Annoying result but conversely it keeps us on our toes. Need to go into Leicester like we're facing Liverpool.

Couldn't give a monkeys about Ange's point tbh. He's made himself a target. Try handling that side of the job better. Spurs fans must be absolutely sick to their back teeth of him at this point. Gobshite who belongs in second rate leagues.

Meanwhile FIFA are just giving them £30m+. That club will never, ever get its comeuppance.

I'm confident we can get 5th because just recently we're either playing well and winning (Liverpool) or playing average and finding a way (Brighton, West Ham, Brentford - yeah fuck off I'm counting Brighton). That's a good place to be in. However, I'm also certain that the random vibes of the whole season will continue to the very end. E.g. Brighton being on an exceptional run and then getting twatted 3-0 at home (just one example of many cases of teams suddenly hitting the off-button).

The cup was obviously the cup. Wouldn't worry about it, Heron.

Just catching up on the highlights. ffs that disallowed goal. Barnes rightly absolutely fuming with Isak there. sxc cross from Murphy for the first goal.

How we doing?

A nice relaxing 20 minutes to go.

Match thread

He signed a three-year contract ten days after that Spurs game.

The difference there is I'm comparing how I feel about two people. Howe is obviously more successful than Rafa, to suggest otherwise would be lunacy. The poster has been 'piled on' because they're comparing the actual impact of two people and suggesting it was identical which, to any sane observer, is nonsense.

The way we've worked previously is to strike if we think there's a great deal to be had, even if that position isn't an immediate priority. There's a few examples of this; Livramento is probably the biggest of all imo cos we had Trippier, Krafth and Ashby as RB options; Guehi would've been another. For that reason I can see us definitely being in the race for Delap if he's available at a competitive price.

I know people will point to Man Utd's defending but I thought that was a fucking brilliant goal from Elanga last night. He absolutely terrified them into getting a shot away for himself. Lethal attacking play, so aggressive and direct - it reminded me of Owen's against Argentina. You can see why we were after him; would have no beef at all with us investigating that move again but assume we'd be priced out.

At least there was a tactic. We nearly got a result in that game n'all. Given we had Elliot, Dummett, Manquillo, Aarons and Joselu in the side, maybe we should've been more gung ho.

Gordon pushing a man over and Schär looking at someone - and each getting three game bans - is where it's fucking stupid. However, Mr Joelinton Cássio Apolinário de Lira repenting for some cumulative foul play is - I would say - the most fair enough thing that's ever happened in the history of the sport.
