The Joselu chant will be making a comeback then.

Joelinton stands out like a sore thumb. Bleached hair, big old unit, passionate, does love a foul and a big challenge plus he is always arguing with, well..... everyone On the subject of Spurs. Kulusevski has a bit of a nasty streak in him I reckon. The elbow against Chelsea that he somehow got away with. When you see that and then the Gordon incident. It makes you wonder how accidental that fully tensed shoulder to the face really was. Romero is an absolute mentalist and then Bergvall should have been sent off last night and for his age loves putting it about. Looks a great player already, TBF. Son got 3 reds in a season once. But of course 'HE IS NOT THAT SORT OF PLAYER.' Perhaps the moaning twat should look a bit closer to home.

I know it doesn't mean it isn't a foul. But I thought it telling for both Isak's goal on Tuesday and THAT goal against Arsenal. Neither Odegaard or Gabriel complained about a foul.

Anthony Taylor is taking the news well, I see.

Just sign all the centre backs. One day you’ll stop Isak.

I hear ya. But I suppose just get through the second leg and then worry about it after.

Well can I just say. I think West Ham have acted swiftly and very professionally here.

“You can think what you like! You don’t want to have an opinion. You asked and I gave you my answer mate. No comment.”

I could somehow accept losing to Liverpool. It would be expected. Losing to Spurs just doesn’t bear thinking about. I’ve got too many mates who support them and all the ‘Spursy’ stuff would be relentless 1-0 isn’t a big enough lead to take to Anfield, mind.

Not sure I’d go that far with my stake. But I don’t think a one goal lead to take to Anfield is enough for Spurs.

I thought he seemed off in real time and also on the first look at it. But it is a farce that it takes so long and it’s always based on dodgy camera angles and shit quality.

Not quite the same as the NFL need to get the hand signals involved.

Offside. Video footage from a Nokia 3310.

Surely fucking not? Genuinely worried one of his legs might fall off.

He does some great analysis pieces like this. But he’s always painfully unfunny and annoying. Beats Wallcott and Redknapp, I suppose

Spurs games are crap when they actually defend well and don’t go full house and send everyone forward

Carrying on from the other day when we were talking about keepers and their questionable heights. This new Spurs keeper does not look 6 3”? Seems tiny in the goal.

Kurt Leyland.

People should stop reading into Howe’s comments in the media regarding players, injuries, lineups, transfers etc. Remember when Barnes was doing his medical and he denied knowing anything about the deal being close or complete?! He’d be a great poker player

Did he? I thought it was Willock, Botman and Isak? In that case rest him and play one of the kids.

I'd play Murphy. He regularly just plays 60 minutes. I'm not sure we're going to change the entire XI, either. Have Sanusi on the bench. As he was showing glimpses in pre-season. No idea what he's been like for the U21's since.

I don't even see the point in playing Almiron. He has been that bad the last few appearances and is clearly no longer part of our plans. Along with any possibility of injury. It seems a bit of a waste.

He looked horrendous against Arsenal, I thought. But that is only one game.

PSG signing him but wanted to save on the private jet and chauffeur?

As I have said over and over again and I haven't really heard or seen it discussed. Does intent even need to come into it here? It's reckless and 'out of control', no? Two that come straight to mind. Probably because they were involving Liverpool in big games, so the media went on about it for weeks after. Mane when he got sent off against City for accidentally catching Ederson in the head. Jones away at Spurs last season in THAT game when Diaz got ruled offside when he was on by about 5 yards. Neither were deliberate acts. But both dangerous and serious foul play. Which I think this one fell under and not violent conduct. The fact he quite clearly tries to do Schar is actually irrelevant, no? Still not having he didn't mean it, nobody knows, it's accidental etc. Barely ever happens in games. Players are always hurdling out the way or avoiding treading on people. Can't remember the last time I saw something like this. You're telling me an elite sportsman, that must have an outrageous reaction time can't avoid stamping/treading on a player (twice) after three steps beforehand. Absolute nonsense.
