Live Match Discussion 2025/26

[Tony Towner]

Emi Martinez injured in warm up and Bizot replaces him - this seems to happen a lot with him

Apparently he's been seen in All Bar One at New Street with Sam Johnstone

 

[Langers]

I've not really thought of Spurs as going down as realistic, their squad is too good and although I dislike him as a person, they've appointed a manager who knows what he's doing for the first 18 months at least. Lose today and it's on though

A very jammy goal wins it for Sunderland but Spurs never looked like scoring.

0-0 would have been a fair result but that's the sort of luck you have when you're on such a wretched run.

They're in deep, deep trouble and really don't look very good at all

 

[prawnking]

The fact they've got players crying on the pitch (including the captain) already, with six games to go, shows me they could well be cooked

 

[Kenny]

All Bar One

Sam's answer when asked how many shots he let in?

 

[Kenny]

Have a funny feeling they will look like a top 4 team in 2 weeks time

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

The lack of urgency in the last 5 mins from Spurs was amazing, it was like they thought it was 0-0 and were happy with the draw.

Very much going through the motions.

The problem is they'll look like Arsenal.

Im struggling to think of a comparably 'big' team as Spurs being in this position in the PL era?

Newcastle I guess, they were a top team for many seasons and then went down.

 

[Tony Towner]

There's not one in the PL era. If there is it's Villa, but Spurs are a level higher. A top 5 club in terms of size in any era at least since the 50s. Last one as big as them to go down was Spurs

 

[Jack Regan]

Yep Spurs were in the Champions League Final in 2019 so you'd probably have to go back to Man Utd getting relegated in the early 70's for a vaguely suitable comparison.

Leeds got to the Champions League semis in 2001 and we're relegated a few seasons later, but that was obviously down to their severe financial issues and having to sell their best players which most definitely doesn't apply to Tottenham.

The city v Arsenal game next weekend is going to be one of the worst games of all time

 

[Jack Regan]

City in front at Chelsea.

On a side note I don't think there's a better suited manager to the pointless half-time interview than Rosenior.

 

[Jack Regan]

Brilliant from Cherki to set up that second goal.

I think they'll take them apart particularly with the rest advantage. Comfortable 2 or 3 goal win

He’s so good. I hope that more coaches and players watch him and we can get back to players carrying the ball and expressing themselves rather than the robots we get far too often at the moment.

Like Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa did? At least it makes for an interesting game.

He’s great to watch.

Ok....they will look like a good top 4 team

Cracking touch and finish by Gheuhi too. Any striker would have been proud of it.
