Yes....the set of circumstances that suit you perfectly, but make evreyone else a disgrace
How convenient
If you can't objectively see the difference between leaving that City game a few mins early and leaving that Juve game around the 80 min mark when extra-time was always a possibility then I give up. I can get fans leaving early when a result is pretty much dead, but when it's in the balance then I just don't get it and would never leave early myself. Where do you stand on the whole leaving early thing?
I dont stand anywhere on it, some leave early, some dont, its not my problem. Ive never left early, but I get that people do. I dont agree that people who left yesterday were a disgrace, nor do I think those who left Juve were a disgrace.
I know people who left the Scum 4-4 game early, and it was horrible to see us equalise with about ten people left in the away end. Their loss.
Fair enough. Maybe disgrace for those Juve leavers is too strong a word - it's just something I can't get my head around, leaving when the game/result isn't done, so it frustrates/disappoints me. Equally, I can understand why many left early yesterday so just bristled when some on here said it was shameful and everyone should have masochistically stayed til the bitter end otherwise they weren't real fans.
I have only left early once. It was in October/November 1980. A home match v WBA with Ardiles and Villa playing. We were worse than crap If that is possible and 3-0 down at half time. I gave it 15 more mins and it was no better and left 30 mins before the end. Not to get home early but because I could not face watching it any more. Gary Brooke came on as sub for Villa and inspired a comeback after I left and we lost 2-3. This was around 6 months before our famous FA Cup win over City. There was no way any one watching the WBA match would have forecast that or Villa who was awful against WBA scoring such a winner. Never left early since although have turned TV off in disgust when we were being hammered in the AVB dark days. I am not a ST holder and when I go I want to see the whole match. Not miss the beginning of the 2nd half because I want a drink or miss the end because I want to get ahead of others leaving.
I agree that in the closing stages it was unlikely we would have pulled 2 goals back but if the players had any chance they needed the crowd behind them and all you could see on TV was hundreds of empty seats. That was what the disillusioned Spammers fans did recently but this was not the case here. Sends out the wrong message when done in such large numbers.

I thought the reported situation with Subs was strange. I heard I think on Sky that Llorente had family emergency and the club had to get hold of Sterling to get to Wembley to be sub. Maybe it was because Poch wanted a striker but surely we have more than 18 players at the ground to cover last minute withdrawals. In the past we have had 2 sub GK's because we did not have anyone else. Just sounds unprofessional. Toby was available and yet presumably given day off? He is being paid and could have sat on the bench. Foyth? Did Poch seriously believe there wold be a circumstance where he would use Sterling re the champions?
Totally agree. I expect my parents remained past the final whistle but only because they are in their 70s and aren't in the condition to beat the rush. It's a 2hr+ trip home for them, if they are feeling it and want to leave early then they should be able too.
As a Liverpool fan I think Spurs have been brilliant to watch this season. I watched the City game on TV and thought it was their poorest display of the season. Leaving Son out seemed a strange decision but then again who am I to argue with Pochetino. Harry Kane was invisible as well. Maybe it was just one of those games that every team had during the season.

You know when you disagree with my posts and call me clueless, how does it make you feel when your view is vastly outnumbered by people agreeing with me?
Are they also all clueless cunts?
Or is it that your opinions are not as popular as you would like to believe.
Sammy I don’t regard this forum as a sort of competition as to who gets more likes, smiles or agreements
But some posters do and you are clearly one of them
And you have the temerity to accuse me of posting like a teenager!!
I don’t agree that people vastly outnumber me in my views as opposed to yours but then again I don’t care if they do
If I have an opinion I will express it regardless which is my right as this is a public forum
Just because you now have the backing of the self appointed Forum policeman and a fellow drunk won’t change things
So grow up, keep posting and if I disagree with you then I will say so
But at least I’ll give you credit for explaining why you disagree unlike the likes of Carlos who just gives blanket disagrees without having the guts to explain why
COYS
You should have said that Kane was outstanding
Better than lighting blue touch paper on here with some like Sammy
But it seemed sense starting Coco to unsettle De Bruyne
What puzzled me was that he didn’t do that and played wide
Kane’s goal or daughter etc were irrelevant imv
We all thought he was the ‘Bees Knees’ a few months ago and several of us advocated paying him more
Not interested in anything other than Spurs talk
Ha ha that’s rich. I just logged on to find 32 disagrees from you, and not a word of explanation you ridiculous old hypocrite.
I get the same from him - another sad multi
Agreed.I have never said that in all my 50 years on this planet.
Disgraceful
decent article? or is it another media yapping
Tottenham analysis: Tactics backfire; Lloris lacklustre; Sanchez sinks
Pochettino’s surprising call
This is not the first time we have said it, but Mauricio Pochettino’s desperation to get Erik Lamela into his team is puzzling.
Lamela’s work-rate is impressive and, defensively, he offers more than Heung-min Son. Yet Son has 30 Premier League goals in his career; Lamela just eight.

Ask the Manchester City defenders - or any defenders, for that matter - whether they would rather mark Lamela or Son, and few would choose to face the South Korean.
Sure enough, Lamela was impressive only in flashes and it was no surprise when he was brought off in the 64th minute, with Son’s arrival greeted by huge cheers from the home supporters.
