    No pundits, no commentators, just football, Liverpool losing to relegation candidates, Spurs winning with Sonny back on the scoresheet…

    Carlsberg don’t do MOTD, but if they did…

    He has been solid with some good saves, looks better at kicking than Lloris and has saved a penalty, not as agile or quick off his line as Hugo but our goal looks in decent hands.

    Do you watch the highlights, but mute all the "pundit" stuff in between ?? :)

    Gil wasn't loaned out for his development, he was loaned out for the sake of his own mental health

    That's not a joke, Gil outright said that was the case for wanting a loan

    Doesn’t matter the reason, I’m explaining why Danjuma was signed and what his role (or lack of role) is.

    He’s the backup in case of injury.

    On the other hand, if you put the kettle on at the wrong time you could miss our match entirely, what with MOTD lasting just twenty minutes tonight

    Apparently the BBC aren't the experts in contracts that they have claimed that they are...

    Good to see us win, for son and Kane to score, for Richarlison to play well and for Liverpool, Brentford and Brighton to all lose.

    Brighton drew but still an important result for us.

    Just watch the express highlight show on bbc one.

    How was Richarlison offside? He looked on to me.

    Possibly the fact that VAR filmed the replay with a potato.

    He wasn't. They drew the line from about a foot away from him and from the defender's armpit.
    Absolutely bullshit, bent decision from Darren England, the Northern prick.

    Good overall performance and the forwards played well, despite not scoring enough.
    Kane switched between leading the line and playing balls out wide or in behind.
    Forest couldn't handle it and we created plenty of chance. Should've finished 5 or 6 nil.

    Davies and Porro were both very good throughout.
    Should've made some changes earlier to freshen things up and shut them out.
    Gave away a silly goal and took the gloss off a bit.

    Spurs win percentage:
    Perisic starts: 41%.
    Perisic doesn't start: 75%.
    He's not a wingback. Stop it!

    Nice to see Mundle make the bench, but it was an absolutely pointless selection.
    He's a right-winger and we had Kulusevski, Moura, Perisic and Danjuma on the bench.
    Never going to get on and we were limited in midfield. Devine would be a much better choice.

    You know what could’ve answered that question?

    Pundits discussing the incident...

    I didn't see the game but from the highlights it appears Richarlison played a prominent role.
    Is that because DH wasn't watching <laugh>

    I rarely ever glance at MOTD.

    How was the viewing experience for you (and others)
    for the "express show" (DH need not reply :) ) ??
