Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Watched on Spurs TV – enjoyed the game. Coverage by Spurs TV went ok, no glitches or annoying Betting companies to deal with.
Spurs first half better than second disrupted by a lot of subs, but even then we could have scored a few more goals – Soldado, Townie and Cellabos missed some real hot chances.
Can Poch be the one that gets WHL rocking, I hope so.
The new boy 20yr old Eric Dier played really well with Kaboul. Holtby seems to be Poch’s pet atm, getting a lot of game time. Lamela and Eriksen need more time together but the revelation for me is Lennon – he is going ok as left sided player of midfield three behind Striker.
They scored one minute after subbing Kabs for Fryer and it was he who was at fault but can’t blame him for that with no time to adjust/swap with Dier.
Interesting Dawson, Mason and Capoue did not play – could all three be leaving this week ? Schneiderlin and Muscahhio could both be coming this week which is a good expression of ambition – ambition which Lloris wants to see.
This yr, this yr is our yr.

It was good fun; atmosphere was much better first half but the game itself was better second. People around me booing Naughton up in block 40, which is pathetic. I love Holtby; what an absolute legend. I am well excited for the start of the season now.
Anybody watch the BeInSport coverage in the U.S.? It was fucking brutal. The announcers continually referred to Holtby, Eriksen, and Kane all as "Holtby" because they all have the "same haircut" and "same bleached blond hair" (huh?). They said it will be interesting to see if Vertonghen fills in some at CB this season instead of his usual LB (this isn't Belgium). They couldn't even keep up with subs, and not to mention all the mispronounced names.

WFT. Where I come from you cheer for your team and players even if the janitor and the physio are playing. Period.
So sad to hear about Naughton's treatment. It's clear some/many Spurs fans want him out of the club, yet he's quite likely to play against West Ham.
I really despair about a lot of Spurs fans and their attitudes to our players.

Yes saw that. Was in East stand so a bit difficult to understand at the start but very funny from where we were.
Just watching game back now, seems Danny Rose had a good first half. Eriksen oddly quiet so far
Yeh defo, naughton made a lot of errors last season but as long as he gives 100% on the pitch You have to support him as with all spurs players.
More impressed with rose yesterday, last season I felt his attitude was wrong as if he could not care about his defensive duties, but yesterday he was a changed man.

Home now, so can fix that shitty photo (click for bigger)
Here's Dier, Davies and Vorm being unveiled with Poch
So generally, it was 'restricted' because the supports were in the way of the pitch, but to be honest it was a perfect view otherwise.
Shame it was full of "geezers" who only made a sound to say "who is that seb-a-loss?" or kids asking "whos that" every time a player touched the ball...
