That ball to Paulinho was absolutely excellent. If Guzan wasn't one of the best in the prem that would have been a beautiful goal.

Thoughts on Lennon on the left?
Pretty invisible for the most part , although near the end we attacked solely on the right through Townsend. I think AVB was just giving him a test out there ( that and he probably didn't want to move Townsend from the right to the left because he was doing well).
Hoping to see Lamela given another try on the left next match.

so Spursey for people to have a go at someone who scored a crucial 2nd goal, as we all know we never let a goal lead slip away, do we! Lineker never did much else apart from score goals!
Im not having a go, Im being critical of his game.
I remember people slating Defoe, because he "only scores goals", and people slating Ade because "he's a lazy gooner".....Im not slating Soldado.
I would simply like to see more from him. Yes, it was a great goal. No, he didnt do much else.
:soldadowatch:
on a different note from this game, is it only me that thinks the smoke bomb wasn't that bad, yes it hit a lino, but it was an accident and from what i heard the person who threw it wasn't the person who set it off, and is smoke bombs such a bad thing? just a bit of pyro, loads of tottenham fans getting all arsey and on their high horse about it, and these are the sort of people who 2 months later will be all ' football's expensive #AMF'
It hit the linesman in the back of the neck. What if it had been in his face instead? What if it had hit a player?
It's also, whether people like it or not, a fire hazard if people are making their own at home. After previous stadium fires it's hardly a surprise that clubs are reluctant to endorse such a practice.
Whatever way you look at it it's a risk. I love the look of those grand European and South American fixtures with their colours and smoke bombs, but fully understand the argument against it.
I understand the argument against it, i do, but footballs just going to get less fanbased the more we just give in like this, and if you're going to be all AMF one minute, then don't get arsey over a smoke bomb, and you could say what if that, what if this, that didn't happen, plus it wouldn't of set fire to anything because it's a bloody smoke bomb, not a flare
exactly, that's what i said, the person who threw it was trying to get it out the stand, spurs fans calling him 'a cunt' just show's how quickly we like to turn on our own
So it's impossible to be AMF if you don't 100% support smoke bombs?
That's cobblers mate.
so what other ways would you say are 'AMF'? Smoke Bombs bring colour to a stand, and sometimes then can get fans going, to improve atmosphere, it's a way of protest against growing ticket prices, just saying, everyone's got an opinion and i respect yours, i know not everyones going to look at it the way i do, but that's how i see it
i mean look at this
ajax supporters yesterday
Just a quick thought sandro was ace today. If he started against west ham we wouldn't of lost that game

Makes me laugh, FA investigating the smoke bomb threw, yet when West ham threw a smoke bomb right into the disabled section of WHL, absolute nothing, they actually got praised, fucking bent football association, this is why we throw flares, because even if we wasn't to you'd find some otherway to crucify us
Crowds who sit quietly and don't get behind the team. Clubs driven by money at the expense of fans.
How is a smoke bomb a protest against ticket prices? There's no logic to that. Not attending games.That's a protest. Banner, that's a protest. Pickets outside the ground, that's a protest. Chants against commercialism, that's a protest. A smoke bomb is not.
Like I said above, I do very much like how it looks. But I understand and agree with the counter arguments because the aesthetic beauty of it isn't enough to justify it in my opinion. There are kids in these stands FFS. If there's even a small risk that smoke bombs can endanger them then they aren't a good idea. Full stop. There are other ways to combat the commercialism of the game.
it's a protest against police, clubs and ticket prices, giving the fan a voice, and having a bit of fun, everything clubs don't seem to want you to do at football matches anymore, yes they're all good ideas, but banners never work the club just ignores you and if we to not attend games we'd get called bad fans, and protests are just ignored and alot of the time people don't bother with them anyway, so basically the only way we can get a voice is through in the ground activities
