Man, if it was us that would be *chef’s kiss*

What an amazing game . Fantastic performance by Hojlund criminally wasted. Absolutely hilarious.

Just watching the Man U highlights. What a cracking first goal from Hojlund. Really wish we’d gone all out for him, although he’d presumably have chosen Man U anyway. Zaha goal just went in and was hilarious.

The stadia chosen are interesting. Just waiting for Liverpool FC to make a strongly-worded statement.

Just to say, watching the highlights of the Spurs-Liverpool match just now, and Neville’s commentary during the Jones red card is absolutely terrible

Yeah, I do think that people are forgetting how De Gea was playing and how low his confidence was. Still, just look at the keepers bought in the off season. Onana £44M, Sanchez £25M, Vicario £16M, Verbruggen £16M, Henderson £15M. It’s looking a bit silly.

Just woke up and saw the scores from last night. i had checked the Luton score before going to bed but completely forgot about the CL. Going to enjoy the highlights today.

Dunno mate. Sounds like you made a hasty judgment quickly and under pressure (that it was cheating), then when you were given time to consider the evidence and come to the right conclusion (that it was incompetence) you decided that your own laws forbade you from going back and changing that judgment so you let it stand.

didn’t go anywhere near the comments. There’s a thread on Spurscommunity about “what other fans are saying about us”. Some of the stuff on RAWK is just…wow.

It’s precisely what me and KI said waaaay back in the thread. And as I pointed out at the time, if you do that and it goes wrong it is dangerous play. That’s the risk you take, and the key point is that the risk isn’t to you but the poor sod who might have his ankle broken. If you try to put your foot over the ball to control it the chances of putting your studs into the opponent’s ankle/shin/knee are pretty high. We’ve seen it a ton of times. Then when the opponent is quicker to the ball and actually plays the ball which is the point of this fucking game then he stands a significant chance of being injured. It’s dangerous play. It bugs me that we have to have this conversation.

They mentioned it on a podcast yesterday. I believe it’s the one thing they can appeal (not the yellows or the offside) so they’re probably just hoping that they get a sympathy vote.

Not to him. Only Jesus is what he had tattooed. I’m treating that as, er, Gospel.

Mudryk a fan of “Only Jesus” I see. The Father and Holy Ghost will be miffed.

Right lads, anyone up for us winning the title on goal difference from Liverpool? Imagine the fallout. Just me?

This seems a pretty good summary: https://www.football365.com/news/sympathy-liverpool-huge-limitless-sporting-integrity-statement-absurd

I love your phrasing…as if Norman bit his legs and he bit the dust. RIP. Tbf, I don’t want to look at his face now (anyone old enough to get that?)

Yeah, the European Cup semi-final v Benfica in 1962 with the bent refs please.

I love the end of the statement: “In the meantime, we will explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution.” You pompous fucks

Faintly ironic that the existence of VAR has actually enabled the Liverpool whinge-in. No VAR means offside and no goal. Got into an argument intense and rewarding discussion with my (Arsenal fan) plasterer this morning who said we should give Liverpool the three points, we should be ashamed to celebrate etc etc. Won’t bore you with all the details but his initial argument was that if the goal had stood then Liverpool wouldn’t have gone down to ten men and would have won easily. I’ll leave you to spot the flaw there. We can all play this game. One of my responses to him was that the Nketiah tackle should have gone to VAR and I would be pretty confident of a red if that happened. You could argue it was a failure of the VAR system and thus the game should be replayed with them down to ten etc etc. Most Spurs forums have had the post up showing the McAllister tackle on Tanganga, Jota kicking a standing Skipp in the head and others. We can all play this game. It was an egregious and inexcusable mistake. Agree totally with Pilko or Tron or whoever it was who said it should be a dedicated VAR team. Just…fuck me this last couple of days have been boring. And I stress, anyone asking me to have any sympathy for a Liverpool fan over this beyond “yeah, it does suck” is asking more than they could possibly know.

I could probably do this all night. But I won’t. Because we all know, and using their own phrase, “This is Liverpool”.

Main the gave the first yellow was that he knew he should have given him a yellow for an earlier tackle.

Wife’s sorting it out. Month or two ago we were in Newton-by-the-Sea. Think this is a bigger house somewhere near Bamburgh. I like the idea of South Shields v Blyth Spartans tbh. A chance to show them Newcastle too.

It’s only when rewatching it that you get the full force of Klopp’s cuntiness too. Just like Arteta, he could so easily have been at least booked for going walkabout.

Enjoying watching this again much more . I’m up to 60 mins. Don’t think we did much wrong tbh. Alisson was amazing. Wish Richarlison was a bit less…limited as a player.
