Ten things I'd rather not see again...

1) Son at LWB
2) Trippier at LWB
3) Sissoko at RWB
4) In general, non-wing backs playing as wing backs
5) Bringing on Llorente and then not crossing the ball to him for 20 minutes
6) Mike Dean
7) Dele not playing to the whistle
8) Davinson doing that odd non-tackle half-hearted push thing he did
9) Hugo hitting clearances to opposition attackers
10) Mike Dean again
This is all fine, but lay off Deano. He can't make it too obvious.

But yes 1 of the 3 penalties today would have been fine, thanks.
 
You know what Mick I dont give a toss for the hardships of a 20 year old multi millionaire lying in the grass flapping his arms around like a baby because the opposition wont pull their pants down and left him shaft them up the batty with bicycle kicks and fairy flicks.

I dont like sulkers, I like players who (regardless of ability) battle and play their heart out for their team mates and their club. When Dele gets back to that lad who had something to prove, I will praise him again.

The half hearted version who thinks he's Neymar can do one
But you don't want him binned, right? :dembelelol:
 
I cant stand this ridiculous notion that people have to wait another ten weeks before they decide whether we were shit today......if we turn into Spurs 61 between now and Christmas, Dele was still shit today. We were still drab and lack lustre today.

Next week or last season has fuck all bearing on todays game....and its TODAY that people are pissed off. Its not rocket science.


Why even bother responding to lefty ,fascist WUM's ?

Typical fucking lefty fascist tactics, they give anyone who thinks different to them a derogatory label and think that wins them the discussion.

Don't agree with them and you're a phobe or ist of some sort , on here it's the pathetic melt, the melt insult was given out so soon today by that cunt @Smoked Salmon,that he obviously didn't even watch the game.

Give them an insulting name back, suckers, they will suck up anything and everything and call it good, they don't wish to think or see what's in front of them, they are good little suckers.

This post is brilliant.
 
Correct.. we've won 6 FA cups and 4 league cups at Wembley.. all this hoodoo is bollocks.
Yea but did you know that up through 2008 every Spurs squad member was REQUIRED to have a rabbits foot in his pocket at Wembley.

Levy thought it was a good way to cut costs, so he didn't renew the annual purchase. And now it's costing us something else...points.

:levystare:
 
Well maybe the fans who actually went who you are cunting off for leaving early had reasons to leave early...
unless you actually get your ass to Wembley don't complain about fans for leaving early, it's simple really!

You know fans that are making it should be staying until the end. If you honestly think they had to leave 10 minutes earlier because they had other things to do it's a flimsy argument. I won't go into the reasons why I'm unable to make it at the moment as they are not for this forum but the masses of people unable to stay and cheer the team on in a crucial ten minutes didn't leave a good taste in the mouth. If I was able to attend games I can guarantee you that wouldn't be what I'd be doing so

Well you don't attend, and until you do, kindly keep your comments about those who do to yourself! :deledoubt:
 
Bit of a shit show no doubt about it.

Let's not forget we gave a lot on Wednesday in a very tough game.
Let's also not forget that Swansea played some of the most anti-football I've ever seen. I'm getting sick of paying good money to watch a game of football but only one team has any intention of playing football. What a boring bunch of fucks they are.
Mike dean was never going to give a pen today as he's been critised for helping us in the past. At least one was stonewall.

Team was set up wrong today but we still had enough to beat that shower of shit. One goal would have lead to a few more.

Had to have a read of the match comments from here on the train and had a few shakes of the head.
Not because of the comments about the game, most were justified.
What fucks me off the most is when people comment on how embarrassing our fans are.
" look at all the empty seats, it's embarrassing" - Well buy a fucking ticket and occupy one of those empty seats.

" Our fans are so quiet it's embarrassing" well go and buy yourselves a ticket and come to the game and sing your heart out and show us how it's fucking done.

" fans leaving early is embarrassing" - Well go and buy yourself a ticket, sing your heart out and stay till the fucking end.
Don't slag off those who go and support the team.
There were 66k there today, don't forget our railway stations are on critical alert and another terrorist attack is imminent.
Takes bottle for people to get on a train knowing their lives could be in danger.

Our support is not embarrassing it's top notch, we are in a temporary stadium and not many have taken to it but still turn out every week.

I'm not one of these people who thinks I'm a better fan because I go to games but it does boil my piss when people watching the game on some shit Iranian stream critises the fans that spend a fortune following our club.

Spot on, we all know Wembley is a pain but to get over 60k against Swansea was a good turn out and I thought the vocal support today was no worse than if we had played them at WHL.

I have only left early when we have been getting a hiding, but I can understand people getting away early from Wembley, it's a pain to get away from.

Takes me 2 hours to get home from Wembley, also takes me 2 hours to get there so that is 4 hours just travelling, so if I want to leave 5 minutes early I will, btw I left at full time today, I rarely leave early but I understand those who do!

Exactly Mate,

There was a subdued feeling around all the underground stations today, people felt very nervous, fair play to everyone that still turned out and as you asaid, Swansea are not the most attractive side to draw everyone in..

I wonder how many parents who were due to bring their kids today, stayed away because of the security threat.
I wish people would think before making comments.

I don't leave early and never like those that do. But Wembley is very difficult to get home from after a game. In some ways harder for many than WHL. Some are there with the elderly or young children. They're not all twenty or thirtysomething lads. I may not do it myself, but I understand that sometimes there might be a valid reason for someone to try and beat the rush. I think that Fattynomates Fattynomates is on point that you can't really criticise those who have made the effort to go if you choose not to. That is assuming you don't go to games.

Im not going to bother getting into this. I'm entitled to my opinion on it and it was sad to see the fans that are able to attend leaving so early when it was 0-0

I've been a regular down the lane for years so please do not think I don't attend or question my loyalty whenever I'm able to do so at present (the last game I was able to was Burnley at home) with comments like that. We all want to see our team do well so why leave with ten minutes left, especially with it being 0-0 if you were able to attend the game. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Still, up the Spurs and no offence or harm intended. Let's hope the seasons a memorable one

Quite right, it didn't put me off or my boy and his mate but I can understand people thinking twice about it.

Personally the buzz is not quite the same going to Wembley and I can not wait until next season but that's forgotten as soon as the match begins.

The guy next to me made a good point about the swans fans being quiet tonight, couple of songs in the first half then a cheer at full time, I think Wembley is simply to big to generate an atmosphere like WHL
 
Dele has been got at.. His body language is different and he's getting stroppy.

Barca and Real want him and it's starting to show.
Hope I'm wrong but the writings on the wall I believe.

I'm not sure. 2nd half me and the boy watched him alone for about 15 mins. It's a habit of mine as I'm going for my B license and players off the ball is a big thing....

His movement was great but Swansea always had a back 5 and 3 in front. Amount of times he came deep to get the ball and then made a great run but no ball came in in that 15 min spell was a lot.

Not his fault.

I think he was annoyed and like Kane and Eriksen totally outnumbered in the middle.

He's still young and learning but I don't think he's showing a lack of effort. More a lack of nous in these situations where there is literally no space to play in.

He should have been stuck out wide left IMHO as he looked good when 1v1 or even 1v2.

Are you bi-polar?
Is everything in your world either wonderful or total shite?
Probably explains why you can be a good poster or the producer of some abject nonsense.
