That was never a penalty for Spurs but balanced up by the obvious foul in the build up to Brighton’s goal.

I still think this likely to be the most open season in a long time. Every side in the division is beatable and relatively inconsistent. As my bookies account will attest.
Just face it man the title race is over for you.

Yeh and that's the problem. When we score it masks (and seems to define) opinions about our performance. First half we couldn't string more than 2 passes together, couldn't get out of our own half and in the end kept lumping it long. The goal masked all that.

Imagine if Greenwood had scored that chance in the first half today, would that have made our performance any better?

And that's the difference, when the goal aint there, we see our problems exposed.

Hopefully Telles and Martial will be back next week for the PL games so lets see what happens.
You’re playing us, Martial always nets against us & we’ll still be missing Richarlison who’s key to our side. Today was the first time we’ve lost 2 on the spin under Carlo, next week it’ll be 3.
 
He doesn't stand his ground, he looks for Lallana and purposefully moves there so he'll be fouled, he doesn't even bother to make an effort to even look like he's going for the ball.
Terrible decision, should've been a yellow for Kane imo.

Haven't seen it but do recall Dele Alli at the old WHL flinging himself backwards into Andy King to try and win one ... ref waived it away but really should have booked Alli for blatant cheating ...

Now I do concede that our own Jamie Vardy is adept at winning a pen or two <whistle> ... but that tends to be by getting to the ball first and then taking the contact ... which is a bit different ... fine margins I know ...

... but VAR should be able to prove whether the attacker has thrown himself into the defender and, if that has happened, the fault, again, lies with those doing the reviews ... ex-players would spot it a mile off.
 
If I wasn’t a Spurs fan I’d still want them to win most weeks so I can witness the butthurt on here <laugh>
Seriously, nobody (and i mean nobody, not even Arsenal fans) give a **** about Spurs winning or losing <ok>

May be telling lies about losing because your board is great to read when that happens <laugh>

Wouldn't be putting money on that after watching United today... although if Ole has watched what Ryan Fraser did to your defence he might well consider playing Daniel James up top with Rashford ... and DVDB simply has to start alongside Penandez ... but what do I know? <laugh>
