I reckon that Arsenal result is the beggining of the end for OGS at Man Utd, can see Wolves and City knocking us out of both cups in the next 2 weeks and then we have Norwich, Burnley and Liverpool in the league. What can go wrong?! :roll:

That injury has been in the post for a long time. He has played the bulk of Spurs games over the last few years as well as most of England's last summer and this season. He has been due an injury for a while. I am amazed he lasted this long without one.

Typical that Kane is out for that game, you would have beaten them with him fit. :lol:
Harry Kane out til April. Surely got to be one of the most injury-prone players of all time? And certainly the most injury-prone yet somehow regular top scorer! We did quite well last time he was out, but not sure we'll be so lucky this time

Ehhh I give you one Daniel Sturridge. Superb player, when fit, but in his entire career he has managed one season without serious/long term injury.
Honorary mention to Darren "sick note" Anderton.

Very good, I like that, and also the other nickname I've heard him given - Tampon.... 'cos he was always 1 week in, 3 weeks out :lol:
I'm not going to say Spurs should have won that game, but they certainly could have done and arguable deserved a draw. How the hell did Lo Celso miss that tap in, the angle to miss it was far narrower than that to score it. Despite the crowd's frustration, I thought Jose's tactics were bang on, you've got to know when you're second best and that's something Poch never admitted, hence the amount of games he lost 4/5/6 nil.
Everything's going Liverpool's way this season, they're doing a 2016 Leicester.

I agree, Spurs had at least a couple of great chances to score against Liverpool, but annoyingly fluffed their lines where Firmino didn't. It's the result I was expecting before kickoff, but I am at least pleased that Spurs weren't completely outplayed for the whole game, and were in fact well on top towards the end of it as Liverpool seemed to tire.
Strange old game tonight.
On the first half, Pool deserved to win, and prob by more, they were so comfortable but just couldn't finish it off. On the second half, Spurs probably deserved something as Pool got really sloppy. How yer man/Lo Celso missed that chance i will never know. That CB spuds had on debut looked half decent. You might have found a player there.
I really can't stand Jose and his joyless football though. He drags everything down and turns it into a game of chess. There is a reason you don't see TV stations fighting to show live chess. IT'S ****ING DULL.
I get that going toe to toe with this Liverpool side would probably have resulted in defeat but I couldn't watch that eye gouging shite every week. I hope for Spurs fans' sake that he doesn't do that against every decent side you play. His track record suggests he will.
A bit sad to see Eriksen getting booed when subbed. I understand why. But he has been a great player for Spurs over the years. In any other walk of life we wouldn't begrudge someone running down their contract to go and get a "better" or just different job. But in footy we some how expect players to all love our club as much as we do. Don't get me wrong if I was a Spurs fan
I would probably feel different. I wasn't impressed with Suarez flirting with any other club who showed an interest. It is just strange that we hold footballers up to different standards than we would hold ourselves or our work colleagues up to. In our day to day lives 90% of us would leave our current jobs if we were offered £10k a year more for the same roll in a different company. Yet we expect footballers who are offered £10k+ a week more, often at bigger/better clubs, to turn it down. Or to sign a new contract so our club can get a transfer fee. It is weird.
Though I freely admit I can't hear Steve McManaman's voice without being reminded of him doing a Bosman at Pool, and I did laugh at Emre Can not making Juve's CL squad. Us football fans are weird.
