Little slip by Burn, lucky ricochet's in their build up - tiniest things by same token the tease of the over-hit free-kick got us the equaliser

The TV was going off if that ball went anywhere near our box after Isak's free-kick

Didn't enjoy it one bit at the time, but going through the ringer and the gamult of emotions is the full footall experience at the end of the day

4-3 written all over it now

Exactly the sort of decision that will never be given against these cunts. "Not clear and obvious" - sure it would be if it was the other way

Fucking Tyldsey wanking off about 'training ground' and 'pass and move' and it was cross that was blocked and fell nicely for the crosser to put it in again.

Just takes the league leaders to equalise for the knives to come out does it?

Don't know if required an orgasm from Tyldsley like, the north-west favouring 20years past his sell-by-date prick

Usually is against Liverpool for some reason even when we have beaten them - post KK. The Pardew one, the Robert one's - none really stick in the memory as being good except the 3-0.

Murphy's done well th neet. Given and Fowler and the podium braving the gale force elements pitchside like storm chasers

Only complaint - 2-0 would be a fairer reflection.

The atmosphere at Liverpool is notoriously bad especially since the extension but they complained about it long before that. Must be the acoustic design. Even though it wasn't a problem with a flat and open (not keeping the sound in) one-tier stadium until the mid 90s.

Is the pic of SJP not even from the Spurs game where the boycott took place? Just the sort of freak incident they'd pick, completely at random, to try and illustrate a point, but failing that at least get another fantasy into mackem lore

Best season they've had in who know how long, could have gone top I gather, exciting team, manager etc. Minimum of 12,000 empty seats Been about two weeks since and about two weeks until stadium expansion craic on RTG though.

Whatever we do commercially the sides already ahead of us can do. We'll close the gap a bit, they'll make it as-you-were with a season ticket increase or something. They're not going to just stand still and there's a limit to what clubs outside the 6 can do given they'll invariably not be challenging. Investment is/was the only way. Nobody has got up there any other way since the the 80s/commercialisation of the game

I don't think we'll finish any higher than 7th but look at every achievement by any side any season and there'll be results that should have negated what they achieved in the end.

Tonali and Barnes were fine additions to the building of a club going to the top - supplemented with more of the same over following seasons changing the whole squad to top rank. For a club that basically cant go beyond 7th with all things being equal they weren't good signings, bit on the luxurious side rather than the smarter business of earlier

We cant and were not.

Contributes nothing, quite the opposite in fact. Even as 'just a body' until Lascelles/Botman and free he's not a good signing

Canny weekend for the cartel. Bar Man United they all win and all the ambitious clubs they've hobbled and have generally hit a glass ceiling of legislature dropped points.

They're hamstringing us. Often literally.

Owners that don't want to invest are nee bother at all.

Its so disproportionate. They've gone to more effort to prevent a top 7/8 than anything since at least the formation of the Premier League itself even that's debatable. All that would happen is it would make it more difficult for 4 clubs to win the league and Spurs to look more like also-rans but as a trade off you get more big games and two more massive clubs. That's worth tearing up what's worked for 125years for and chrystalising things as they lay?

Every stadium in the premier league has a poor atmosphere, whatever the shape and that pretty much covers every option, whether new or old. The various incarnations of SJP have all had good and bad atmospheres. The wide open at both ends pre Premier League desigh, the 36k incarnation or the 52k. Its the type of people in the stadiums that's the problem and there'd be more of those not less the bigger the stadiums get.

Didn't care about the profit and sustainability of smaller clubs when they carved the PL up to keep the gate reciepts from them and subsequently success with it. In the 10years prior we had or would have had Watford, Southampton, Ipswich, QPR, Norwich (twice), Oxford, Luton, Forest, Wimbledon and Coventry in Europe. Couldn't help but notice how that dramatically changed in the PL era, and is obviousl over forever now.
