*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

I didn’t get the Sky coverage today, it was quite clear that we got ahead and just sat back and defended, yet they’re going on about possession like it means something in that game scenario? Kept trying to imply Spurs fans are not happy to watch that week in week out. They came across as completely out of touch with where we are as a fan base now. I think the vast vast majority are on board with what’s going on here especially with our current fixture schedule.

Atkinson was awful as ref today, he brought it every time they fell over

He's always been like that. Doesn't matter how much of the ball you get , just fall over and you will get the free kick.
Incredible that Lo Celso got booked before that Granit tosser !
 
Apart from hugely improving our defensive organisation ( you can now see why Jose wanted to buy Toby and Dier while at Man U) he has also minimised Kane and Sons previous propensity for selfishness and has harnessed them into a wonderful partnership. Hats off on both counts.
 
That moment when a break away materialises after another perfectly timed Hojberg interception.. That’s exciting to me!

Got to the ground at 2.45pm, popped in the shop, all the staff so welcoming and friendly
Everybody had to go in via the nearest entrance to the exit of the shop, loads of staff making sure people had the QR code ready
Quick temperature check and search and in we go

Met my pal, then got in a queue for a beer and food, then we get told you can have 2 pints max per food transaction
So 2 sausage rolls and 4 pints for me and my pal and we was off to a good start, I thought you would have to have a burger, pizza etc but no
Loads of places to sit which you had to do if you had a beer

Found my seat, my pal wasn't next to me but sat/stood next to me all game

Great seats above the corner flags, again the staff were just so pleased to see everybody

Game started, great noise from all the fans, my throat is red raw already
Some great chants, Your support is fudging brick was funny

Half time, again so easy to get another beer/pie and go to the toilet

Game wise, perfect performance, they had the ball but did nothing with it, we ended up with more on target than them

After the game all the players came over, obviously happy but so professional you can see it's just one game we won
If it had have been them they would have been doing cartwheels and hanging out of car windows as thats their small time meteorology

10/10 loved it, so glad to be back HOME !!

Sounds like a brilliant afternoon. I am really hoping I get lucky in one of the ballots but it won't be the same as being there today (unless it's end of season when we lift the PL trophy, in which case it will be better!). The fans came across very loud and clear. And yes, "your support is effing sh!t" was great, even had Mr GL laughing at that one.

It'll be interesting to see how MOTD frame the performance.

The guys on the view from the Lane Podcast (which I really like) made the point that it is only the press/journalists who make this point of spurs fans not being happy with the way we play whereas as a fan base we are (I know I am) really happy with this pragmatic way of approach in the hunt for trophies. It is just newsos/journalists trying to create a story out of nothing.

The game is about glory and glory = trophies!

Hopefulluy we will start to open up against some of the "lesser teams"

We're playing some lovely stuff on the break. You won't see many goals better than Son's this season. I'd feel differently if we were playing like Graham's Arsenal side.

I agree with that 100% - when we start moving on the counter - you really feel like something is about to happen and that we can score everytime we go forward.

These games are funny in reflection - i am a bag of nerves throughout the whole thing....and the press will say tomorrow that we were in complete control

I think that the players are going through a big mentality shift and some fans need to do the same. We are now setup to play on the counter attack but we don’t need to be such a bag of nerves when the opposition team has the ball more than us because we are damn solid in defence and we are not all ‘sexy’ and going to crumble under a bit of pressure. Ok it would be lovely to play this all winning,swashbuckling pretty football for 90 minutes but that is pure fantasy and I am enjoying watching us develop into a solid unit with a more pragmatic approach that still enables to be sniper and devestating in attack given half a chance.....

We're also a team in transition and probably a little ahead of schedule, because of other clubs poor form. Hopefully, we can add to the defensive strength and find a way of breaking down teams that sit deep. If we can do that in the next couple of months, we might win the title.
