It’s weird
We top the table for most points lost from winning positions and most points gained from losing positions
To be a spurs fan huh
I was just re-watching this on Spursplay and it's much more interesting when you aren't blinded by palpitations. One thing that stood out is how we seemed better all over the pitch. Both teams benefited from mistakes, of course, but them more so.
BBC's match ratings were funny. Not one of our players (inc. subs) got less than 6. ONLY one of their players got more than 6! And that was Saka, for his incredible solo effort goal (i.e. the penalty that should not have been)

Agree. But I t think that effected the rest of the game more than Son for Richarlison
Keeps it interesting!
I had to check that out, they're aggregated fans' ratings, aren't they?
Five South Londoners scored under 5. Seven of our players scored more than Saka.
In short, YIDS!

Daily Mail gave Bissouma a 5.5 rating
Don't be daft.
They pulled away from us like a hypercar pulls away from a jogger.
Wenger, Henry, Vera, Bergkamp, Petit, Overmars etc.
They were, annoyingly, genuinely brilliant.
Always worth remembering this when in conversation with gooners as it helps establish how fake they all are:
In their so called ‘invincibles’ season they actually LOST 5 times! Knocked out of cups and lost in Europe 3 times. They actually lost on penalties in the Charity Shield too if you want to make it 6 times. In the league they weren’t exactly all-conquering as they drew 12 times, gaining those draws by diving in the box at every opportunity, and Keown standing in front of Van Nistlroy before he took a last minute penalty which he then missed. Invincibles my arse

I think it was Ben White. The ball hit is hand, just before he turned and shot.
The first football game I remember watching on TV was the 71 cup final when charlie George scored an extra-time winner to secure the double - with me finding his goal celebration funny my mum piped up she played bingo with his mum every Monday and would ask for a signed shirt my dad replied if she brought an Woolwich shirt home he would burn it - whilst she was wearing it- surprisingly it was another 3 years before they divorced
Forgetting the result, creating that many chances and playing the game on at least even terms away against them, just a few months into our development, is a testament to Angeball.
We won't win every match, but we'll always create chances to do so. Celtic didn't get the results in the CL last season, but in every match they created multiple openings, including loads home and away against Real Madrid. There wasn't a game they didn't - they just didn't have the quality to take them.
So irrespective of the level of opponent, home or away, the chances will be there.

To be fair, he wasn't sharp enough for a lot of the game, made me twitch several times!Daily Mail gave Bissouma a 5.5 rating
You know these arseholes have tried to change the narrative, right?
They claim that historically, Spurs were North of the London border, so they have been north London longer than us.
Despite the fact we haven't moved, only the border has.
Yeah, but against who?
We haven't taken many points from losing pairings positions against the traditional top sides that I can rescan recall.
They can fuck off with that shit.
We're THE north London club. Always have been (proof below) and ever more shall be so.
I think Spurs and Celtic fans get on quite well with each other. I was at the Feyernoord Jubilee tournament and shared many a pint with Spurs fans in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Rangers fans make up a rumour that all Celtic fans hate English teams which is totally untrue.
Rangers fans like to pretend they are the "Quintessential British club" who love Britain. They wreck every English city they visit
I kind of gave up being interested in anything you have to say, when you said you were going to turn up to a Spurs home game dressed in a Celtic shirt.
Under Conte and PEH we had zero control of a game
Doesn’t surprise me especially when you consider wankers like Dier, Lloris, Royal etc
