Really refreshing way of doing the highlights isn’t it. Made me truly relive the game and would expect people who weren’t there get a much better idea of what it was like in person.That was brilliant, love the style of that.
Absolutely, do they do that for every game, or do they just pick special games/those with atmosphere?Really refreshing way of doing the highlights isn’t it. Made me truly relive the game and would expect people who weren’t there get a much better idea of what it was like in person.

"Strange selection choices last night, was at the game and we looked so slow in our play and our tempo only started to increase when KDB and Sane came on, Mahrez can't cope with playing at a big club - the amount of times he cut back inside onto his left and his final delivery is poor. Does anyone know why Sane isn't playing? He'c clearly not been rested but dropped and unfortunately I love Silva, but finally I think time is catching up on the magician. Think we'll win at the Etihad....but we need to score 3 as I can see Spurs scoring. The stadium FYI is incredible, the home fans created a hostile atmosphere, completely drowned our chants"
...not the biggest fan of Winks, but tbf he had one of his best performances last night - not dawdling on the ball, looking to distribute forward, tracking back, and tackling at another level...

No idea mate first time I’ve ever seen it from them and looks to be only the second game they’ve done it for but not the foggiestAbsolutely, do they do that for every game, or do they just pick special games/those with atmosphere?
I think one of the pivotal moments in deciding the outcome of this game was when I upgraded the forum.
Is the top bit a quote from Poch or do you suspect the players review your messages and act accordingly, because you're so knowledgable? An opposition supporter praises our new stadium and vocal support and you call it sycophantic shit. Fucking dumb arse.Game won. Now into history. Players need to enjoy glow for today and then move on.
Sycophantic sh!t.
Saw his stats on Twitter, incredible work from him....not the biggest fan of Winks, but tbf he had one of his best performances last night - not dawdling on the ball, looking to distribute forward, tracking back, and tackling at another level...

Shame the stewards got heavy handed with our fans
Cheers Bluedog. The away tie will be like a re-run of the Alamo , let's hope the defensive performance of yesterday is repeated next week. Looking for you guys to do a job on Woolwich and Chelski on our behalf. We'd be ever so grateful, and even more grateful if you'll let us take Jan Tielemans off your hands at the end of the season!Well done Spurs lads. A recent conundrum seems to be that you play better with HK on the pitch but achieve better results when he isn't.
Was driving last night so didn't see the game but it sounded fabulous on 5Live. I thought Sutton was going to implode - he seems to like you lot immensely, which is saying something as up to now I wasn't aware that he liked anyone or anything.
My guess is that the next leg will be really tough but certainly do-able - and after that - well, football is capable of throwing up complete underdogs who win the biggest prizes..(cough, cough).
Seriously though, I think you have a real chance now. Hope you do it.

Perhaps someone else have them handy?

You're still in with a shout for Europa League qualification (my sympathies!) so there's hopefully none of the 'already on the beach' syndrome from your boys. As for Tielemans, unfortunately for Leicester I reckon the 'shop window' he's been given will attract some bigger boys with deeper pockets. If we can qualify for the Champions League next season there's no reason for us to not to be in with a shotWould love to help you out, particularly against Woolwich - and as their away form is so poor I'm feeling good about that one.
Re Tielemans - what a player. Early days but all signs point to him being the real deal. We're all praying that we can land him - he seems happy and has been making positive noises, but can't help feeling that his head might be turned. It would be understandable if it was - but he's slotted right into a really young side and the body language all reads well. Whoever does get him has something to get excited about.
