I thought it was a penalty. The second foul, kicked from behind. A draw was a fair result though.

Seems so - but as I say he went down in the first half and our players weren't happy with that.

 

Was that a dive?

 

Of course we have our fair share too though - Richarlison seems to suffer a sudden head injury all the time!

Why does everyone accuse Spurs of "bottling"?

 

They come up against Man Utd in a one off cup tie. Man Utd are better than Spurs. Man Utd win the game..... what exactly did they bottle?

 

They trail Man City in the league. Man City are miles better than them. Man City won the league.....what did they bottle?

 

They come up against Juve in the champions league. Juve are better than Spurs and have been in two recent champions league finals. Juve win over 2 legs. As expected.

 

In our title winning season, we were consistently better than them. We won the league.

 

"Bottling" is where YOU are the favourite and YOU are the front runner and you blow it, and when have they ever been the favourite or blown it? like been clear at the top of the league and blown it or been massive favourites for a cup and screwed up? Never

 

So theyre not bottlers, theyre just not as good as the teams that edge them all the time.

They'd have a job. Dave is dead!

Crikey, whoops, honestly wasn't aware, whilst I'm sure Chas is capable of solo work the absence of the chirpy sing and respond style banter between them it would be like watching Dec without Ant.... oh hang on, bad example. A pint of jellied Eels raised and thoughts to Chas, friends, family and fans.

So what your saying is that they are “Bottling” at being “Bottlers” then

Horrible bunch of cvnts some of us would love to see go out of business.

Yes but theyre not favourites to win anything, so they didnt bottle. thats my point.

 

Theyre just worse than their rivals.

Sylo -You are so very predictable when it comes to spurs !

 

@Donut - spurs were favourites for this game. They were ahead with the first quarter of an hour. They lost 

 

against juve, they were ahead On aggregate after an hour 

 

they lost both ties.  That’s bottling it mate!

But its not though is it.

 

A game lasts 90 mins. A champions league two legged tie lasts 180 mins. Being ahead for a few mins in a game doesnt mean youve bottled it when you lose.

 

They just come up against teams that are better than them.

 

I havent looked at the odds for todays game but theres no way you can argue Spurs are as good a side as Man Utd.

 

"Bottling It" would be losing an 8 point lead like Man Utd did a few seasons ago. Or an even bigger lead vs Arsenal when they won the league.

 

Bottling it is what England did vs Iceland.
