I fucking hate listening to football on the radio, with a passion. So frustrating when you can't see what the fuck they're getting excited about.

I remember listening to Pearce in the mid 90's where the fucker would get excited over a throw in.

It's very frustrating watching us at the moment as we know we can be so much better. However, I do think we need to remember that we were a completely different team last season from around about Christmas time onwards and it was very similar the year before. I realise that we picked up more points early last season but there was a fair few games where we hadn't looked all that and it was only really the games where the opposition tried to have a go. Not too mention we haven't seen our two preferred wing-backs - Rose/Davies & Aurier - yet, and that for me makes a huge difference to how a Pochettino team plays.

Factor in the new stadium adjustment too.

It may be a couple more months before we see the 'flying Tottenham' of last year. We just need to be patient.

I seriously just think it's Wembley... I'm convinced we wouldn't have these same concerns had we played these very same home games at WHL.

For me it's no so much about warming up as a team but more so adjusting our style of play to be more effective at Wembley.

Fair enough. We probably would have beaten Burnley and probably have broken Swansea's resistance but I don't necessarily believe the performances would have been much more pleasant on the eye.

Usually you would sit there watching the draw being made praying we get a home match.. This season however.

TOB becomes the first player born this millennium to play for thfc. If that doesn't make you feel old then not much will!
