Their unbeaten run reminds me of Manchester two seasons ago. Like 20 games without losing, 10 draws ore more and went from sixth to sixth in the meantime LOL

You're right. How dare we take away the opportunity for them to finally eulogise about their beloveds
(Leicester all over again )
Hard to fully assess his play given Burnley’s complete lack of attack, but I thought the same.
Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart speaking to BBC MOTD: "We defended really well, Tottenham almost gave up with their style of play, it is ironic it comes from Trippier lumping one into the box.
"The performance was far too honest to base our feelings on one moment, they came at us all day on a big pitch. Sometimes you make the wrong decisions and it’s down to me to bail the lads out but Eriksen took his chance well.
"I knew the effort we were putting in we would get deeper and deeper but I’ll never give up and neither will this team. It’s a real sickener to concede late on but we need to build on this.
"There is definite improvement. I joined knowing the defensive unit we had and we have not been solid so far this season we have given chances away but we have been better in the last two games."
I do not think "ironic" means what you think it means, Joe. You're trying to play down the massive disappointment of losing by parking a bus in front of your goal and claming it is good work. In football, good work means good football, and the only thing that was good about you and your team's performance was "riddance". Playing down the fact that we managed to thread a ball through your messy defense is probably right though, we couldn't care less because we've walked away with three points and are smiling. Your well-puckered arseholes are still trying their damnest to unclench as you glumly march back from whence you came. Enjoy your definite improvement.

Yep. I was concerned this may be a point of weakness, given his height compared to Verts.
Idiotic comments from a Hart, but I thought his play today was outstanding, until he got beat near post.
:eriksenlol:
Joe Hart. What a cunt.
How he was not booked for time wasting today I will never know. The ref must be a fan of his.
Every single time the prick had a goal kick he would take far too long and he had no shame in regards the comedy way he would jog on the spot to get his legs moving before he jogged up to the ball to lump it to some donkey up front. It looked like a Flintstone cartoon at times as either Fred or Barney have to sprint home....
Honestly, anyone who takes pride in what Burnley did today needs to re evaluate what football is to them.
And back to my initial irritation. Joe Hart. You are a fucking joke mate. You are no better than a 70’s pro ending up in the US soccer leagues trying to continue to steal a living long after you have been found out at domestic level.
And stop dying your hair. You are kidding no one.
Because playing through them was any easier?
He could have done better with some of his crossing, some was just good blocking, but what is Trippier supposed to do in those positions?
It was much harder to play those inside balls as the game wore on and they sat deeper and deeper with 5 across the back.
Every time he played the ball back inside Alli, Lamela, Sissoko or Moura just bumbled about with it. Bit harsh to single out Trippier when others were equally inept at doing what they should. Sissoko (who you credit) wasted a great chance to shoot or play someone in, instead whacking it at Lamela, and wasted two other great situations (one after Trippier had played him in behind). Alli and Moura fucked about all day. Son should have hit the target with another great chance. Trippier was no guiltier of struggling to break them down as any other of our players, he was just doing what he was supposed to do though, offer width and another angle of attack.
And didn't our goal eventually come via him putting one in?
I’m enjoying sissoko a lot this season but he needs to try his luck more with his shots. He gets in the chance but is afraid.
Almost the same as now then
Can't ...... get ...... the.... taste ... out of my mouthGive his ass a lick while you're at it mate.
He'll enjoy that
Thats the way to celebrate.
Ahhhh, the interweb, is it?
Everyone was closed down and roughed up. That's the only thing you could say Burnley pro-actively did throughout the 90mins.
There was nothing wrong with his performance. I wish all debutants looked that comfortable.
How’s it looking for that bouncy German clown cunt?
Nah, JBL is way too much a cunt
