I got a pic with Carragher last night - really random, I was just waiting oustide the no.8 pub or whatever it is for my brother to arrive from Seven Sisters and behind me I heard a random scoucer accent asking where the entrance to the media section was. Turned around and there he was asking a plod. He was in a massive rush but still got a pic with him. As soon as everyone else cottoned on he pegged it down park lane. Pointless story really.... but maybe it will benefit someone's bordem

Craig Burley and the rest of the ESPN crew simply DO NOT WISH SPURS SUCCESS. *Every* comment is about how Citeh got fucked by VAR, Spurs were dominated, the reason we won is a combination of poor Citeh defense and VAR chicanery, the Llorente handball was clear, the Aguerro offside was "clear but we can debate the exact meaning of the offside rule" -- just on and on with the whinging and excuses.

Spurs spent ZERO POUNDS in the past two Summer Transfers and still held on to beat a half-billion-pound side (over two legs!) with Sane, Fernadinho, Mahrez, Stones, and Jesus *all on the bench at the start of the game* and these tossers can only whine about Llorente getting a "material advantage" because the ball grazed his arm -- when we can all CLEARLY see the ball would've ended up on his hip and then into the goal anyway?

FUCK RIGHT OFF.

I mentioned ESPN a while back. Now im not as sensitive as most are about pundits, normally i think they give and take and sometimes theys ay shite and sometimes they are great and complimentary

However

ESPN annoy the absolute fuck out of me. Craig Burley that miserable **** and whats his face Steve fucking Nicholl - they ought to blow each other off then fuck off.

And who is the latin guy? not sure who but he adds fuck all to anything. The presenter is shite. Everything about it is shite.

Funnily enough I was watching the same thing last night, and wasn't totally surprised. Having watched prior programs with this rogue gallery of muppets, it's entirely clear that they aren't fans of Spurs the club. They love Poch and Harry, and any chance they get, they'll lament their commitment to a 'small club' like Spurs.

Now, that said... last night's observations was professionally embarrassing for all the dipshits sitting around that table, and ESPN itself. If they desire to be taken seriously in the world of Football, then they need to tell these fucksticks how to pretend to be objective. You would've thought they'd just got back from a funeral the way they were acting.

And the host... don't get me started on him. Literally the first thing outta his mouth was about Llortente's goal should have been disallowed for handball, but wasn't 'cos apparently the VAR team and the Ref didn't have as good camera angles as the ones they had seen. Said this with a serious face. And then they spent the next 20 mins or so grousing about Man City being hard done by.

I swear when they cut to commercial break, they all must whip out their todgers and wank off over pictures of Pep.

Seriously can't understand how they get away with it.

It's absolutely shocking the amount of media outlets give spurs no credit for not spending millions and bringing young players through and making a semi final. Why do they always side with the club's who spend fortunes it makes no sense to me.

Because you and people like you (who take offence) continue to watch it. You all need to vote with your feet and tell them why :D
Shit, dude. I was hate watching. Just had to see how they were gonna handle the result, given their unyielding affection for Pep. Sorta the same way we fans on here enjoy reading what other fans have to say after we beat them!
And while I sincerely appreciate the observation, and can fully appreciate your thought process, I can assure you I do exactly as you wisely suggest, for all manner of bullshit that gets up my nostrils!! (y)

Because a lot of them support Clubs who have far greater financial resources, or pumped by a sugar daddy, they don't like to acknowledge we're punching above their weight yet they out spend us.

It's called denial. What does it really say about their own Clubs? Rhetorical of course.

I wouldn't say it's even close to being a BSODL piece, mate.

All I see is about 6 minutes of reading bullshit about how poor some of our options were that remained on the pitch on Wednesday night, about 2 minutes worth of Pep/City love & Poch derision, ending with about 2 minutes of urging caution after seeing Arseanal decline as soon as they got rid of David Dean.

Either way, there was very little respect shown towards our club or our manager.

This bit, for some reason, really got under my skin..

Spurs ended the game at the Etihad with a pair of fishing waders at left-back and a carrier bag full of discounted supermarket meat playing defensive midfield.

What we ended the game with, was a bunch of fucking exhausted heroes who left every ounce of whatever they had within them on the pitch.

FUCK RIGHT OFF.

Kinda look at it differently. If city scored from a goal like lorente scored and that knocked us out - more than likely we’d be screaming an injustice, the rules ain’t clear etc

So i’m Just glad it was given for us, rather than discussing that actual incident as it did hit his arm before his hip.

Offside was offside, no doubt about it, but scoring that and the linesman not seeing it and then VAR ruling out is always going to be the talking point.
City did dominate the second game and they won that game, very fortunate of some great goalkeeping to be honest and clinical finishing and being in the right place at the right time!!

Yes, that bit irritated me also. Extremely disrespectful.

Spurs can afford to lose Kane, they can afford to lose Pochettino but they can't afford to lose Levy and it's not even close to being a BSoDL piece?
*laughs like a hyena, you can forgive anyone reading that for assuming otherwise, surely? Although TBH you're half right as I don't think that's the point of the article.

It was a comparison between the spending power of City and how much we've spent. He meant it as a compliment, to illustrate the difference in how the two clubs go about things. If anything it was a slight pop at City about who he said "The City model – vast investment and a bolt-on Barcelona hierarchy" and "You know the drill by now. City have spent £150m on defenders in the past two seasons. By comparison Spurs ended the game at the Etihad with a pair of fishing waders at left-back and a carrier bag full of discounted supermarket meat playing defensive midfield."

Nothing wrong with that really is there?, it's his way of saying they've spent gazillions, we haven't.

Either way, there was very little respect shown towards our club or our manager.
It had oodles of respect. He's complimentary, I really can't see 'very little respect' I think it's a very fair piece.

You skim read it didn't you? :D

How many chances did they create over 180 minutes? Forget all the possession and the wave after wave of attacks, what did they actually create? How many actual saves did hugo make?

In the first game he made 2 that I can remember and one of those was a penalty. In the second game I think it was 1 real save from de bruyne, and a couple of scruffy ones from Bernardo Silva and Aguero. One of their goals was deflected.

We scored 4 goals against them, 3 of which were away from home when we were under the cosh, our team seriously depleted through injury, under huge pressure.

We fully deserved to go through. We defended better than them. We were more clinical than then in attack. And when we really needed to find a way to succeed, we did.

Yes there were elements of good fortune, in success there always are, but we beat them because over 180 minutes we were the better team.
