm being brutally honest. Trying really hard just isn't enough, we've moved on

You ok mate?

I know what you mean but I only have that rage when it's an injustice, when we've been robbed or cheated out of a result. Like a bent ref or a bullshit offside or whatever. Tonight wasn't about any injustice at all, we simply didn't finish them off when we had the chances too and we ended up paying the price and throwing 2 points away because of some shit defending. We got exactly what we deserved, we had several chance and took only 1, they had a few chances and took a golden one handed on a plate

Thought the ref was fine tonight, kept it flowing, no major howlers etc. Isak was (just) offside and Dummett did drag Young down for the pen. We shot ourselves in the foot tonight, no use pointing the finger at the ref after that tbh

The worst thing is that I don't even think he's 'out of form' or 'lacking a bit of confidence' right now I just think this is his normal level of performance. What he's been producing for the last 4 months is what Sean Longstaff is capable of producing - this is him, this is his level of ability. I get that people want to maybe find excuses and explain his horrific performances but this is his normal average level, it's got nothing to do with form or confidence he's just desperately poor in many many areas and it's been highlighted. He needs a move a much a wee need to move him on. Lovely lad, works hard, absolutely fucking shit

Home grown or not he needs to be moved on this summer. All he's done tonight is directly cost his team 2 points and proved to Howe (and any other PL manager watching) that he can't be trusted any longer and he's finished as a PL player. Expensive night for him and the club tonight

Special mention for Dan Burn tonight btw, I thought he was brilliant tonight. He was honking for a few months and got pelters for it at the time but I thought he was exceptional tonight, can't remember a single mistake and got us off the hook a few times too. He was superb and it's right he gets a bit of praise

Highly frustrating that tonight, no real complaints at the result either. Missed several chances to kill it off and one piece of utter dogshit defending has cost us all 3 points. It was a definite pen, ref was pretty good actually and we've been done by Dummett's panic, a 2-point mistake. But it should have only been a consolation for them rather than an equaliser. One of those nights unfortunately

Is it my eyes or is the ball rolling really slowly all over the park tonight? It's not zipping about like it normally does, I know we've had a bit of rain like

We said the end of March. We just didn't clarify which year

Won't need a bench tonight, couple of chairs should suffice

Finishing 7th, with all of the shit that's been going on for the last 6 months, would be pretty incredible tbh. At the start of the season it would have been about par but considering all of the injuries, insane cup draws and other random shit it's about a good as we could possibly have hoped for. It's been fucking relentless from September onwards

Are you familiar with the Nazi SS logo?

I'd love to hear Wincey and Gerard from Clarkson's farm have a bit crack on

Right, I'm unlocking this in a bit, can I urge everyone to be respectful and tolerant of each other please. By all means debate things as that's the whole point of the place but there's no need to get personal or make people feel shit, it's not on. There's always going to be differences of opinions but there's no need to be a twat because you disagree. Play the ball, not the man please gentlemen

FAWWER marra

Looking forward to reading about how fucking mint their fans are for showing up, booing the shit out of their team/manager and leaving ridiculously early. Yep, great support that, best in the land. They're toxic as fuck and a huge reason why they are where they are and they refuse to accept or see it

Tew dewyn marra

Locking this for a few hours. Suggest some people have a look back and chill out when it's open again. Jesus, lads

Another piece of shit injury news but it's become the norm this season. Feel sorry for the bloke as he's only got so many seasons left in him and to lose the chance to play for an extended time is obviously pretty brutal, hope he's on the mend soon and can pick things up when he's fit again. To put any blame on Howe for a perfectly fit player landing awkwardly and pulling a ligament is just ridiculous though. There are some perfectly valid questions and criticisms that could be levelled at Howe for this season but a CB doing his acl isn't one of them

Marseille - PSG just about to start. Hope it's got more of an edge to it that that fucking dross earlier on
