Saw a similar one in the cricket the other week where he landed awkwardly and basically ripped the nerves in his neck like whiplash.

Why when someone has what looks like a serious injury do fans of other football clubs have to put “from a Villa fan”. Just wish him well shouldn’t matter what team you support.

TalkSport all day have been bigging this game up to say they'll be loads of goals and how free flowing and attacking it'll be. It could be goals galore. 

 

0-0

Doing their best to give a goal but Spurs very wasteful.

[StanSP]

Dirty from Van Dijk. Studs on back of the shin. 

[Super_horns]

Looked tight that .

 

Still seemed to take a long time .

Another Americanization

Bergvall is a lucky boy. 

[StanSP]

The irony that the guy who should be off is the guy who scored

Extremely lucky now

[Super_horns]

That was predictable!

 

Should be off- now scored .

It was tight and this is why I'm in the minority that believe these goals should stand. I understand the fact that offside is offside even by a toe but I totally prefer the rule as it was back in the 80s and 90s. If the body of the defender covers by majority the attacker's it shouldn't be offside.

A Tottenham v Newcastle final would be a weird one given both clubs' allergies to trophies. They'll probably both lose.

[foxfanazer]

I know it's not the most prestigious trophy nowadays but a Newcastle V Spurs cup final would be pretty decent. Both massive underachievers in the last 30 years

Can lead to so many grey areas though, and how is a linesman meant to see that in real time?

Timing

 

[foxfanazer]

Big Ange did say he always wins trophies in his second season 

 

Still think Liverpool comfortably win the second leg if they want it

Even if Liverpool don't score tonight there's no way they can defend a 1-0 at Anfield. They'll be down 3-0 in the first 30mins.

If Solanke wasn't so lanky they'd be two up

 

I'll get my coat

Like they did back then? I know the sport is much quicker now but you can still spot in real time if a defender covers partially an attacker. It's also easier to implement such rule now with the use of VAR. 

[walkerleeds]

Fair play to Slot. 

 

Didn't go off screaming in the refs face like he'd just murdered his dog ala Klopp.
