What the pundits & media are saying about us

[Spurslove]

Lol at Rob green with United second.

Proves my point that these 'pundits' are as much a bunch of clueless observers as the rest of us.

Flav and Bardi have both been on it from TFC Podcast, always think they do well not to lose their shit when the likes of Ty, Robbie or the AFTV girl who marched down the high road just incessantly shout over anything they say, especially when it's usually fact based, and it was more of the same on yesterday's.

Arsenal fans really do shout the loudest except when they're actually at a game.

Yeah it's bizarre. The City, Pool, Chelsea and Arsenal sections were a good chat about whats going on with little shouting or speaking over each other. As soon as the spurs guy starts talking, Robbie and the other woman just start shouting him down.

Tried to watch it but the incessant talking over from the gooner fans I had to turn it off. Oh and why have they got 2 on the sofa.

Watched the first part of the Overlap and it's just weird that a lot of fans still aren't taking us seriously.

The format was a bit strange as well.

First ten minutes were about City, who finished 1st
Second 10 mins were about Liverpool who finished 2nd
Third 10 minutes was about Chelsea, who finished 3rd.
Fouth 10 minutes were about.....Arsenal.
Then Spurs got a whole 4 minutes which mainly consisted of Robbie banging the 1 point drum.
Next 10 mins were about Utd.

Neville did say he had us for 3rd though and possibly pushing for 2nd if one of the other 2 have a slump

I think I saw an Ep a month or so back not sure if it was The Overlap or something similar, and it was horrendous they had TY in the audience screaming no one could get a word in.

if and when the scum flop on their faces this season, it'll be a time for the ages.

they're already on the brink of desperation as i think they know deep down this is last chance saloon time. as for having a reasoned argument/discussion with any of their totally delusional fanbase, more chance of finding lord lucan in your freezer next to the frozen peas.

That must have hurt Martin Keown to put us above Woolwich.

After his NLD best combined IX (he chose all Arsenal) I'm surprised he doesn't have them down as champions.

...Robbie banging the 1 point drum...

Could you translate that, please? I've no idea who or what that refers to.

Arsenal fan saying "You only scraped 4th by one point", forgetting that we got a new manager in Nov and Kane didn't really turn up until then.

I've never understood that criticism. In sport, if you finish ahead of your competitor, you didn't scrape it, you beat them.

When someone wins the 100m by a tiny fraction of a second they never say they "scraped the win".

It's just a weird thing a lot of football fans do. Especially rival fans to each other. Anything to diminish the enemy's achievements. On the overlap Robbie is the worst one for it. I just wish he would give the spurs fan the same respect he gave the others. He'd had his 10 mins to talk about Arsenal. Now STFU and let the spurs fan speak.

Someone should tell him we "scraped it" by two points lol

I’d go the other way and it put it all down to that dodgy handball decision vs Burnley just to wind them up!*

*Even though as it was a 2 point margin and we had better GD, we’d have pipped them to 4th even with a draw vs Burnley.

We scraped it by playing Arsenal off the park

 

[double0]

Our metrics in defence and attack was better our wins total PTS was better even our COVID-19 was better.

New season begins and we go again

It's just a coping mechanism

Trying to save as much face as possible by clutching at straws. It's really not a good look.

 

[spursfan77]

Have you any evidence for that? Or is it just superstition?

Our two best seasons were the ones when everyone in the media was full of excitement and praise for Pochettino's young, energetic team.

Last season nobody on that bbc predictor had us in the top four and it happened at least once under poch.

I think proof is in the pudding. Its ok to back the coach for a window but if you are backing him in January then again in the summer and there is that certainty with Conte and Kane signing a contract - it makes people take more notice.

This year we need to progress and that also adds to things.

The Premier League, though ... It's a marathon, not a sprint.





... I'll let myself out.

The arrogance of the Man City fan was cringeworthy. Hopefully the club think it’s as east as he does because if they do they’ll come unstuck in quite a few games.
