Kid Icarus

Longstaff, Joelinton, and Bruno have often found themselves in good goalscoring positions. I'd imagine Gordon will too. Isak's not quite there physically for me.

The "you can't criticise anything" craic is just as shite and boring. It's nigh on always 2 sides talking past each other, about other people, to people who think what they're saying is directed at them anyway.

I can definitely see where the goals are coming from. Until today our recent lack of goals was mostly from poor finishing. There's no reason we can't get back to creating hatfuls of chances and go the next step and finish them.

Ridiculously underrated if anything

Calm down. Christ

Err....okay? Literally said it was shit

It was shit, but it was shit because the players are knackered, not because they're bad or not putting the work in. I find it hard to criticise us too much in that context.

It's twitter. Half won't be actual people and the other half are Twitter football fans, they're all spoiled weirdos.

Hope he's alright. He's not in the greatest form but he's so important to the way we play and will need him for the final.

You hope that this is a lull rather than the start of worse form. If this is our lull and we're still gaining on Spurs and Brighton with games in hand, amazing.

Hard to criticise Howe for us looking knackered like.

The frustration for me is that Spurs have been absolutely shocking all season and should be where Chelsea and Liverpool are based on their performances. Them having Kane has kept them in touching distance of 4th and if we continue to look knackered, they (and Brighton) will be right there.

Only singling him out in that he looks the most knackered and therefore had the worst performance. He's obviously a good player.

Our issues definitely aren't ones that are solved by bringing in one or two players, the entire team looks shattered.

You have to be honest and call a spade a spade, that was absolutely shit. We look knackered. Pope: 7 Trippier: 6.5 Schär: 5.5 Botman: 5 Burn: 4 Joelinton: 6 Longstaff: 5 Willock: 5 Almiron: 6 Isak: 5.5 ASM: 5 Gordon: 6

Well I didn't 'compare' them at all, it was an example I used to make a wider point. It's not my fault that you're thick mate

Worst half we've had under Howe. It's been in the post I think, we have all the signs of a team that's starting to look knackered - sloppiness, lack of sharpness, movement, pace, imagination. Hopefully ASM, Isak, Gordon and others can mitigate for it, or we can refresh soon and go again.

They draw the lines where they want like, no fucking way is that offside Also, Spurs are absolutely shit

Why would there be a meltdown? It's funny.

You can’t drop Wilson after he finally scored like. He'll probably get his usual hour.

I think if you're putting the excitement of what's going on at the club on the same level as those things, then you're not looking at it right tbh. I doubt anyone thinks it's ruining their good time

Think we're more likely to beat Liverpool than Brighton like. Just dreamt we beat them 7-2 as well, make of that what you will.

Of course there is, I'm just making a point. That for the most part it's about personal preference and as soon as it's something you don't personally like, suddenly it's not about being needlessly offended or whatever, it's valid. There's also an irony about people whinging about people whinging when often they're just giving an opinion. Everyone's a hypocrite basically

Funnily enough it's about what I think of our fanbase that matters to me. If I don't like something and think someone's doing our fanbase a disservice, I'll say. No different to the swathes of people who have plenty to say about Adam P, Steve Wraith, Alex Hurst and the horse puncher. Or thought that the things SackPardew and AshleyOut did was embarrassing. Or obsesses over Sunderland and their attendance figures. Or have plenty to say about rainbow laces, taking the knee, or a player not wearing a poppy. Presumably the irony of getting bent out of shape over other people having an opinion on something is completely lost when it's something you're not personally arsed about.

I was at the Odeon for that one. Genuinely unreal atmosphere
