Regarding Naughton, it makes it even more apparent how fucking dumb we were to send a perfectly good, top 4 LB to the championship..

Hi Cardiff fan here - looking forward to the game on Sunday.
If anyone is interested, there's a tactical preview on the link below (your team from a Cardiff point of view). Admittedly it was written before the injuries last night but you've already got more than enough up front to scare us...
Anyway, hope you enjoy it if you take the time to read it.

Remember when Lloris did that thing where he probably handballed it?

This is the moment when Jan just realised that Kyle is hard
Foul or not on Hugo, it was a clear foul on Daws anyway, bloke had both hands on his shoulders.
12 on target. I know there were a few doozies in there, but that's still an impressive return away from home.
Early in a game where we came under some early pressure in a hostile environment, Naughton made a panicky and horrendous pass. However, he regained his composure and played a solid albeit unspectacular game out of position. More than any of you mugs could do.
I don't think any of us would argue that he will ever be first choice at the club but he clearly goes out a bust his ass on the pitch and really cares.
Plus, the team clearly rates him and Danny Rose gave him so glowing praise in his interview with Ben Pearce last week saying, "If I’m not up to scratch the gaffer has Jan, or Kyle [Naughton], or Zeki, who are more than capable of taking my place. If you see how Kyle trains, you feel a little bit sorry that he doesn’t get more game time, because he’s a brilliant player."

Overall, yeah he's not Maldini let alone Danny Rose but he's Spurs and you can tell he gives a fuck on the pitch and the merciless slagging him off is just uncalled for. He's Tottenham and should be treated as such.

That pass from Lamela ....
I kinda agree with making things difficult for ourselves by not scoring earlier, but LUCKY?? We shoulda had 6 by half-time!
The best compliment I can pay us today, was like it was watching a Man Utd team from a few years back... had all the possession, deserved the win, and GOT the win, as LATE as humanly (or should that be humanely?) possible! Yes we coulda scored more... but we could also have scored '0'!! the fact we DID score, made 2 points and ALL the difference to everyone's mood today... don't spoil it now with reality and cold hard facts!!
(mind you, that one goal we've conceded ALL season is making ALL the fucking difference to ours/ArseAnal's league position, so at least the ghost of OLD Spurs is still lingering!!)
Holtby did very well with the time he had. He's brilliant when he gets some time and space.
Think i've only just come off the ceiling, fuck me.
Didn't think the subs were particularly late today to be honest, we were absolutely playing them off the pitch and didn't really need a change of system. A few later like-for-like subs as fresh legs worked wonders so i'm not seeing anything majorly wrong there. Soldado will find form, he's making his own chances at the moment and it won't be long before he faces a 'keeper that isn't having the game of his life.
THINGS ARE LOOKING SO FUCKING GOOD RIGHT NOW.
