OT: Great that these fans were allowed to be in London!
The Eintracht Frankfurt game against SSC Napoli should take place without our fans.
The Italian Minister of the Interior (probably coming from Naples himself) wants to decree that SSC Naples may not sell any tickets to fans of Eintracht Frankfurt, not even from the official guest ticket area. The fans of ours should be forbidden to come to the city.
Some court will probably decide in weeks or months - as against Marseille - that this is not legal.
But then it's too late again.
UEFA wants to wait until the order is official, saying nothing can be done.
Whether it affects us or other fans who - who have already paid for flights and tickets - are affected.
This should be dealt with rigorously.
Suspension for the club, game on a neutral pitch with or without spectators, game with the opponent - in this case again in Frankfurt - or exclusion from the competition.
I'm sorry, you've probably all been informed by now, but I wanted to get this out of the way again.
They’re all terrible in Italian restaurants!
Absolutely this, he needs to do the business before he mouths off, if he thinks he should be playing instead of Son and Kulu (who have been poor) then he needs to be better.
Well I was a bit less tolerant and gave them plenty of verbal abuse.
Cashed out on 90 just before the Kane header
I was way off on that, didn't even get any huffing and puffing!
I kept hovering over cash out every time they broke. But when we had possession i knew it wouldn’t amount to anything
I have painfully deep dived the game for ratings purposes and noted 2 penalty shouts. One hand ball which hit an outstretched arm in their box and a contact challenge on Sanchez ( the useless sub according to some ). Sanchez was caught but not deemed with enough force!!
It was suggested by the Spurs commentator that Sanchez may have been brought on to get Porro further up the pitch, which
makes sense plus Sanchez had a pen shout straight away so maybe not as dumb a sub as suggested. !!
I counted 26 attacks by us, some leading to failed attempts on goal but most delivered badly into the box. I counted only those in and around their box that were threatening if executed properly . Only Hojbjerg and Kane had decent attempts.
As Kane implied and has been said....our quality in attack was poor. But the opportunities were created in the danger area.
Romero got away with a potential second yellow before his sending off when he put his hand in a Milan players face and kind of dragged it down.
That was Romeros 3rd sending off under Conte.
Richarlison did very little in his brief appearance but did manage an assault on their keeper he was lucky to get away with.

But please don't appoint a sticking plaster manager to paper over the cracks....ie poch
Probably not but it would just be papering over the cracks....again!
TBH if you wake up needing to listen to Dido, you've got more to worry about than football.
If she was playing when i woke up, i'd go back to sleep.
Watched with boy. Broken hearted. Not so much with the result, as the limp dick display. I hate having a go at anything Spurs (Feels dirty somehow), but Conte should now be gone. Something wrong in the dressing room (probably the keep picking out of form players).
I have no problem with a defence first system , but it aint us.
I would thank Conte for his efforts ( end of last season was great), but his non commitment has, imo, undermined us all season. Also , persisting with Son, who has become shit sacred of physical contact since the broken eye socket, showed a side of Conte I dont like. Im all for loyalty to a player, but if it diminishes the whole, then its a bad call.
Players are hiding or over thinking, making everything laboured. That is on the guvnor.
My love for this club is being seriously tested.

Exactly this.
I distinctly remember people in here complaining there were no patterns of play under Nuno and Jose.
We have gone to the other extreme now. Everything is so structured, rigid that the players are basically robots. There's no creativity, improvisation, flair, variation. It's literally rinse and repeat.
Classic example is when we have a set piece everyone goes up, the ball got cleared and Emerson who was last man back went to retrieve it. Instead of getting it back forward again, he held on to it and waited for all our players to back into their positions. At the same time Milan just got into their shape and made it impossible for us to get through them again.
It's so frustrating, it's happened all season. If you decide to watch the forest game then make a note of this when it happens.
Players seems to be under instruction that we have to reset and start from the back everytime we win possession back. This is part of the reason why it's turgid. No one seems to be allowed to play a first time ball forward. Whether they are capable of doing so is a different question. The fact of the matter is that we don't even attempt to play that type of forward, quick pass.
Sorry mate, after that game my sense of humour had evaporated.. I didn't pick up on the sarcasm.
This club of ours has a lot to fucking answer for
Posting xG bollocks?
Doesn't understand something simple ^
Tell me oh wise one, what would your xG bollocks have looked like had Kane scored that almost last minute header?
There's no point, it's only going to confuse you as numbers seem to do.
