Tottenham 0-1 Newcastle - Match Thread - 25/8/19

Not caring makes the defeats easier, but not being able to fully enjoy a win like today is 10x worse.

It definitely hurts. No one *wants* to not enjoy a win.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Today was class. Support behaved well and it was a good performance - we look so comfortable playing that way (shock) and the overall shape was much more balanced.

 

Away days are the only time I feel like recognise the club as I came to know it, as long as the kids aren't being total knobs.

I’ve no idea how that wasn’t a pen mind.

Discussed in the VAR thread.

I missed the first half hour, where did Saint Maximin play position wise? Live score has him in the middle of a midfield 5 which I cant imagine .

Left of the front three.

[James]

Thought Atsu was excellent he should have been involved in last two games.

 

It’s a strange one but he does always seem to lift the team upon returning from a prolonged absence.

[Guest]

He’s been injured and little pre-season.

Cheers, hoped it was.

[Sean]

I must be one of the few left who still wanted the club to get what it deserved today. Even winning £60 on account of the win, I couldn't help but want them to equalise. I think not caring might come next.

Spurs were shite, we played them off the park, Bruce deserves credit.

I am not sure that is entirely true.

[Bizza]

Spurs were shite, we played them off the park, Rafa's tactics deserves credit.

Stats back this up

[snabelkabel]

As much as I hate Ashley, I have to say I am delighted with this result today. I just cant want us to lose. It's a strange situation.

 

100%, can't say I am not happy with winning. f***ing hate the state of how the club is run at the moment and how it won't ever get any better under Ashley

 

But, I am not as confident as others are about needing to get down all the way to League 1 just for Ashley to leave. How can you be so sure we would get a more competent owner and how are you certain we will rise back to this level in a relatively quick time. Look at Leeds, Nottingham etc.

 

Really s*** how the entire thing is at the minute. I won't fund the club and Ashley anymore, but I want us to win.

 

You do by default.On a scale from 1-10, Ashley is probably a nine, with a owner like Blackpools chopping down legend statues at a 10. Any new owner would be in the scale of 1-8, as no one buys a football club to chop down statues of its legends just to spite the fans right from the off.

 

We might not get as rich an owner, but what good have that brought us.

Watched it but again felt nothing, exactly the way I felt with the Arsenal game. Such a weird shitty feeling. Thought Spurs were absolutely awful though despite having so much of the ball. I suppose at least this has bought the pigeon wifey longer time.

[Guest covmag]

That roar when it hits the back of the net 

[astraguy]

Felt so odd watching that game and not giving a fuck, I'm gutted we won (How bad does that sound) but winning will damage us like when McClaren got a huge result then last how many games it was

[Fitzgerald]

That roar when it hits the back of the net 

 

Was some roar like tbf. Covmag is back on board  even a photo change from the cabbage in honour of that win

[jackyboy]

Got to give credit to the players, I reckon Almiron must have covered 20 miles.

 

I think that during the week the players had a meeting with Bruce and said 'Look, your systems don't work, they are 20 years out of date, you don't know what your doing...........But you are a really nice bloke and a Geordie so let us go out and play the Rafa way using his trusted formation'

Nah I’m just sick of the constant fucking whinging day in day out, I gave up my season ticket I bought just before Keegan signed as a player, I’ve done the hard yards.

 

Bruce is a muppet but I won’t buy into the constant daily grind of taking the piss out of him, it’s nuts man, I’ve already stated Ashley won’t get any of my money, it fucking hurts not to go after so long, so don’t come on here taking the piss that I was actually tucking happy that Newcastle won, I’ve tried to hate them, it doesn’t work, I’ve tried not to care, it doesn’t work.

 

Yes I may have been a right twat if as expected we had gotten hammered yesterday but I’m as fickle as they come tbh, it’s a game of football and whatever happens I will struggle to want us to lose, sorry but I’m not gonna sit hear and have a go at a Bruce because his team fought for him yesterday end of.

3 of my close mates are all Spurs fans and they were all very fair in the Whatsapp chat.

 

Felt we deserved to win and they were very flat.

[morla84]

Very nice feeling for our noisy rabble to disrupt the spurs fans while they were nibbling on a gourmet vegan roasted beetroot and truffle foam vol au vent and sipping on their chardonnay and asking the stewards to turn the volume down on the home 'crowd noise' playing out over the tannoys.
