    I've watched that clip a number of times and I don't think it is someone spitting at him.
    I think it's someone's hair and the only possible candidate for gobbing at him is wearing a mask.
    Nothing would surprise me nowadays, though. Ridiculous amount of hatred in the game at the moment.

    Both clubs are looking into it
    https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/harry-winks-spat-at-video-tottenham-hotspur-leyton-orient-1109211

    Given how the Twitter mob in particular psyche themselves into a rabid fury at the mere mention of Winks, which is completely healthy and doesn't make them look in any way deranged, it wouldn't surprise me if BankruptSpurs, SpursGotLevy'd et al are very quickly scanning their replies just in case somebody proudly says they gobbed on Winks for them

    The CockOnBall tweet from that article has been deleted, presumably because of the responses:


    It's from this Chris Cowlin clip:


    Happens at about the 2.36 mark and the "spit" is definitely someone's hair.

    There's definitely the sound, though, which is odd

    There are similar noises throughout the video. 1.45 has an almost identical sound, for example.
    I can't work out exactly what it is, but I don't think it's spitting. It is odd, though.

    A camera click would make the most sense, but I know a few pro photographers and none of their digital SLR cameras make that sort of noise - but cameras from the 90s do, which would mean that there's somebody out there who is unaware that digital photography has been the standard for at least a decade, a scenario that is somehow the more far-fetched

    Well this will never happen again. I had two meetings which ran the length of today's match--and both were cancelled. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Not that the meetings would have distracted me from the match.

    It'd be nice if we announced the lineup at some point...

    This is as close as they've got, at the moment.

    I wonder what's happened to Hart?
    They're a bit too West Ham for my liking. Can't spell Trialist, either.

    What’s the deal with Reguilon, Sessegnon and Ndombele? Not been in any squad yet. They were all in earlier training videos/ pics when pre-season started.

    Not fit enough, presumably.

    So the usual reason for Ndombele.

    No booing of the taking of the knee in this fixture, either. Good to see.

    Someone should've put that away.
    And that.
    And again.
    Dier could have a hat-trick already.
