    Does make the extra officials seem more pointless than they already are when they get decisions like that wrong

    And the corner for their goal. And the foul on Alli just before he got the red. Great stuff.

    If only we could have got out of Europe after the abysmal CL performances. It's like we're being tortured.

    Kane shooting from miles out when he's got Eriksen running free right through the middle. <doh>

    They've had four yellows already though. Footballs a funny old game and we could end up seeing the ref "level it up" making it 10v10.

    Lots of shots, but no real quality on the finishes. Real uphill battle now.

  8. Once again a half goes by without a decent shot, corner or freekick. Just not good enough I am afraid.

    You have to hope tonight is Allis' "Beckham" moment, and that he
    will now similarly grow up on the pitch.

    Dejeagere will probably go off at half-time, though. He looks injured. That's one of them.
    Can't see the ref sending off the keeper, especially for timewasting. That's another.
    You never know, but Alli's really ****ed us up, really.

  11. If the first one hadn't been so blatant I might agree with you. But it wasn't even remotely debatable......

    I said before the game Alli shouldn't start. He's done nothing since the Wycombe game. Wouldn't mind him being dropped for a period now and let Son take his place. At least the Korean doesn't spend half the match rolling around on the floor waiting to be awarded free kicks.

    ****'s sake. We should be well ahead but Alli's a ****ing idiot for that. Trust that to be the only thing the ref gets right all half though.

    Drop Eriksen into midfield and take Dembele off for Son second half. I'd look at taking Jan off too, there's going to be a lot of running in the second half.

  14. Think i noted at least 4 or 5 times he had done that before losing it altogether. Young man with a lot of growing up to do.

    Two lessons learned from this half:

    1) We have to put an end to this nonsense of our corners being the perfect springboard for the opposition to counter-attack. If we can't get them right, just set the team up for a goal kick and have Eriksen tap the ball over the byline. Would be far more productive.

    2) When I played Sunday league, we used to put a man (sometimes two) on the posts when defending corners. What the hell happened to that?!

    When refs have dealt out so many yellows so early, IMHO they bottle it in
    the 2nd half as they know a team could be playing with 8-9.

    It's unlikely I know, but the pressure of the crowd may get to the ref...

    Still think Spurs can win this.

    I would take Davies off and bring on Janssen.

    Maybe at White Hart Lane, but I can't see it at Wembley. It's not the same atmosphere.

    Sitting 15 rows behind the goal we scored in so got a good view of Dele incident...deserved 3 reds...should have got a foul before then does that <yikes>
    Has completely killed our chances...ref is an arse but Dele needs to take a long hard look at himself tonight.
    Really wanted us to do well tonight...<grr>
    Coooooommmmmmmeee
    Ooooooonnnnnnnnnn Yooooooooouuuuuuuuu Spuuuuuuurrrrrrrssssssss
