    People act like all chances have been offside which is ridiculous, if Spurs finished half the good onsite chances it’s a win. They saw the game out cleverly, it’s not always the better team that wins, but that doesn’t mean it was smash and grab.

    Not seeing the Spurs players bring out their kids for a victory lap after a dodgy result anymore, really makes you fall out of love with football 💔

    The amount of Spurs fans wishing Matty Cash serious injury and even cancer in their sub is disturbing but not surprising. Just spent 10 minutes reporting 30+ accounts for threatening violence. 1 ban already came through, hopefully many more.

      Especially when it was such a nothing tackle. He was late and it was a foul but hardly malicious.

      He’s a dirty player that has injured a number of players. Of course he’s hated.

      The cancer thing is beyond childish but I don’t think redditors have that ability.

    I like Postecoglu, but I’m gonna be a spurs hater for the rest of the season after the way the first match with Liverpool went.

    So this was nice.

    Almost as if when we lost 4 or 5 key starters and had to play the same old culprits under our previous managers, we start playing seeing the same problems.

      Villa is down 4 regulars as well, all 4 would be starters at least every other fixture at worst. (Mings, Buendia, Moreno and then Ramsey made his return today but isn’t fully fit yet which is why they gave him the late sub).

      Zaniolo was also out today for an unknown injury

      Don’t see us whining about it every damn second

    In Defence of Ange though, I will say his football actually makes watching spurs intriguing when you compare it to the last 4-5 abysmal years.

    They’ll look really good when they have all their players back, Son looks a mess without Kane / Maddison.

    Played well but needed a little luck. I enjoyed the game at least.
