Try to imagine a conversation in real life where someone paid you or your family a complement like that, would you really respond in that manner?
You might not be homophobic yourself but it’s a cheap homophobic jibe either way, it belongs in the 1970s. I’m guessing you wouldn’t have made that joke to a gay person’s face right? Also just residing in Brighton doesn’t automatically make you “not a homophobe”. There are plenty of them in this town sadly!
If they started the compliment off by saying I make them cringe then yes absolutely, he’s clearly on the wind up
And if they quoted Hitler to me or my family I definitely would
I do want to say Fuck Off but you're probably numb to that do a simple , why are insulting Spurs fans in this measured, every Scoucer is a comedian way? Or are you not a scoucer?
Well, want to hear something funny? I decided that I would sit down and watch the whole game without looking at the spoilers tonight. Probably won't make that choice again! 
Onto the game...
Kane looks unfit right now. I know he wants to scores goals for us, and that he got one tonight (largely gifted to him by Son's mazy touchline run), but he was not close to his normal self to me. He seemed to be much slower and more immobile than usual. His pressing was lethargic and he seemed slow getting forward after dropping very deep (too deep?) to collect the ball numerous times in the second half. I'd be willing to chalk it up to rustyness, but it's not like he was at his normal physical best and was just not executing. Also, the number of times he slipped while trying to shoot was worrying- I know the pitch was slippery, but it seemed very suspicious.
I really hope Kane is not rushing his return to try and chase the golden boot. It'd be awful to risk long-term injury for such a relatively small honor. I know he got a poachers goal and everything, but overall I think the team would have played better without him tonight. I'm really surprised he was the final sub as well- would have thought he would get yanked by 70', if not earlier. Please understand I say this all in the spirit of loving Kane, wanting him to be healthy, and wanting the club to win.
Sissoko was really poor in CM for me tonight. How many times did he give away the ball in the first 25'? It was pretty shocking really. It seemed like Lucas quickly got the idea to not pass the ball to him, and started going on solo missions down the right flank. Also, it was frustrating watch Sissoko give up the ball at various points and just stand and watch the game unfold 6-10 feet in front of him without moving to take up a position to receive even a back-pass. I really hope we can shore up midfield with some better talent this coming Summer. I don't think we can legitimately compete for the prem starting him too many games next year. Want the guy to do well as he is Spurs, but it just seems like it's not working out at all.
Obviously this game is probably meaningless, but we haven't locked up 4th properly yet and have a tendency to get ourselves into needless pressure situations. I really hope the team can take a breath, focus and resolve to get the CL spot locked down in earnest.

It's called being a Tottenham fan Mrs P. Most of us,definitely those of a certain age group are like that. Sometimes I envy other fans and their blind optimision.
It's another lesson, the players should have footwear to cope with it. Someone needs to asses things before kickoff and make the necessary changes... I know players don't want their studs caught as this can lead to injury but it was like they were playing on a skating rink
Apart from one through ball I felt sissoko was poor tonight. His control and passing in build up was gash, he's not a starter and plays a very different role when he comes on late. He can break play up and cover in defence but is awful pushing forward. I think the later subs have papered over the cracks... I would rather seem him moved on if I'm honest.
I know other players had a terrible game but apart from aurier they generally put in decent performances.
The core of our team and bench is solid but the summer is important. We need to be ruthless in our decisions

Yea, I was thinking the same thing- team needed to put on some longer cleats at halftime. BHA did not appear to be similarly encumbered. Part of me wonders if this was a deliberate strategy.
Complimenting us by quoting Hitler.....yeah nice one how dare Spurs fans react
Who the fuck scouted Aurier? The bloke is a liability and CANNOT defend (which is a tad worrying for a defender).
we're a bunch of bottlers.. FFS. Aurier?? are you kidding me, if Poch plays him against united we're screwed!
It's in our hands completely. Chelsea have 2 very tough games left with Burnley away and Liverpool at home, and the form Chelsea have shown this year I wouldn't bet on them winning both. If Burnley win tonight then we are 9 points clear of them with 4 games left and even after seeing how Spursy things have been in the past, there is no way we are losing 3 of our last 4 games. If Chelsea win then yeh, it's 5 points. Still, we'd have to lose 2 of our 4 remaining games.
I understand and appreciate people panic and have every right to be worried after seeing Spurs pre Poch days.. But please, don't do yourselves any damage. 5 weeks from now we could be looking back at the season after finishing 4th and winning the FA Cup.. Lets have some optimism!

Aurier started the season pretty well in my view, but he is a liability no two ways about it.
We could be seven points behind Utd tonight. Total idiocy
We were up against a well-drilled side fighting for survival. It was like the Alamo at times and whilst we weren't good, Brighton were solid and brave, credit to them.
Another game where we dominated possession to the point where all 11 BHA players were defending. Sometimes I'd like to see us invite the opposition on to us and have a few counters. I think we may have picked them off in that way as other than Izquierdo and Knockaert, they didn't have any pace.
Agreed on the Sissoko/Wanyama partnership stinking... it does. With Winks out, we could do with another Dembele cover, someone creative and tricky.
All these people saying we're going backwards... we're not. Last two years, Chelsea, United, Woolwich and the dippers have all finished outside top four and we haven't. I can't see how we will this year either.
Sure we need to replace Sissoko and Llorente, but we have a better squad than ever, revenue doubling infrastructure about to be built... things are good.

Usually when we aren’t up for it our ability will see us through, but it wasn’t there last night. Every single pass was behind the target, even passes from Eriksen
Dare I mention that Dele would have perhaps made a difference, running into their packed 18 yard box, loads of chances to get tripped, fouled or whatever.
All If's, buts and maybe's. Thought our midfield looked out of ideas and reminded me of how we used to be against a highly defensive team.
