    Extended highlights:


    Not lots to criticise about the performance, so I'll take a dig at the editing, instead.
    Feels really rushed and choppy. Commentary cuts off during sentences and clips start nowhere.
    Real drop-off compared to previous seasons. Rob Daly's still excellent, though.

    That is good.
    Those counts would be nowhere near as high when
    the opposition attack has you under pressure.

    I’m not sure the point you are trying to make Smithy? Are you saying that spurs are being negative? We did play safe against palace when we were 2-0 up, but I’m glad we did! It’s the sort of game we previously would have lost so it’s horses for courses.
    Our football has been one of the most attacking in the league. We’ve had more shots than any other team. The fact we can grind out a win should be seen as a positive. You can’t always play open attacking football, sometimes you need to just get the 3 points.

    Still drives me nuts when I see games where teams insist on this sideways backwards approach.Blimey,even the goalies think they are George Best with the ball at their feet! I'm yelling at the screen "The goals up the other end!" I can remember teams who'd turn up at Tottenham and play to draw and I'd wish them a quick relegation.Sometimes that won them the league!!!!!

    Agreed, but he's a generally a decent fella, so his apology is likely heartfelt and honest.
    :emoticon-0148-yes:
    It happens to the best of us ...I called Sunak a **** today and I'd like to apologise for that too. I should have called him a corrupt, self-serving ****. It was a serious oversight on my part for which I am truly sorry. <wah>

    It's from last season's game, so they took their time, but it's good to see the prick banned.
