Subjectively they may not be better than us, but they have the best defensive record in the league by some distance. Two of their defenders walk straight into our team. One of which used to be ours.

If your day has been just too relaxed thus far and you need to feel the anger rise in you, I suggest you look at the comments below this piss-poor match report by bitter little West Ham fan Jacob Steinberg.
I want to smash the majority of the commenters into tiny pieces, and when I'm done with that, I'll go back to the start and smash them into even smaller ones...
Harry Kane equals Spurs’ all-time scoring record in win at Fulham
Most of them are probably Africans or kids who don't realise football existed before 1992 and more to the point, Tottenham have actually won a lot, just a long time ago.
There are "fans" who genuinely believe we haven't actually won anything.
When we win games it’s because we have Kane and he scores goals other strikers don’t. The system still wasn’t/isn’t functioning.
3 points was all that really mattered here but we didn’t really see major signs of improvement. We remain the Harry Kane team who allow any team of quality to control matches.
I never feel comfortable when we have a streak of scraping wins, as it always seems much more likely to me that we will begin to concede more/stop scoring the odd goal that is winning matches, than pick up confidence and start winning comfortably.
Feels like it's been about 4 years now of waiting for performances to click!
I don’t know really. I’d just like us to go on a good run of wins by hook or by crook.

Yeah, we strain ourselves to secure 3 points against the likes of Fulham and Brentford and never manage to get a result against anyone above us on the table.
The quality of play simply doesn't match a CL tier team.
And would help further if he was made captain
He was good for his own standards yes and once again gave 100% as did the rest of the team during the second half as they seemed determined to hang on to the three points
So a pleasing performance overall
I don't know, his prematch talks on All of Nothing were a bit... well... a bit
Not a clever cunt then?
But maybe he’s matured since then especially after the fiasco with Shitty

Why bring up a possible move to ‘United ‘?
Does he mean WHU?
LOL
When the Man City fans started singing "have you ever seen Tottenham win the league", I told a little white lie and shouted across I have!!! Although I was alive in '61, I was a five year old in Malta then and didn't even know what football was. But they didn't need to know that and it shut a couple of them up too!
Its a good job they were far away Mrs P, if they were any closer they would have known you look far to young to be telling the truth!When the Man City fans started singing "have you ever seen Tottenham win the league", I told a little white lie and shouted across I have!!!

Who, exactly, is the goal expecter? It's Mike Dean, isn't it?
I've been looking at the basis for xG and while I can see some value in the broad scope (i.e. a whole season), it's useless for single games.
It's just another way of saying what we all see, just keeping better track of it over time. Once you start applying it to individual/few cases, you're totally missing the point of this kind of stat (and interpretative stats in general). But I guess it plays into the 'authority' role that the stats providers like Opta crave.
The last bit about Juve is on-point. i.e. xG is 'wrong' until enough games have been played.
Note that they never say who, what or how they decide? Just some broad explanation of what is a good or bad chance. It's Mike F. Dean. I swear to god.
He's a decent RB in a more defensive role back 4. Unfortunately how we play doesn't fit his strengths at all.
Hopefully he can be moved to a team where his defensive strengths can be utilized
A win last night wasn’t what I expected and so pleased to be wrong. More importantly (for me) the players put a shift in a were gritty. After some pretty pathetic performances at times this season they showed, to me at least that they are still with Conte.
January is a difficult month for transfers but the board should really try to help him now. If not does it say they don’t expect him to stay beyond the end of the season? Maybe…

Don't even need to click on the video to tell you that it is absolute nonsense, based entirely on the nonce with the shit 'tache presenting it...
I bet he writes for t'Athletic too.
