This 100%.
We are better than them. They are more ruthless and cynical than us. But it wins them games.
I'm sorry

respect your opinions but think ultimately it was a mixture of bad luck and effective tactics from Cunte, rather than one or the other. Effective meaning the playacting/fouling etc as well as the formation/catenaccio. Plus a bit of naivity from us.
The galling thing is they've done the same thing twice to us now at Wembley and we should have learned from it. That's not purely down to bad luck twice (IMO).
I don't want us to play like they do (fouls etc) in every game, and we don't need to. But against them I think we have to. Instead we tend to do lose it (Dier could have been sent off) rather than doing the subtle tactical fouls and time wasting.
That said I don't think it was a foul for their free kick.
On the plus side the atmosphere was surprisingly good, at least around where I was (behind the goal at which they scored their winner). Lots of good lads around me and my lot, singing most of the game. Much better than I was expecting. Great move from the club to put all ST holders in the bottom tier. Can imagine atmosphere may have been shit in the top tier. It matters greatly who the immediate people around you are. We are from the Paxton but around us are people from the Park Lane rather than other Paxtonites, which is a good thing.
