    Spurs fan telling him to throw the game repeatedly apparently.

    Ange just going over and saying what did you say? And stuff, lost his temper. Fair enough.

    Imagine telling someone to throw the game against that city team.

    Just attention seeking and repeating the same 'joke' over and over again.

    Strangely enough there's a similar conundrum tonight ...

    ... is it better if Newcastle qualify for the CL, which they won't win, or the 'runners up cup' which they might?

    Thought that Spurs were quite dirty throughout the game targeting Foden in particular , found it unusual to see them play in that way as I can’t recall the club playing games in that way .

    Agree, but it bit them on the arsenal when their dirtiest player, Romero, only dangled his foot out at Foden on the halfway line... leading to the breakthrough

    Indeed. Although I don’t think there was any malice in the challenge on Ederson. Can you imagine what Billy Whitehurst would’ve done <laugh><laugh>

    That won’t be happening. Europa or Conference League for the Saudis. They’d have a chance in both tbf

    Been reading the back and forth between fans about last nights football, quite entertaining. Personally if that was us I’d want someone to smash 3 own goals in the first 5 minutes to stop them c*nts winning the league.

    Got me thinking about Spurs squad and when I had look into it they really have wasted a lot of money on average players rather than just spending a bit more to sign quality. Bissouma, Bentancur, Sarr, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso none of them over 30m, none of them really worth talking about. Back 4 last night cost around €180m which is more than both Liverpool and Arsenals, probably around the same price as the back 4 City had out albeit they don’t have the depth City do.

    Not saying you can’t compete but when the likes of Arsenal and City have bought world class players that’s just not enough.

    Loved that Fulwell End goal of Big Billy's... took the ball, the defender and the keeper into the back of the net. Monster.

    Yes of course ... I haven't checked for a while and was going on guesswork.

    Strange how I've virtually lost interest in them after all these years.

    Agree completely with the first paragraph!!

    as for the bold bit, Van Dijk would be a 1£100m+ player if signed at the same time as the Spurs defence. Arsenal I think are just very good at findthose player. Saliba is world class. One of the best centre he world imo!

    Not disagreeing about the lack of quality for money mind!!

    That’s what a rotten takeover does.

    Those were the days, the memories... I'm nearly 61...

    I loved the Fulwell End. Started off in The Roker with my dad in 74. Went with my mates to The Fulwell for the atmosphere and singing. In 78/79 we would even go to St James's to watch the skunks, as travel and tickets were so cheap. Remember their fans fighting with the coppers every game when they sang about a local villan. Later, I was in the Paddocks, as the edgey atmosphere with the Away fans, who were sometimes housed in the Paddock seats, or corner of the Roker depending upon numbers, was always interesting. I was in the Paddocks for the Skunk game when they had a hundred or so in the Fulwell. We were caged in, so all we could do was hoy coins at them.

    Ended up in the Mainstand SEATS!! for the last few seasons at Roker before we moved to the SOL. Been in the West stand with my mates, then East with my son. We've just upgraded to the middle of the East stand on the halfway line. Cannot wait for the new season...

    Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the lads

    Yeah Saliba and Gabriel have been quality haven’t they. Surprised VVD got nominated for POTS over Saliba mind. How Arsenal have managed to find not just one but two monster CB’s is crazy and both for less than £30m.

    Celtic need a point at Kilmarnock tonight to win the league. I’m sure they’ll get the win…
