How did that goal stand? At least two angles where the handball was obvious

[–] milesvtaylor@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Unlucky Stuart Attwell, wanker.

Sarrrrrr dude

he is immense. i get the feeling we don't fully appreciate what he does on the pitch for us

[–] Fleaaa@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Stepping up every single match

[–] Jowoes@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Almost shed a tear when I saw him sprinting down the right wing in the 90th minute

[–] Zeddsdeadbaby@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Tottenham have a fucking midfield

Moaning aside — how did Bentancur do?

[–] hungoverseal@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Looked confident, hard to say much more than that.

[–] GeraldJimes_@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It's pretty incredible how fortunate Tottenham have been so far this season, but I guess as the old adage goes, good things come to those who mate.

[–] fedfan4life@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Own goal isn't luck. Maddison put in a good ball in the box that was too fast for the defender to react properly. Richarison was ready behind the defender for the tap in.

[–] Jaksiel@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Yes. We were very fortunate that Palace avoided 4 yellow cards in the first half and didn't have an obvious handball goal disallowed. Good point.

[–] lambast@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You've been getting deflected goals all season you stupid cunt

[–] TheSoundOfTheLloris@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gary Neville on Sky Sports being an absolute bellend about Spurs right now

Hope he eats his word s

[–] _deep_blue_@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What did he say?

[–] gabrielconroy@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just saying that Spurs have no chance of winning the league or even of being a contender for it, generally downplaying how good we've been and painting it as an aberration.

i know it's pretty much impossible, but it would be hilarious if spurs win it this year just after kane left

[–] IgotAseaView@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I know it’s pretty much impossible, but it would be hilarious if we could go one match thread without someone commenting this same comment after Kane left

[–] El_Producto@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

If Spurs lose enough games it'll happen.

Long may it continue.

[–] EmotionalPopeBalls@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

We won't ever get a match thread without it. But what if we did? Nah, its impossible.

Unless...

[–] FoulObelisk@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

i'm sorry this is happening to you.

[–] RamBracken@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It would be even more hilarious if bayern don't win the league. If that actually happens I'd retire if i were kane. Maybe get into golf like bale did

[–] Bail____@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just go kick in the NFL

[–] wallnumber8675309@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He be the first academy player to score a FG at the stadium.

[–] Yurilovescats@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gary Neville being a prat as usual...

[–] FriendlyGhost08@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You won't challenge. Half of your fans are saying a title challenge should not be the expectation. Gary is annoying sometimes but he's right about that. It's 10 games in.

[–] ndennies@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ref saw the check clear from Pep at the 90th minute and tried his best to get Palace a point.

In all seriousness, horrible refereeing there. Good resilience from Spurs in what was a frustrating game for them. Johnson was fantastic.

[–] ddottay@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

We need better fullbacks

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_TANG@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

We're going to be hearing "first time since '61" quite a bit

[–] Electronic-Chef-5487@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

how was there not a SINGLE card in that entire match?!?

[–] Ok_Operation_17@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Is there a single player in the league that can put sprint Van De Ven? Seriously he absolutely blows by everyone he's gone against.

[–] airz23s_coffee@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The Haaland/VDV battle is gonna be genuinely fascinating

[–] tspcoys@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Was thinking how on earth are palace trying to counter when none of their attackers can outrun Van de Ven.

[–] Wompish66@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The crazy thing is that the higher Spurs play defensively the less exposed they are in behind because VDV has more time to hunt them down.

[–] circa285@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Great, now every time I see VdV chase someone down I'm going to hear the JAWS song in my head.

I'm not a Tottenham fan, but as a Chaotic Liverpool one I love this. Kane leaving has them on top 😆

[–] HowtoHaveaGoodName@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Same. If Liverpool can’t win the league then love seeing spurs win it because it’s interesting.

[–] plasticmotives@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Observations. I expect to be downvoted to hell because dear lord there are a lot of you Spurs fans on here.

VAR on Ayew's goal wasn't a clear and obvious error on the ref's behalf, hence not being called to the monitor. Surely we all know this now, right?

First half, I think that Palace made Spurs look average. The possession stats vs every other stat were bonkers. We missed the chance to take advantage and, of course, contrived to fuck it up for ourselves.

Once that first goal went in, it enabled Spurs to invite the high press which resulted (alongside a 'keeper brain fart) in the inevitable second. After that, the result was in the book, despite the additional intensity at the end.

Van der Ven is fucking rapid and is a genuine game changer for Spurs - top drawer defender.

For us, we're playing with what we can right now. Targeting Ward down the right remains an obvious play for opposition teams because he doesn't have Ayew doing the dirty work in front of him.

First half, a point would have been deserved. Second half, Spurs were very clever after they took the lead and, as much as I hate to say it, deserved the win.

Thank goodness we have some class to come back in to the side in the near future.

Upvotes for you, I’ll never meet your expectations

[–] plasticmotives@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Are you me? I had the same conversation with my dad last week, despite my being middle aged! Without the upvote bit, though. That would have been weird.

[–] Lewsberg@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Spurs look average

They are and everyone will agree soon enough

Vicario has turned out to be a gem

Between him, Maddison, Van der Ven, and Johnson, Spurs have had a great transfer window

If you forget Conte's terrorism, Sarr and Bissouma are like new signings too

[–] SuicidalTurnip@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I hate to say it, but so far I think Spurs have had the best transfer window. Maddison alone was an absurd bit of business, but they've just improved everywhere.

I've been trying but I think my brain needs bleach

Match events should probably mention the Palace goal.

[–] BadBehaviour613@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Had enough London teams for the entire season. Who are we playing next?

[–] 13blacklodgechillin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Man, as a chelsea fan, I've never liked Spurs. But, if they somehow manage to win the league over arsenal, I would laugh so hard but also really enjoy that.

Doing well

[–] caped_crusader8@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Missed the game. Cab someone summarise? Spurs looking dangerous this season. Definitely a title contender
