Not sure who's worse, the ref or the co-commentator.....

 

HALF-TIME: Tottenham 1-2 Southampton

 

Could do with Eriksen and Soldado locking one another in the bogs at half time.

 

Phew, half time. Should have been well away by now.

 

Sherwood looks as if he could eat thunder and lightning.

 

it's a funny old game. Looking calm, assured and completely in control at 2-0. Then a mistake by Clyne (feel on reflection that Lovren simply fell over) and we look ragged and desperate. Not as bad as Sherwood does though

 

Yeah, and I wasn't aware that one's shin could foul someone's studs, either. Mini-Webb hasn't had too many decisions, but he seems to have gotten a couple of them wrong...oh well, didn't end up getting punished from it.

 

Need Ramirez on. The Spurs defence has given Rickie loads of space, hence why he's been really good today.

 

Ramirez good shout. Let's keep the ball and hope this Europa tiredness kicks in!

 

We've stopped passing and stopped pressing.

 

The thing that worries me is that I don't think spurs can be as bad in the second half as they were in the first

 

Not sure what the ref has done wrong. Let the game flow and Lovren just fell over.

 

Also just want to say that Davis has been a class above so far

 

Rickie did a thing early on that only Rickie seems capable. He stood there, just outside the Spurs penalty area, at the nearest corner to the camera, with the ball, and just suggested he'd be passing it almost immediately. He was there was several seconds and nobody tackled him. He does this time and again in games, and I love it. It shows that opposition players respect him so much they dare not commit themselves because he'll punish them with a killer pass [or a shot if he's close enough].

 

And your view in the Davis incident?

 

I disagree, his arm was tugged and put him off balance just as he turned to take the ball away.

 

Watch it from behind; he doesn't get tugged.

 

Let's just best another top 6 side please.

 

Ref's Union going strong still (though in fairness he's not been as bad as the co-commentator).....

 

I'd like to see Jayrod's disallowed goal. At first glance, it looks miles offside but I wonder about the full back on the other side to Jay Rod. I thought he played him on.
