Match Threads Stoke vs Tottenham Hotspur - Match Thread

[Mighty Spurs]

`Yet again another weak oppossition and we make it so hard to beat them. I cannot understand why this is so. Lloris seems to be making quite a few blunders this season.

Sportinglife couldn't decide on the goal either, so they gave it to both of them.

Important win.

I was just watching the bbc ticker while I did other stuff. They actually declared the match over at 90+6, then re opened again until 90+8 I was wondering what the hell was going on.

Stoke are fighting for their lives. Was always going to be a tough game.

No words. Delete this game from existence.

Six points to mathematically confirm a finish ahead of Arsenal.

As much as that is great, we should be looking at catching united and finishing second in the league.

It pleases me that I don't even care about this.


Arsenal are completely irrelevant these days.

I care, I care a whole lot. We were under their thumb for soooo long, I'm loving every second of it now roles are reversed.

Great away win. Years ago we would have conceded. Full credit to Stoke who battled hard. Great victory

Not like I feel we had to worry about it but now we are nestled nicely in the top 4 - 11 points ahead of Chelsea.

Bit of a hit and miss performance, i don't think we were awful but there were a few silly decisions made. Eriksen was very sloppy with the ball today, Kane was very rough with his touches (understandably) and I think we were unnecessarily forcing passes that weren't on, leaving us exposed to the counter attack.

Still, I thought we controlled the game mostly, Dele and Dembele had good games. Aurier wasn't as bad as some are making out.

Sonny needs to learn to stop running down blind alleys, Lamela showed him how to do it when he came on - although I understand this isn't really Sonny's game.

Perhaps Lamela should have started.

Much better performance next week I expect.

Vertonghen should get MotM for stopping the 5 v. 2 break Stoke had...

More like an MMA fight than a football game!

We were very lucky to come away with three points. On another day Stoke would have scored 4. Luckily their CF was a total joke and wasted a clear chance first half and then incredibly blew a 4 on 1 break at the end. He only scored as Lloris smashed it straight into him. On the other hand you could say it was a gritty away win that we would have lost 4 or 5 years ago.

Give the opponent some credit ffs. They are fighting for their lives and showed a lot of fight today. Which made it an even better 3 points for us.

Not so much anything Verts did, more that their CF is the worst footballer I have ever seen in the top flight!

TBF Diouf completely wasted the chance and hit it straight to Verts

I’d rather delete the games like this that we lost over the years. What I’d have given for a scrappy three points so often in the past.

Sometimes you got to win “Sonia from Eastenders”

Yeah - but I love knowing that it mattered a lot more to them.

The bigger insult is the realization that Arsenal just don't matter right now.

Always a pleasure to beat those hairy-palmed morlocks

Highlight of the game was the big pushing match in the Stoke area. Everyone was moody as f*ck apart from Dele who stood in the middle of it the whole time smirking.
