It’s true, I too am only ever on SC for my football chat - what are the best general football forums?Maybe it’s just me, but why would you want to follow football on social media anyway? Unless of course none of your real life friends/family/work colleagues have any interest in football.
Thankfully the only people I engage with on the internet who want to talk football are on SC...... which is quite handy as they all support Spurs.
I've heard that the site Twitter is a good for balanced, well thought out, cultured debate.
Kinda cute that they didn't realise we were only playing in 2nd gear. Had we needed to win that game 7-0, I think we would have.Huddersfield: Down at the Mac forum
19/1 for a draw
If it does go ahead, then I can see Tottenham trying to wrap it up quickly (in view of trying to rest key players for their match v Juventus a few days after). So we may have to play a containment game for 60-70 minutes, by which time Pochettino will hopefully have the dilemma of deciding whether to keep the likes of Kane, Eriksen, Dembele and Alli on or not.
3rd of March 1928....we stuffed Spurs 6-1 in the cup.
3rd March 1926...we beat them 2-1 in the old first division.
Tomorrow..3rd March...the 3rd day of the third month and our 3rd win.
Town and Stoke double at 84/1.
Feeling positive, reckon we'll nick it. 2-1. Performance of the week.
As long as we don't go back to that defensive nonsense and play attacking football like we have been with Pritchard, I think we have a chance.
Nice of spurs to put a weakened side out
That's a strong starting Spurs lineup though - not resting any players for the upcoming Juventus game then!
Also not underestimating us, giving us credit if you like.
Just seen the ref is Mike Jones, we'll be lucky to finish with 9 men
Alli is getting at least 1 penalty today then!
Mike Jones injured warming up. Kevin Friend in charge
Where's your bogus Qualified Referee Card when you need it. ..... ??
We're pressing well straight away, had them under pressure.
Frantic start. Spurs frightening at times
Looking like rabbits in headlights at the moment
Keep restricting them to long range efforts and we should be fine. Should be.
Somebody crock Son please. Ooops was that my outside voice ....?
What does Pritchard have to do to get a foul against him awarded lately? Was hacked to pieces at the Hawthorns also...
Ali booked early
Ali is a cheat and on the sly a dirty player. Trouble is he has all the tools in the locker and he is better than the picture he paints of himself. People are waking up to his tactics.
Starting to have an idea how they felt in the Alamo. Long afternoon ahead I think...
1-0
Bollox. It was coming. Fully deserved for being so shit in possession
One of these days we will win after going behind. Don't think that it's going to be today though.
Was coming, they look far more skilful than us
Always going to happens. It's hard to play without the ball. Especially against a team as good as Spurs.
They were a yard and a half quicker than us at home and they won't have slowed down. We need to be tough in our challenges.
Spurs are better at closing down than we are, with better players. We're been forced into long ball and it's simply not working. Tough day at the office.
In Eriksen, Alli and Kane they have one of the best attacks in the world - of course Hogg is not going to be on their level, and you can say the same for about three quarters of the league if not more.
Some days the opposition are just 'on it'. I'm not knocking Town for looking second best against the second best team in the country.
Man for man Spurs are streets ahead of our boys. But...who didn't expect that? Some teams are just good at making you look poor. Spurs are one of those teams. We tried a defensive set-up against them at the JSS. Didn't work. We are now trying a more offensive line-up. doesn't seem to be working atm. What to do to give us a bit more of a chance...who knows? Anyway, Massive are 3-0 down already, rejoice in that!!
Hang firm lads we can still get something out of this!
town are second to every ball but there is no fitness reason why they should be. Is there a psychological reason? Like confidence?
Tell you what, stop the bollocks trolling. If you're a Town fan you'll see this game for what it is. They're 15 games unbeaten... Have you ever played football where as a player you're just chasing the opposition? It's bloody hard work..
I can think of a few hundred million reasons.
Maybe the opposition are quicker?
Did well to get in at half time at just 1-0.
Awful so far, miracle it's only one nil. It's clearly a confidence thing, I don't give a shit how good they are we ought to be doing much better.
Much better sides than town have gone in at half time worse than 1-0 down.
We're gonna stay in the game till 15 to go, then attack and snatch something (maybe).
Spurs are outwitting us with a very high tempo game, hopefully they cannot keep that up in the second half. Maybe we can take advantage, when they tire a little, fingers crossed.
Fuck me ragged, how is that not a penalty!!!
Ince with a chance there
2-0
Very nice pass from Kane for that goal. Sigh. We were actually getting back into the game there.
Nothing much you can do about that. 10/10 cross, 10/10 finish.
Keep it as it is until the last 15 minutes, then have a go. Have a go now and we could be first on match of the day for the Tottingham love-in
Lovely goal my arse, Kane lumped it over in the direction of where his mate was haring into space - we gave the ball away cheaply in the first place and then no-one went with the runner. Pretty basic stuff.
If that's how you describe one of the best assists of the season then you really need to just take some time away from football for a while.
Son found the space, Kane saw the 40 yard pass, made it and Son tucked it away. If you want to think it was a mindless lump to a hopeful runner, you crack on.
Can't believe Kane missed that. He's not god after all.
We're not the first team to be out-played by Spurs and we won't be the last - this is a team who were unlucky not to get a result at Juventus. Fair enough they probably took the foot off the gas, but I think we've looked ok in the second half.
Spurs at home was men against boys. They completely took us apart. Today, by contrast, has been much closer and shows the areas that we've improved in. Yes, the first goal showed some defensive naivety with the high line, and the second came from a mistake, however both still required great skill from the opposition to stick away.
Losing 2-0 at a full strength Spurs who beat Real Madrid 3-1 earlier this season and some folk are losing their shit!! Only on a match day thread

2 of them then carry on ranting at each other with it ending up with them agreeing to me and fight each other to settle it....and I thought our match day thread was bad..

Shearer had retired from England the summer Jenas joined Newcastle. Also JJ wasn’t commentating on other people, only the way he found himself affected. He and Shearer are clearly very different types of characters, the former was a leader who dragged others up with him, while JJ was someone who may have benefited from a strong environment to push him.
