Thats not what she said lol, she said it's a good job it wasn't the first game of the day or she'd be gone for the second one

I quoted her selectively .

She was still scoring a point.

Superb again. I just dunno where people are getting that we’re boring to watch. Second most goals in the league, we had more shots on target today for all of Sky’s huffing.

I really enjoy watching us play when we’re like that tbh. How can you not enjoy a game plan perfectly executed? It’s when we’re aimless I hate it.

Everyone busting their nuts inbetween some absolute worldly goals is my kind of boring

Mate, it's my round. What you having?

What a lovely day x

Maybe an Arsenal on the rocks. I'll drink to that.

We've just played Man C, Chelsea, and Arsenal and haven't conceded a goal. On top of that Hugo has only really needed to stretch himself 2 or 3 times.

Great defensive displays and I'm loving it.

 

[TheChosenOne]

We are a work in progress we have pretty well perfected the defending we are pretty well perfect on the counter attack so now we can develop different strategies. We are two years behind Liverpool and City in our development and can't buy a new team like Chelsea so we'll get even better.

It's also worth remembering Arsenal's success was built on boring boring Arsenal.

1980's Liverpool was often about 80 something minute 1-0 wins at Anfield

Could only have been sweeter if the bottom 3 picked up wins to drop them closer to trouble.... It could never happen but just imagine!!

 

[Flobadob]

Well Terry won under Ancelotti, Benitez and Di Matteo to, so it's hard to say. Also did well for England.

One things for sure he owes Jose a lot, and hopefully Dier is next.

True. I do think his absolute peak was under Mourinho though. Though that Chelsea team were incredible in general

We beat City, draw with Chelsea away and then beat Arsenal and go back to top of the league....spurs fans "but we defend too much and dont attack non stop...i dont like how we play"

This is why we cant have nice things.

The only critique I have is that I'd like to see us improve at playing through the opponent's press. We're so clinical when we get into good counter attacking situations, if we could just get there more often we'd be unstoppable.

However (unlike some) I love the idea of playing defensive football and being very hard to beat. Definitely the best way to win imo.

I do have some concern about what happens when kane/son get injured. enjoying this, though.

My condolences are with @Spurs 1961

In 22 games against Arsenal, Mourinho has only lost twice. Won more than half of them

Sister Bliss knows her shit. Lawro gets lucky every now and then.

 

[Flobadob]

Good point as Jose does leverage his player's strengths. Can't go quite that far with Dier though. Defensively he has been generally strong but he has had some terrible passes coming out of the back.

Yeah he did but I’m talking more about his defensive performance. He’s been the kind in-traversable mountain Mourinho has built the spine of his teams on in the past. So so solid

 

[weststandyid]

That DT prick needs proper help, flying in to a rage and stomping his feet like he’s a toddler. Gives it the big man too, your tattoos don’t make you tough when we’ve seen you stomping your feet and crying after letting a goal in. Utter waste of space, should be mortified to be acting like that in public let alone being filmed doing so

this is genuinely disgusting. we've got enough of them, too.

 

[thebenjamin]

Calcio.

To be fair man I busted my nut over that Son goal, let alone between it! ?

Most miserable boring game I ever watched was a cup game at White Hart Lane Liverpool went one up and killed the rest of the game, God it was awful, it was in the days of passing back to the keeper and he could pick it up. I'm almost sure Liverpool was the reason they changed that rule.

Meanwhile we are still top of the league.?

Just on way home - what a day. Firstly so lucky to be there -it was incredible and honestly you could just feel the joy from the fans and players. Secondly what a team performance. They all left everything out there.
When the time comes for you all just go regardless of the game - 2000 ecstatic people feel like 20000 and you’ll be buzzing afterwards.
