    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Ah yeah, I get it mate. I've said it before but one of my best match going days was the abject 3-0 defeat to Chelsea under Nuno the day Jimmy Greaves died. Not for the game. Afterwards, I went to the Number 8 and a bunch of us, pretty much complete strangers, just drank, sang and danced the...

    Except Tottenham where our highest point in 40 years resulted in nothing but glorious failure while our lowest point resulted in a trophy. What a club…

    Because it was about as violent as a kiss on the cheek.

    He only injured himself though. Parker and Charles were, very luckily and no thanks to Gazza, fine.

    Cristian Romero

    Was hardly a kick to the chest. It was petulant and stupid in equal measure but we’re not talking Gazza on Garry Parker or De Jong in the World Cup final. It was no more than a yellow card all day long.

    Jesus mate. Fair play. Love hearing stories like that of people doing something brilliant despite being dealt the bricktiest of hands. Hope everything is okay healthwise now.

    It's a bit complicated but the likelihood is that they won't.

    I agree 100%. I'd have been happy for us to have continued without VAR but the constant moaning about refs by media, players & managers and the money involved in football meant that VAR was inevitable IMO. You're right in your second paragraph but what VAR does for the subjective decisions is...

    Yeah, pretty much.

    You're expecting perfection when it's impossible. Some decisions are subjective so it's not a case of reviewing it until you get it right or wrong - there isn't a definitive answer in many cases, just an opinion. See Liverpool's second goal on Saturday. See Bentancur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine. If we start...

    VAR isn't corrupt. In fact, IMO, it removes the possibility of corruption because a ref now isn't the sole one making the decisions and ridiculous decisions are scrutinised and corrected. In days gone by, corrupt referees could get away with it much easier ("ah sorry, I just missed it").

    Think you're being harsh. If you're a ref, I'd assume the natural inclination would be to err on the side of caution for a poor tackle in a non-dangerous area (unless it's a real leg breaker). Likewise, I'd imagine that they're more likely to send someone off later in a game than the first...

    Offsides make up a massive part of the VAR calls and they aren't even slightly subjective. There is a huge amount of subjectivity in a lot of decisions. Bentancur's foul at Saudi Sportswashing Machine? Laughable decision for me but there is an argument they got it right. Second goal on Saturday? Foul all day for...

    Accept what? There is an element of subjectivity in a lot of these decisions and where you have subjectivity, you'll get different answers depending on who you ask. Some fans seem to expect perfection but that isn't possible. I know VAR is a problem is many ways (the long waits, the thought of...

    I think you've answered your own question @thfcsteff. When I first watched it, I thought "clumsy tackle, definite yellow". When I watched it back I thought "that's a red in today's game". For the ref, he has a fraction of a second to see it on the pitch so it may not have registered how bad a...

    I got to the point this time last year where I was much heavier than I'd ever been. Sort of got to the point of "you either keep going or do something about it". Three things made me choose the latter. I'm getting married next month, I play over 35s football, absolutely love it and could feel...

    Christmas Day

    I absolutely love Christmas but my Christmas this year is like something out of EastEnders. When I was young, Christmases were a real family affair with all my dad's family. Unbelievable memories. Sadly, most of the family have passed including my parents. I'm divorced and my ex has the kids...

    He does have better hair to be fair although being at Spurs for much longer may fix that.

    I really hope you're right but I don't see Saturday as a turning point. To me, it was a nothing game in the overall scheme of things. Frank gets a pass because of the red cards. Ultimately, we lost a game against the poorest Liverpool side I've seen in a decade and a half with extenuating...
