We’re going to be hearing “first time since '61” quite a bit
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.
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.
You’ve been getting deflected goals all season you stupid cunt
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.
Sarrrrrr dude
he is immense. i get the feeling we don’t fully appreciate what he does on the pitch for us
Tottenham have a fucking midfield
Almost shed a tear when I saw him sprinting down the right wing in the 90th minute
Speak for yourself. I’ve been talking about his off-the-ball genius for two months now.
Stepping up every single match
how was there not a SINGLE card in that entire match?!?
i know it’s pretty much impossible, but it would be hilarious if spurs win it this year just after kane left
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
Just go kick in the NFL
He be the first academy player to score a FG at the stadium.
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
i’m sorry this is happening to you.
If Spurs lose enough games it’ll happen.
Long may it continue.
We won’t ever get a match thread without it. But what if we did? Nah, its impossible.
Unless…
I’m not a Tottenham fan, but as a Chaotic Liverpool one I love this. Kane leaving has them on top 😆
Same. If Liverpool can’t win the league then love seeing spurs win it because it’s interesting.
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.
How did that goal stand? At least two angles where the handball was obvious
We need better fullbacks
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.
Was thinking how on earth are palace trying to counter when none of their attackers can outrun Van de Ven.
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.
Great, now every time I see VdV chase someone down I’m going to hear the JAWS song in my head.
The Haaland/VDV battle is gonna be genuinely fascinating
No
Gary Neville on Sky Sports being an absolute bellend about Spurs right now
Hope he eats his word s
What did he say?
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.
It’s true though, and I say that as a Spurs fan.
If we had some bench options for CB and maddison/Son then I might agree but right now we are an injury away from being unable to score or keep goals at bay.
Gary Neville being a prat as usual…
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.
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
If you forget Conte’s terrorism
I’ve been trying but I think my brain needs bleach
It’s the manager and the style of football.
Everyone is talking up the players and that’s fair; they’re doing it on the field but the difference is the manager.
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.
0 days since the last VAR shitshow
Moaning aside — how did Bentancur do?
Looked confident, hard to say much more than that.
