    For the full of the stream experience, say everything our players did was a foul. Kickoffs, throw-ins, goal celebrations...

    If I had the money, I would pay for a Jimmy Liddel commentary of the entire 90 minutes.

    <laugh> It's a shame the lad didn't score...they'd have been in tears!

    He bossed the midfield.

    Yeah, Mourinho hates players trying to pressure the officials...

    The free kick being lined up in the clip with the Devine comment, screamed into the top corner, a couple of seconds later.

    The secret of great comedy...?
















    Timing.

    If you have the Instagram app on your phone, go to Devine's account and read his latest post caption along with the comments from the 18s and 23s players, they definitely watched the game back on the Chelsea YouTube channel and noticed the commentators <laugh>

    I said during the game he’s become proper Tottenham already, he just keeps reaffirming it!

    If he does make it into the first team, which is very possible, I think he’s the type who’ll become a real crowd favourite.

    For me, the most impressive piece of play is the last clip, where he shadows the forward and just shows him the touchline. The bloke's going nowhere. Norwich have the game won, so have no desperate need to win the ball and do anything with it. If Skippy goes in for a tackle, he runs the risk of giving away the free kick that most of our defenders would concede.

    He waits until a team mate comes to outnumber the bloke and together they take the ball. Smart fish.

    1. Intelligent (non-reckless) defensive tackling

    2. number of yds FORWARD that the play moves from the
    moment he gets the ball and the attack begins
