i think arcspace and igula immigrated thereTwitter is full of cunts - I hear some of them don't even support Spurs.
Keane, Carragher and souness always give it tight to spurs - they have two things in common - they are all total winners and... they all have a soft spot for spurs! Keanes childhood team, souness first team, and not sure why Carragher has a soft spot for us but he has admitted it multiple times.Jamie Carragher, awful commentator, horrible human being, total bias against us today on Sky, they hated seeing us win.
Calm down mate, it's a marathon not a sprint...
Mate, seriously. He didn't "stop" him, Richarlison had already passed the ball. It wasn't a tackle, it was a premeditated foul. It could be construed as dangerous foul play, which is a Red card offence.Yeah try doing that against Sergio Ramos or John Terry or Nesta, see how they react. Do they have pathetically weak characters, or are they just competitors who know that you can't start letting attacking players showboat or 'express themselves' when your job is to stop them.
Dunno why our fans are crying over this. The defender didn't two foot him or try and break his legs, he just stopped him. You see worse tackles every single game at any level, this isn't fucking netball for god sake.
For all the abuse he gets from certain quarters , he can’t be doing so bad . Fair play to him for hanging in thereSpecial shout out to Sanchez.. What's that now, 7 games without conceding a goal? he's becoming a top defender.
I agree. Theres nothing wrong with disrespect anyway. If they get wound up yhey can either show quality to shove it back in our faces or they can do what they did and risk getting a red. Richarlison broke no rules, he is allowed to wind the oppo up.The more I watch it the more amazed I am by the attitude of some of our fans. He's not facing anyone, he's not mocking a specific opponent, he's not in a dangerous position, and he doesn't hold on to the ball and do it for ages until someone takes him out - he does what, 3 keepy-uppies, then lays it off? And yet some of our fans, actual Spurs fans (allegedly), think he is wrong to do that and deserved to get taken out.

I'm not one of those that wants the game to be diluted in the way it has been, there's a beauty in a well timed tackle that cleans the player out when the ball is won, but it's about winning the ball.
If you take a player out when the ball is nowhere near him, that's not a contact sport, it's petulance.
On the train back from Nottingham. Quite enjoyed going back to the City Ground. Last goal I saw there was Steffen Iversen in 1999! It’s a decent stadium with a bit of old school character and a pretty good atmosphere… albeit shocking sight lines in the away end.
Not the best game but we stuck it out. Sharpness lacking but that will improve. I’d say the same off the pitch too as we were a bit flat at times but finished well.
Forest threw absolutely everything at us. I haven’t seen a club as up for this game in some time. Quite funny that we killed off their initial euphoria so early. But they put the pressure on at times throughout so a good test of resilience overall.
My pleasure at returning to the ground is not reflected in my feeling towards their fans. Muggy comments from almost every one who passed by. Not so much chips on their shoulders as whole bloody rainforests.
Midlands fans… as pointless and bitter as their god awful region.
:contefacepalm:
That's Steve Cooper for you.Credit where it is due. Just read this on bbc…
Nottingham Forest’s starting XI for this game was made up of players who were all British, the first entirely UK starting XI for a Premier League game since Blackpool’s against Manchester United in May 2011.
Yes??Whereas this place of course is full of high-intellect football geniuses...
Very underrated. Certainly not flawless by any stretch but he's hardly another Gardner.For all the abuse he gets from certain quarters , he can’t be doing so bad . Fair play to him for hanging in there
I think his dad has had a word , to STFU !Jamie Redknapp actually praising us and our current ambition, and backing Kane to stay.
He stopped him from wanting to showboat. I don't get how it was dangerous foul play and apparently nor did the referee or VAR team who didn't even give it a check.
And yes, its petulance. I'm not agreeing with it, I'm saying it's to be expected & I reckon Romero (or some of our other players) react in the same way, so I'm not about to pearl clutch over it. Richarlison is a player who loves winding teams up & who has gone in hard and dangerous on other players more than once.
We've got players who play on the edge & do questionable things sometimes so I'm not gonna cry over a bit of the same back .. nobody was outraged when Romero dragged Cucurella down by his hair last week.
