I’m sitting on the toilet waiting to be entertained!!
Here you go

They are big, guileless, physical lumps in the main aren't they?

The least flamboyant Spurs team I can remember, and opted to sit on a 1-0 for the whole 2nd half which is quite un-Spursy.

Still, they took their single chance while we were flat in the first half and unlucky in the 2nd with our chances.

Annoyed that 2 of our front 3 flopped in a big game again. Anderson wasn't at it and Yarmo had done next to nothing before his injury. The positives were Diop, who was magnificent, Rice competent, and Arnie manufactured enough chances singlehanded to get the draw. Damn that drunken Frenchman.

Atkinson was diabolical. "

MOTM by country mile was Loris - did very well.

Very nice finish by Lamela for their goal - fantastic cross and a great header.

Positives:
Antonio did very well as sub - had the run of Trippier and Sanchez (I think it was them): turned them inside out for the last 20 mins. Suspect that if MP knew Antonio was going to perform like that today he would have started him (just reaching for the crystal ball here).
Diop, Fabianski - nuff said.
Arnie - nearly did it a couple of times, will be cursing Loris in goal.
Last half hour of the second half was very bright for us.

Negatives.
Would be nice to buy a player who can take a corner. Embarrassing to watch three successive corners skim the grass and barely reach their first man on the six yard box. I'm tempted to put that on a highlights reel and stick it on You Tube.

Relieved that Dembele and Ericksen didn't start today - Spurs best two by a country . . "

"
I thought they deserved their win. They did their homework.
We play a high line at the back but only caught them offside on 2 occasions that I can recall.
Arnautovic was caught at least 4 times, possibly 6. Crucially for the equaliser.
They were missing a number of top players and we couldn't find a way to exploit this. "

"
Spurs were poor today but we were worse. We had injuries sure but equally their starting 11 were missing Eriksen, Dembele, Vertonghen, Rose and Ali so that pretty much balances out but also shows the genuine depth they have which we do not. We improved second half but where was that effort and application in the first 45 minutes? The players should be ashamed of that first half.

We have now failed to score from open play in 4 of our 5 home games and in any form in 5 of 9 games overall during which time we have kept 1 clean sheet. That is worrying. Anderson (who was absolutely woeful today in every respect) and Yarmolenko were meant to provide the goals to help out Arnie. Not really happened and with Yarmolenko looking to be out long term this may only get worse. MP needs to find a way of getting the team scoring. The goals per game makes Moyes’s time look prolific. Being “unlucky” only goes so far, at the end of the day results are what counts. "

"Perhaps he was missing his pals Alli and Erikson but Kane was real pony today. Looks like he needs a long rest, starting with our cup gane. Looked heavy and ponderous. "



All very balanced really

I can't see that there were any controversial decisions during the whole match in either direction?
If anything the only thing he got wrong was not booking "Arnie" when he threw a strop at Dave.

Nor sure about that mate the studs up tackle on Moura in front of the ref that marked him through his shinpads was naughty and Atkinson missed it.

They laugh at us for having a cockreal on a ball, but they blow fucking bubbles when they score. Bubble blowing pansies!

Didn't really see that on the pixelated stream on my phone yesterday. Saw it on MOTD this morning and it was a shocker.

Both linesman were hopeless missing several offsides.

They got the one that counted right.
