Not pissed off just high standards perhaps and making an assessment that despite the win there is still loads that needs putting right in this team. I'm not sure how anyone can be completely happy with the awful sideways and backwards 1st half helped out only by Murray and then the 20 minutes after half time where we were all over the place. Last 20 minutes before injury time led by Lamela great, injury time nearly Spursy.

What's wrong with that assessment exactly?
Well the bold word makes you sound about 12 for a start.

What's wrong with that assessment exactly?

1. The fact that absolutely no-one is "completely happy" with that performance
(no-one is, but people are much happier with that performance than recent ones, because it was better)
2. The idea that the first half we were "awful"
(we obviously weren't - Brighton were absolutely encamped in their half doing nothing but trying to prevent a goal - we played normal probing football but we lacked a bit of urgency and movement. We were nothing like "awful")
3. The suggestion that we were "all over the place" for 20 minutes
(no we weren't - Brighton came out and applied as much pressure as they could, 30 yards further up the pitch. We absorbed it, dealt with it, then hit them once they'd run out of steam and took control back)
4. The use of the fucking word Spursy FFS

That'll be the things that are wrong with that assessment.

I'm a miserable long suffering Spurs fan and a grumpy old cad to boot.
I stick to my assessment and not lIking the word myself but if the capo fits - see latest event in midweek when after that I received texts from friends/colleagues from all age groups using exactly that term. I accept it when they use it. Some people on here are too young to go back much in time and understand its use and accuracy.

Fair play if people thought we were much better than my assessment. We all have opinions. Personally I think your points are way too generous.

I'd forgotten what winning feels like....United feels like months ago.
It feels bloody nice.

Please tell me someone is watching this debate on BT sport about us, it's brilliant.

Ive been watching and Ghod has been making some great points. I cannot and am unable to contribute further as i was watching porn at the same time and my attention wasnt all focused.

Harry is such an angry old fucker. He does talk some sense but is bitter he doesn't get credit for making us a top 4 club. Also asking "who" when they are saying we need a world class midfielder is silly. There are players out there, that is what scouts ect are for.

A female streaker ran on the set and before you know it - got her tiddies out and Ghod motorboated her - well the lady kinda shoved his head inbetween but Ghod didnt shy away
Did Harry describe it as 'Triffic' ?

I think Harry did suggest that - that there ought to be scouts out there looking. Thats why I find it unfathomable we didn't get in at least one midfielder. ridiculous.

I'm not suggesting that on the whole we didn't deserve to win. I'm just saying that the match could have played out very differently had we not gotten a lucky penalty or had they taken advantage of the opportunities they created during the twenty minutes they were on top.

Still though I want to reiterate that I'm feeling optimistic after watching that. If we continue to coax our top players back toward their best and (fingers crossed) address the midfield and we have every chance of having a very good season, despite all the negativity over the first month.

It's just the way we all view it though. I don't see the penalty as lucky really. When you have that much possesion decisions can role for you.

And if Son sticks away that effort in the first half as well, but it was blocked well.
