Well that was 2 hours I can’t get back. Tottenham very poor, flat, lack lustre. In fact lucky not to get beat.
Let’s hope Eriksen comes back, he’s top quality

Why would he want to trade down ?
 
Disappointed we couldn't rain on Bournemouth's parade and win the championship but still confident it'll happen. Mitrovic now one away from tying the record of goals in a season. Very surprised by the Arsenal result but well done to them and pleased to see Fernades miss the penalty. City did their goal difference some good but expecting Liverpool to score lots tomorrow

Tottenham were absolutely shocking tonight, matched their top to be fair ?
Brentford should of won and Eriksen is still superb ?

I agree re Erikson. MOTM for me. But Brentford certainly closed down any of the (rare) attacks Tottenham had. They definitely need a 'link' player who can connect the abundent possesion they get, through to Son/Kane, even if not for an actual goal-scoring opportunity - as they can create their own!
 
I went to see Woking beat Wrexham 2-1 with a stirring 2nd half performance.
The atmosphere was superb and the view of the whole pitch gave me a much better perspective of the game.
No replays : bad.
No VAR : good.
Players still dive far too much and the officiating is pretty poor, but you just can't beat the experience of a good win against all the odds.
I've also realised that it hasn't given me a 'holier than thou' attitude and I haven't become all sanctimonious and pompous.
'Telly clappers' are still okay in my eyes.

Oh, Woking's second goal was superb.

If diving was punished by Yellow card, it would stop within a very short time! Unfortunately, it would likely have to done across all of Europe at least, so unlikely to ever be eliminated!

Just catching up on MOTD and the arsenal man utd game.... Can't believe MU didn't get at least 2 more penalties (the hand ball and 2nd challenge on elanga, the first one was not enough for me), also can't believe Fernandes didn't get a straight red, like he should have done at anfield. Maybe he's the new fernandinho.

Entertaining game though.
 
Hurrah - have effectively confirmed our play-off place. Only Middlesborough can thwart us but it requires them to win everything and needs a highly improbable turn around in goal difference. And we could still gain, albeit unlikely, automatic promotion. Our game v Bournemouth will be very interesting ...

Can they still review bad tackles, increase to a red card etc even though VAR reviewed it? I can't understand how that was not upgraded to a red, it was obvious and nasty.

I don’t think Fernandinho was dirty in a sense of hurting players, he was consistent in stopping play. He was that cute he could do it three or four times before ref’s found there yellow cards. It was that what rankled fans that he was not yellow carded sooner. The challenges Fernades has put in, if they were on him we could see a new record for a decibel scream and continuous rolls.

Fernandes is by far the worst for writhing around on the floor pretending to be injured.
