Spurs fans love a good moan but it was bloody frustrating to watch when you've been brought up watching the silky skills of Hoddle and Gazza. The ball constantly being passed sideways and back. We need more creativity in midfield to unlock defences that come to White Hart Lane and park the bus. We have to find a solution to that. He has a point though the atmosphere was a bit shit yesterday but that's the fans being frustrated by what they are watching. I know I was. 70 minutes into a home game against a team you really should be giving a good hiding to. Remember, that the last home game was the three-nil loss to West Ham, some of us were feeling a bit deja-vu by then. I think they call that winning ugly. Certainly, not the most enjoyable game I've been to in a very long time at the Lane (thankfully, I missed the West Ham debacle).

Joe Hart dropped by City apparently. City obviously feel they can't afford any more mistakes.

Are You a Football Hipster?...http://www.theguardian.com/football/quiz/2013/oct/29/are-you-a-football-hipster



You scored 29 out of a possible 60


Nope. YOU'RE NO FOOTBALL HIPSTER! You like goals, goals, goals, pronounce Milan as Milan rather than Mee-lan, and quite frankly you're not really sure you'd recognise a false nine if one came up and shook you by the hand. You've got some work to do. Start of with a video of the 1991 European Cup final between Red Star Belgrade and Marseille and work from there.

Agreed. Sadly this is what the Nick Hornby generation has spawned. It is probably going to get worse before it gets better.

I think that was a league game Quids and it was three-nil with Lineker getting a hat-trick in '92. What you might be thinking of is a five-nil thrashing at the Lane in the League Cup with Clive Allen scoring a hat-trick in '87. I was at both games. Either of those results will do me thank you. ;-)

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
