Match Ratings Ratings vs Hull

[Bulletspur]

Easy victory with our players playing in flip flops

Lloris is not blame for missing out on sharing the golden gloves. I blame Verts!

Poch pissed me off as well with not giving others like N'koudou a chance especially as we had already cemented second place and were 3-0 up.

Anyway good season and thanks for the ride you Spurs.

Team: 10
Vertonghen: -10

Just kidding, fantastic day all the way around. What a great season. Looking forward to bigger and better things in the coming seasons.

MOM to Wanyama. Just because I wanted to vote for him one last time this season.

 

[poc]

Haven't given any to Kane this year unbelievably but he so deserves it 7 in 2, golden boot and missed how many games? Just brilliant

 

[thinktank]

Was dipping in and out of this game and pool's - and I know 'arry got the hatrick etc - but gonna give MoM to Eriksen for his attitude and application throughout.

Dogged and persistent. That really impressed me today.

 

[tiger666]

I'll go Trippier

 

[knowlespurs]

86 points is just unbelievable
has to be kane for mom

 

[whitesocks]

Davies for me - saw a lot of the ball, fed Alli and Son well, passed well, created 3 good chances, made a few crunching tackles, and scored.

 

[Shadydan]

Can't be asked to rate
Everyone was great
It's a shame we never hit eight
When I saw the scoreline i was like...mate.

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Really sad face on Dawson when 6-1 or 7-1
Don't think he would be good enough for this current team even if he were younger. But he is still one of our legends. Really bad to see his sad face

Agree too....

But on the other hand daws often crumbled against world class strikers so its not too surprising

I wouldn't go as far as to call him a legend. That's putting him up alongside the likes of King.

 

[Spurrific]

If somebody gets a hat trick and you vote for anybody else, you're just being a contrarian twat.

I'll give it to Trippier.

 

[steve]

I wouldn't go as far as to call him a legend. That's putting him up alongside the likes of King.

And Simon Davies

And Steffan Freund

Nirvana / The Ghost of Shitmas Past

I can remember way back to the start of last season, we got off to a bit of a crawler and that great footballing wit Paul Merson, on Soccer Saturday starts rattling on about how we'd have been much better off if we'd have kept the likes of Huddlestone, Livermore and Dawson. How the players playing in their stead weren't up to their standards. I remember Huddlstone whining on about how "we'd decided to go all foreign" as if we'd let ourselves go. I've read some posters lamenting the fate of these players, personally it just gives the fucking hibbeee gibbeees to think what our (past) future could have looked like. A scary ghost of Christmas past for me.

Tactically, analysis is pretty much moribund, they were fucking shambolic and had lost all purpose, and we were just scintillating bar a brief spell when, just like Leicester in the week, them scoring seemed to make us angrier and we just got more brutal on their arses.

Everyone contributed and some of the football this team plays isn't just great, it's bordering impudent and it's a fucking joy to behold. If Eriksen is the brains of this outfit then Alli is the pisstaker in chief. The kid can still bumble at times, and we saw some of that first half, but then he pops up with the obligatory moment of quality, capping a nice move where both Son and Kane played the right passes to tee him up, and from then on he just took the piss, including in a lovely lifted dink that Eriksen nearly finished deftly.

As for Kane, the boy's a fucking phenomena.

But he, and they (Alli, Eriksen et al) are emblematic of this team. Most of the components of this team are what make this team what it is, and what this team is, is what makes these individual components great. And that has always been the hallmark of great teams. It's hard to tell where individual brilliance begins and collective excellence ends. And that is football nirvana. And that is pretty much where we are.

This team has defenders that initiate the attack, and attackers that initiate the defending. Midfielders that have split personalities. We have outscored everyone, out defended everyone, clocked up the best winning run I've seen, gone unbeaten at home for the first time in my lifetime, played the best football - and by that I don't just mean offensively, I mean proper football, this team out works, out runs, out thinks and out plays, it's opponents.

This team has more character than any other team in my lifetime. And that character has been infused into this group by its leader.

My favourite memory of this season? It was during that Bournemouth game a few games back, we had dipped into that cruise mode that great teams can do in a comfortable lead, and in years gone by that would have been excused, but not this team. The eerie lull was filled by Moad'Dib Pochettino (who's name is a killing word eh @SlickMongoose ) and his booming weirding module voice bellowing vamoooosh vamoooosh. And they immediately did, with panache.

I fucking love this team.

Nice work. (I was genuinely expecting a "it's all very well winning 7-1, but we didn't learn anything new this game and should have used the opportunity to blood some more youngsters instead" post. I mean, we both know that you feel those sentiments deep down, but have a Like for the restraint in not posting them. )

Yeah, I'm currently flogging my penis with a cat o nine tails just for having those thoughts.
