A good little cunt off during the match is always fun especially when the team is playing poorly.

Agree Joe. I don't even bother reading the match threads on my way back from the game any more, they used to be fun and funny but now they're unbearable. Like Bill says, most of it is just unpleasant.
The biggest blind-side is the analysis-from-watching-the-telly, which Dier seems to suffers the most from - you just don't see the work or the positions off the ball.
It's probably just me being an old git. Most of the rest of TFC is still a laugh.
So true. TV watchers think they’re seeing the whole game, but they’re not. There was a massive argument on here a few years back about ‘live’ vs TV and I was astonished at the amount of people who thought TV was the superior viewing platform (I suspect from folks who’d never attended a game).
It’s even better in Canada, I use DAZN and they allow you to have 2-users on the same account, it costs $20 a month so $10 each as I split it with my son, that’s about £6 a month for every PL game and the CL games are included.
All 11 men behind the ball at once come the 72nd minute.....none shall pass!!
Don't come back until you've improved your attitude you obnoxious little bastard
I watched the Bournemouth game on NBSCN and the only problem was Dixon commentating banging on about the Scum’s new manager
Dick
Yeah fuck that. He went on for about 15 minutes. You could tell the commentator (after asking him the question) was dying for him to shut up.
So what's the score predictions then? I reckon we will win 3-2.
I've a weird feeling we smash them up they fire Ole off the back of it thus ushering in the arrival of the Pochettino era....
TV is great for replays and seeing what really happened in the important moments in a game. Amount of times I get messages from my sister during a Sky game saying that was a penalty, not a foul etc.
But TV really doesn’t give a good indication of the speed/intensity of the game and all the positional play and off the ball work (as someone else has mentioned).
It’s why I prefer a slightly higher view at the ground. Can really see the game play out in front of you that pitch level you struggle with.
So don’t want to offend people who don’t / can’t go to games but you really can’t compare that to watching a game at the stadium in real time.
It’s why journalists / commentators go to games rather than just putting the TV on.
What a prick you are.
He doesnt have rants though he gets personal and speaks as if everything he says is fact-has a superiority complex-app no one else is qualified to support spurs.
I have had him on ignore for weeks and not for the first time - I have never seen someone so hell bent on seeking out cunt offs in my life.
I showed the ignored content to see why the red card and low and behold we are in a cesspit and EVERYONE is a cunt.
Nah mate sorry, stay away and every CUNT on here will have a better forum experience more like.
Totally agree with everything here esp the last paragraph, people want to be seen to be a supporter instead of watching or actively supporting the club-its like sharing pics of holidays to every wanker youve ever met on FB or whatever, you aren't on holiday enjoying yourself, putting the device down and relaxing, you want to show everyone you are on holiday and how class you are.
This incessant need for online cred and attention is vile.
Can only get to a game once or twice every year or so. At best.
TV has become my only option..
Tried watching games down under at ridiculous hours like 2, and 3 am with TFC forum open and can't do it. Only upside for me is that over the past few years my tv's has grown exponentially in size and quality, and now cover 3 rooms.
I do though enjoy the game threads AFTER the game, although getting through some of the cu... offs take time.
Nothing beats being at a game, and the less you are able to experience it, the more you appreciate each visit.

Having watch Spurs over the last few weeks; I expect the tactics by United will be as follows
1. Close down Toby. Don't allow him time on the ball to pass from the back. Try to force the center backs to play side ways to the full backs; keeping them from moving forward.
2. I expect a high press from united to panic our midfield. Dier/Winks (or ndombele) closed down quickly.
3. Don't let Dele be an option. Crowd him out and cut off the passing lanes.
4. Man mark Kane, force him to drop deep to get the ball.
5. With the marking of Kane and Dele; it's likely that Son will have a lot more time on the ball. Full backs to not allow him to cut inside. Force him down the wing.
I think the game will boil down to how capable (and fit) United players are at pressing our defence. If we are allowed to play the ball out and structure our attack; we should win this one. Mourinho will know their players and be well aware of their weaknesses and it will be down to the ability of our lads to execute his plan.
United 0 - 1 Spurs (Eriksen 23)
A predict a narrow win for us. With Jose playing it safe after getting an early goal.
