I love this man...and guess who he loves back?

Dele Alli?
your name is Rufio...
Blinding performance and even better result. Although I am of the mind that the Result is Everything, when we play as well as we did today, there is nothing that beats the feeling of coming out on top on a team everyone expects to bowl us over. TBH, I don't give a toss what anybody says/writes about us, they can go and swizzle for all I care. As long as we can keep this going, they will just have to eat their words. I was unable to pick a MOTM, that was a complete team performance and everybody deserves a huge pat on the back.
Only jarring thing for me was the battle between Son & Lamela to take the penalty, it was right in front of me and that's the first time I've seen our players turn on each other - Poch needs to ensure that it doesn't happen again - why on earth wasn't it agreed before the match started, for pete's sake. This is when having a keeper for captain is a disadvantage - an outfielder would have nipped it in the bud.
Thought the ref was a disgrace, poor Danny was kicked so often and he gave him no protection whatsover. Also, two of theirs were kicking Dele on the ankle, right in front of the ref, they were doing everything to get him to bite, thank goodness both of them kept their cool.
Apart from the result, how great to see Mr P looking so well at half time (if you were at the game, you might have heard me scream!). Not only that, on the way home, I saw him and Tony Galvin on the High Street, just by the building site for the new ground. Managed to say hello and shake both their hands (might have gone for a photo but I was eating chips at the time and stinking of vinegar!).

This team now has a defence that can win a Trophy, defensive midfielders who fear no man, and a forward line that interacts like a well oiled machine.
Take the high press out of this system and the last time i saw a team play this fluently Bob Paisley was their manager. I truly think that if Poch can hold onto this young teams coat tails, then we can turn any team in the PL over this season. Injuries aside we are that good.
After the game Zabaleta and Pep looked and sounded totally dazed and confused. That is one thing i'd thought i'd never witness from a Spurs post game interview from a player and Manager of the opposing team.

Tony Evans is a blinkered scouse cunt who can't acknowledge a good team when he sees one - the mentality comment is just his way of trying to ignore the fact that we are/might be a threat. What a tosser !
He was actually very complimentary about us last year but seeing as his beloved Pool are "tipped" he has certainly changed his tune. He is coming out with some strange stuff. Put simply its pressure, his arsehole is quivering like a rabbits nose.

John Stones is going to be a bloody good defender. Hope he gets a move to a big club soon.
I've warned you before, Mrs P.
I know you're excited, but this is no place for that type of language....
So much disrespect from the cunts in the MOTD2 studio. I'll include baby faced assassin Jenas in that too - his Wanyama comment was fucken ridiculous. Saying Wanyama hasn't really settled in and that this is the good performance us fans have been waiting for. Wtf - Wanyama has been one of our best players this season. Fucken Ian Wright too, praise through gritted teeth. Stupid lookin unit
League and European cup. I won't settle for less from this Spurs squad. Wonder what odds I'll get
And that fucking nasal-y cunt, "chappers"
"Can Spurs win the league?, No, that's a stupid question..."
Cunt.
