I just don’t get the point of VAR anymore. I never wanted it in the first place, but I just hate the fact that all the brilliant raw emotion has been removed from the game while we forensically analyze every tiny frame of slo-mo. We’re not better off for it. Just bring in semi-auto offside, which is cut-and-dry, and let the coaches have one challenge per half or per game for anything that might be utterly and wildly obvious. Allowing VAR to intervene whenever they want has ruined it.

When would you say the last time he had “his day” was?

I have literally no idea what his strengths are

Oh good, an Arsenal fan.

The angle where he’s screaming at the ref and then looks up and smashes it is so damn good.

All of Ange’s previous clubs went through the same thing and came out the other side better for it. He is unrelenting in his pursuit of scoring goals. We don’t stop trying to score. On another day we could have had 5 goals quite easily. By playing this way no matter what, we will get to the point where we are scoring 3+ every week. I trust the process. Plus, even with the injuries we have I’m pretty encouraged that we only conceded two goals today. More to come from us, and it will be great to watch throughout 2024.

Hilarious. You stay up all night thinking of that original one? Might wanna read up on our 2 league titles, 3 European titles & 8 FA cups next time you can’t sleep.

Tbf we actually haven’t played that badly. The Chelsea game is what it is. We were easily the best team with 11, but some stupid choices cost us. Against wolves we were ok-ish but the third-rate CB pairing ultimately proved to be our downfall. Today we played with too much risk but could have scored 4 or 5 on another day. I’m not gonna stress about it. Before the season. I would have taken top 6 with attacking football and a half-decent cup run. Sometimes the expectations are a bit too high. People seem to forget we sold a 30+ goal-a-season striker.

Sheringham’s dummied-layoff to Shearer to leather it top-bins was magical.

Mason Mount. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a match and said “wow Mount played really well today”. That goes for his England career too.

Palace instead of Middlesbrough, Sheff Wednesday instead of Sunderland. And just for fun I’ll kick Arsenal out and stick Brighton in there

Often the early kickoff is to reduce drinking (and therefore fans being idiots) before the game. Some people wouldn’t be surprised that Liverpool fans need this more than other clubs.

Spurs were ready to sell Son after one season, and I don’t think most of us would have been that upset about it.

Mid table is 9-14 IMHO. 8th place is only 1 spot behind European qualification most seasons, and there’s many clubs for whom a top-8 finish is a great achievement. Mid table refers to the clubs who had no real bearing on anything - European spots or relegation. Source: Tottenham fan since the 90’s. We were the definition of mid-table until 2006

Remember when the measure of a good ref was forgetting they existed? The fact that we even have this, shows just how much VAR has ruined the game

Spurs won the FA Cup in 1901 without even being in the football league. First and only non-league team to win it.

Palmer has 4 pens in 10 matches and somehow everyone’s acting like City are Juventus watching Thierry Henry destroy the Prem for a decade after letting him leave on the cheap.

Man City have spent their money more effectively than the other teams, that’s the main difference. United, Liverpool, and Chelsea have all spent crazy cash but it hasn’t worked as well for them. Everyone is trying to buy the league, but City have just been better at it than the others.
