    I have a hunch this'll be the lineup for the replay...
    Vorm; Trippier, Foyth, Alderweireld, Rose; Wanyama, Winks; Sissoko, Lamela, Moura; Son

    No doubt Danny Murphy will be droning on about the lack of football our entire team's played this season once more, as if there isn't some way he can search online to see that Trippier, Son and Sissoko have played more minutes this season than Aurier, Alli and Dembele...

  2. Have to admit that his performance at Wembley against Madrid tricked me into thinking he was decent. In all his sporadic appearances since then he has looked abject. Some of that has to be down to his lack of game time, but not 100% - and his lack of commitment is inexcusable.

    We’d have done far better to have given Janssen another season......

    If you seriously believe that that was not a penalty then <laugh>

    THEIR players did not kick off when it was given...that should give you a clue.

    The TV companies need and thrive on controversies yet the commentator, the co commentator and all the studio pundits said it was a stone wall penalty... that should give you another clue.

    It was a clear penalty...you clearly have an issue and are unable to be impartial.

    I have no idea who you support but if your team were denied that as a penalty I suspect 99.9% of your fans would be astounded.

    He supports the club that is a feeder to a
    particular club who seem to have moral
    outrage about Spurs diving (due to that
    club NEVER having players who have
    dived) .

    Good luck to Rochdale (after the replay!). Their fans must be wondering that if they had played like that all season they would be heading their league not holding it up!

    It seems the misplaced sense of moral outrage was included in the fee for Van Dijk...

    You know who I support ffs rcl we speak all the time you North London Yobbo ;) <laugh>

    You may say it was a penalty, but that doesn't mean he didn't dive, he saw it coming, stuck his leg out and was already on his way down, the media and tosspots like Shearer are conditioning us to think it's acceptable now which is what I don't like - Like I said earlier, it's a wider issue too.

    He's constantly looking for situations to go down and was looking for it from as soon as he came on imo. Like I say, all clubs have these players and none of us like it, I used to slate Mane for it constantly when he was here but I do think Alli is among the worst for cheating and he's also a bit of a snidey **** as well.

    For all that money the buying club obviously
    insisted on a 'supporter proxy diving moral
    outrage' clause.

    A little Reddit Mathematics for everyone
    Obviously it's an almost impossible task to displace Kane as their main striker, but Spurs have had some pretty awful back-up strikers since Kane broke through. Between Ade, Soldado, Janssen and Lllorente they've played 114 games for Spurs since Kane had his breakthrough season and scored a totally of 9 non-penalty goals between them. That's abysmal. I think it's a combination of Spurs being totally set-up to suit Kane and also of those back-up strikers being not very good. Either way it's probably something they should look at addressing.

    Just ignore the fact that most of those "114 games" are five minute cameos from the bench.

    If you want a discussion fine but tone your attitude down or expect to be deleted.

    What on Earth was wrong with that post? <doh>

    The North London Yobbo comment is an ongoing joke between me and RCL from when Rupert Lowe said at some point.

    One of the only things he got right mind <laugh>

    Wonder how Palace feel about the date shift out ??
    Extra rest, or more pressure after rival results
    the day before ??

    Do a Monday Night Special about Spurs having to sell all our players and coaching staff?

    Probably try to move one of the other games and piss four sets of fans off, instead of two.
