    Nope. We’ve got a much better squad now so there’s no excuses for not going for a cup as well doing well in the Prem/ Europe. Poch himself has said he needs to win a trophy.

    In fairness to Poch, he did take the League Cup seriously last season. We played a full strength side in the first leg of the semi final but for Gazza in goal, only problem was that the second leg we were without Kane, Son and Alli and ultimately lost on pens.

    Let's all be like Formula One, perfection and going round in circles with no action. It's boring and it spoils the thrills and excitement, along with the argumentative passions of the game.

    Dunno why folk are moaning about this, for years people have been saying it takes 5 seconds to check things like goals and pens on a screen, then VAR comes in and all of a sudden it’s ruined the game.

    I would like for Spurs to have snatched the win, I'm glad they got a point. I'm just disappointed it was done in that manner.

    It was VAR applying the new rule.

    It’s ****. It will always be ****. Must be awful experiencing it in the ground.

    30-3 attempts on goal and we’ve somehow come out of that with a 2-2 draw <laugh>

    Never ever want to see this in the lower leagues. Even if a decision goes against my team, I still would not want the use of VAR to amend it.

    I think I’d like to say the same but I’m certain at some point (Lampard vs Germany?) I’d have went for it.

    Thing is for teams at the bottom of the league, it could be the difference between relegation and staying up, so it can’t be all bad.
