Koke Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 Tottenham are an overrated side. They're a good team but overrated. I agree with the previous poster that I generally judge a team by how much I'm shitting myself when they attack. I felt comfortable yesterday against Tottenham Even when I saw they added 5 extra minutes of stoppage time I still felt comfortable they wouldn't score. We've played this lot 8 times in less than 2 years. We're both sick of each other as it without adding the drama of last season into it. I just bloody hope we don't get them in the FA Cup again.

Good talents, but completely embarrassing to say "world beaters" or some of the other nonsense I read about them. Those two, especially Alli, are the ultimate modern footballer, a product of the 6 second vine highlight and the YouTube montage. Alli does nothing for weeks, but then pulls out a bit of world class skill that gets played over and over, and from that gets built up as something special.

Corky Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 There is no rivalry, we were just interested because they were the closest team to us in the title race for a while. If West Ham or Everton had been involved they'd have got the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically they are a great side with some very very good players. However, they share the same affliction as their fellow north Londoners - they have no mental strength and Its why they both keep talking it up..they know they are fragile and they know they cant cope when things go against them. Its very easy to look great when everything is going your way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livid Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 I just think he is genuinely poor along with Moss and Atkinson. He gave us a couple of soft ones towards the end. The FA won't act because there's no real talent coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we did The football league division 1 is now the championship, it's the top tier in the football league. so technically we have won that, and as you say, it's the same trophy. We know football wasn't invented in 1992 but it is still correct to say that we have won the premier league and spurs haven't! nor have Liverpool, Everton etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katieakita Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 They played lovely football at times last season and kept going as many teams fell away. They have however got this belief they have a God given right to be a top 4 club something they haven't achieved on a regular basis. They can bleat all they like about possession stats but it is what you do with it that matters, they can claim how lucky we were last season yet forget the huge amount of luck they had from refs who ignored some of the nastier side of their play and the performance at Chelsea when it fell apart was disgusting and must rank as one of the dirtiest performances in recent history and a stronger ref could have shown Spurs enough red cards to have abandoned the game. You have got to take your hat off to the constant comments about how we could possibly be happy with last season and the way we played, we won the league ffs something no Leicester fan could have dreamed of ask any City fan if they would have swapped our season for theirs or even better asking any other teams fans whose season they would rather have had last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will rack up the shots but they won't really have that many clear cut chances. It's what made me laugh about them supposedly dominating us last year, they had one good chance to my memory, we had one, they missed theirs, we scored ours. 2 hours ago, Corky said: There is no rivalry, we were just interested because they were the closest team to us in the title race for a while.

On balance Spurs slightly edged it but they weren't far better than us as they would like to believe. We controlled the pace of the game and we controlled the emotion of the game. And the ref gave them a pen which wasn't, whereas we scored a legitimate goal. I'd say it was pretty even! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't swap the last 25 seasons with them. Football is about winning trophies and in the last quarter of a century they've won the grand total of two League Cups, that's the same as we'd managed until our title win, and they've been in the premier league that whole time. They've not even reached an FA Cup final. For the money they've spent, their location and their consistency of staying in the top league their trophy return (and their CL qualification) is really poor. They try and portray themselves as an ambitious club, but they look more like they're treading water.

You sit and watch video from even early premiership years and the game is practically unrecognisable. Titles won decades ago, let alone generations ago, are pretty much irrelevant when discussing modern football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
