First draw for spurs this season.. Slightly crazy. Still feel you played better before Kane came back.

everything went worse for arsenal after Ozil came on. We were cruising before that point.

I'm not saying it was all his fault. But it was the biggest substitution, for our goalscorer Ramsey.

Nervy match, very happy with the performance, result could have been better, would have preferred 3 points but take the 1.

Goodison was rocking Grin

Atkinson was awful and Arsenal can have Walcott back.

Nah, we're good, thanks.

Wow. Just WOW.

It's the sort of thing we used to do. We're just doing it again. Next up Arsenal. Again. You must hate the sight of Man Utd.

MrPan · 07/03/2019 14:22

And you can have Sanchez back. You sold a dud.

No, we swapped him for Mikhitaryan. Who is now playing very well for us. " There's no-one as Irish as Mick O'Taryan"

Ha! Good one.

Stupid scenes at Birmingham earlier.

Wonderful scenes at Arsenal last night.

Our reward is a quarter-final tie against Napoli. Tough.

Ross Barkley clapping the fans who were booing him wont do him any favours.

Glad Chelsea lost to Everton. Arsenal have the easiest last few games. If Spurs don't seriously really pull their socks up, they will miss out on Champions League. I think there is a good chance they will fluff it up. When I say this to Dh, fervent Spurs fan, he says I'm being "negative". I call it 'realism'!! Grin

Very very glad that James Ward-Prowse has been called up for England. Gutted that he scored against us the other day though!!

WhiteHartLane · 18/03/2019 12:30

It will be tight for Spurs, Arsenal and Utd have been on top form. I am nervous but hopeful of top 4 we have the players to do it - must be more clinical in front of goal and Toby really needs to play every game where possible.

Good weekend for football, Chelsea losing and the awful Millwall knocked out the cup. A point for Gillingham against Luton too, keeps them out of trouble for another week.

Yes that Millwall result was hilarious.

Not fussed about Top 4. Just don't see with the way we're playing that we wouldn't just drop into Europa from the group stage anyway. So might as well start where we mean to go on.

Police and that must be glad with the Millwall result. The whole VAR thing is daft. If going to have it in some FA cup games should have it at all. Regardless of what league they're in.

Good result for England last night.

Good win for England 5-0 Czech.

And lacklustre win for Ireland 1-0 Gibraltar.

And Norn Iron are playing Belarus at the moment.

Very happy blue here, that first half performance was the best this season.
Two wins and two clean sheets in a row UTFT!

Huddersfield is relegated with 6 games to go.

Focused on Brexit, I hadn't realised we are so close to the end of the season. Only two home games left!

I don't think I've seen poorer refereeing all
Season.
THIS is why not one ref from the PL went to the World Cup. They are an absolute SHAMBLES

Yea, I'm a Cardiff fan. And I'm bloody gutted

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 31/03/2019 17:17

I hope Warnock doesn't get pulled up for those comments cause he is right in all he said. Especially as it can mean so much for the club position and the refs/linesmen trot onto the next game.

Much as glad to see us win very undeserved and do think Sarri has lost the plot

Oblomov19 · 03/04/2019 21:02

Dh is at Spurs. First game st their new stadium. Son has just scored. Hoorah!!

Oblomov19 · 03/04/2019 21:07

The Cardiff referring was disgraceful. I bet you warnock will get in trouble. But he shouldn't, he said it how it was!!
How can you not like warnock?

I keep teasing Dh that spurs will be Europa in their new stadium, If they're not careful, which he takes absolute umbrage at. but I'm telling him/you: it's a real risk!!

WhiteHartLane · 04/04/2019 18:23

Very jealous of your DH oblomov. Stadium looks fantastic. Very happy Son was the player to score first, he has been, imo, the best player for Spurs this season.

Warnock will not face further action and rightly so. I am hoping Cardiff stay up, they have fought very hard in a lot of their games.
