We’ve got Brighton at home on Saturday the 16th, 3 o clock kick off. A game we’ll likely lose (Mitoma and Co must be itching to get stuck into a central defensive pairing of Harry Maguire and Johnny Evans). I can imagine things will get a bit lively. Not that the Glazers dare come anywhere near Old Trafford, obviously

You got it half right, they loved getting stuck into Lindelof and Martinez 😂

Some late surprises, Spurs looked doomed then get a win, Villa as well, there's about 8 teams fighting for the top 4 this season early on, yeah the usual ones will drop off, but they're all taking points off each other now!

Incredible!  I was at NWHL today and wow! I reckon motd tonight is Worth a watch. That was exciting! I've never heard such a loud noise as when we scored the winner! Crowd went insane and staid that way for 10 minutes after full time! Ended with Robbie and Angels.   Something different and exciting is happening at spurs this season, we still have lots of faults but they are different. They had real desire! The effort just to beat Sheffield United and the joy! Was a full 11 man plus subs hug at the corner flag for the winner.  Maddison, sarr and bissouma look a great middle and when richarlison came on it felt like a team they had real fight.  I was also very very excited by brennan Johnson,  he will score a lot of goals.   Now let's see if we can upset the Woolwich!

@argee - the only positives I can take, yet again,  are Mrs Binners winnings

“we’re going to get battered by Brighton today. I can see it coming”

”yeah, course you are, but the odds are still 3/1 so obviously I’ve stuck a good few quid on it”

Marital bliss, eh? I just wish she didn’t laugh so hard when Brighton got their third. Mind you… if she didn’t, then that could be deemed as sympathy, or pity, and that’s even worse

Good win for Reading which goes a small way towards revenge for THAT 1995 playoff.

Spurs are doing well, hated seeing Ange leave us, but looks like he's doing similar there that he did up in Scotland, today's game reminded me of a couple of the things that made him special for us, teams don't stop fighting until the whistle, and it's all about the team, not individuals. Long way to go, but it'll be interesting to see how they do this season, other top teams seem a bit disjointed, Newcastle tonight were lucky, they've not done that well this year, Villa seem a bit hit and miss as well, ManU and Chelsea are all over the place, with Man City looking like winners already, as you just know Liverpool and Arsenal will go through bad spells.

Absolutely argee! I have never seen a spurs team fight like that. There's something very different,  emotional and gritty.   I mean Poch got them to play to the end,  I'll never forget the cl semi 2nd leg at ajax, but it felt at times like a few players were true controlled aggression....*s who'd willingly * someone proper,  (Romero and Sarr) and they had the whole team as a unit ready to tie to toe with Sheffield.  Richy is always full of heart so the last few minutes with him on... it felt like he'd score or get sent off.  Very intense, we could all sense it and the outpouring from crowd and players when the winner went in was incredible!  I know we are still full of faults,  still barely even wip, but it feels special at spurs now.

Pleeeeease let's take that to Woolwich!

And yeah sorry.  Levy still awaits a£1Bn naming rights deal so we aren't yet the Nike stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium might be the official name for now,  but to us is still the lane, the new WHL.

To be fair he also awaits putting something in the trophy cabinet too.

Great performance against Man U today. First 15 minutes we had to weather a bit of a storm but after Welbeck’s goal there was only one team in it IMO. All that with 6 changes from the side that beat the Geordies.
Then Thursday night we’re at home in our very first European game against AEK Athens. I can’t ****ing wait. Still pinching myself a bit.

Played us off the park, to be fair. Could easily have been 5-1.

We’re absolutely ****ing awful, but surely Brighton are looking to be challenging for what is now top 5 for the Champions League? On the strength of that you’ll easily finish above us. I can see us being good for about 10th if we’re lucky. One thing United continue to deliver is when you think it can’t get any worse, it can

We’ve got Bayern next week. I bet they can’t bloody wait!

Beauty of the Premier League, giant clubs aren't always the form teams. Unlike every other major league.

@caher Have you seen who allegedly wants to put money into the club.

Move over the Saudis, FSG, the Glazers, Cashley.......

UCL group stages seem as dull as ever, so many predictably one sided games. Can we just skip to the quarter finals please.

I’m worried that the most one-sided game might well be tomorrow night in the Allianz Arena

I’m not sure I can bear to watch it. We’re going to get absolutely humped!

I’m sure my darling wife will stick a bet on Bayern as it’s effectively free money, but it’s hardly worth it with odds of 1.4/1

The article describes him as a chancer - probably says it all really.

I'm going for a Harry Kane dive after 7 minutes, he's playing in the right league to perfect it.

@caher

Have a gander at the Rich Energy thread on here - chancer is putting it mildly.

Seemed Bayern just massively took their foot off the pedal. Looked like 2 fallen giants past their best.

Yeah they could have upped it for sure. United huffing and puffing. Poor defensively I guess they’re hoping Amrabat stiffens up the midfield as Eriksen and Casemiro don’t have the legs anymore, ok Eriksen probably never did.

Looks like the Berkshire sleeping giant has fallen asleep again. Big loss and already in the relegation zone.

Good day for us Tractor boys, a decent if nervy win taking us second in the table and Norwich getting spanked

Looks like Raya is Arteta’s number one then - three games on the spin. Brutal on Ramsdale!

The was an amazing save! Not a bad problem to have for Arteta, which of those two keepers to play?

Some game this.

Both teams - pace, overlapping players on the wing, instant crosses into the area with players attacking the area. Almost like 1990s again.

2-2 at the end, great game, not sure i'm able to comprehend a Spurs team that aren't super negative and surviving off freekicks and penalties.

Chelsea continue their form, another home loss, it's going to be a long season for Pochetino by the looks of it!
