      I say that because they don't spend a shitload of money like City. There is not a huge amount of media hype around them like mancs. They have a decent history unlike Chavs, and they are not a bunch of self entitles sissy boys like Arsenal. And I have always liked underdogs. They have just been going about their football without a lot of noise and slowly but surely climbing up the ladder. That's just something that I appreciate about football teams.

      Wouldn’t say there’s not been a lot of noise from them, for the last 10 years they’ve thought themselves to be better than Arsenal but only recently started finishing above them whilst Arsenal have still been winning more trophies. Not forgetting the embarrassing excuses they were pulling out about missing out on 4th on the final game or something and basically said they were deliberately food poisoned and sabotaged one year.

      Can’t stand them to be honest. They don’t really have any good cup runs, they have challenged for the league once in however long and think they are entitled to a title race now and a load of other success that they continually fail to achieve. Just another Arsenal of a few years ago but without the FA Cups IMO.

      I agree, their make shift defence cost them. Thought a draw or even 1-0 to Spurs would have been a fair scoreline.

      And how sh*t  did  Pulisic play?!?!



      He looks sh*te the whole season I think all that hype went to his head.

      Still very young but he's going to the worst possible club to advance his career.

      Pulisic been kept out of the team most of the season by Sancho.
      Not sure why people were still saying LFC should have gone after Pulisic.
      Sancho on the other hand would be ideal. (and bloody expensive)

      I actually agree, it pains me to say it but I have to admire the team spurs have put together with a 0 nett spend. Obviously helps having a manager who can get the most out of his squad. But I definitely dislike them them the least out of the top 6 teams.

      That being said they're still winning F**k all this season.

      Bottlers :D

      As I’m from London - spurs fans are the biggest bunch of cu*ts going. They think they’re Barcelona. Self entitled douchebags.

      But can’t argue with that result and performance. Top notch.

      Didn't see that Spuds result coming, almost a dead rubber now that one.

      And didn't know anything about Vinicius for RM, they might be missing Ronaldo, but they look determined and in a run of form.

      Very good result for Spurs but I'm unsure if that points more to Dortmund being a bit overhyped and sh*t, and by extension Bayern who are below them in the league, or Spurs having a great game.

      The Ajax Real game was a good game to watch, if Ajax were just a bit more clinical in their finishing then they would have won that at a canter. F***ing Real though scoring with every chance they get, they are so professional and arrogant with this but I really can't see then getting far in the CL this year, hope we meet them and knock them F**k out, in Ramos case literally!

      Courtois with a howler but Ref as per the instructions from UEFA for RM and Barca let’s them off the hook.

      There are no such instructions. The right decision was made. If a goal is not legit, it doesn't stand in the European Cup anymore.

      Interestingly, the ref of that game was the same ref of our home game v Napoli.

      Was it this stage the Mancs were sent packing last year?

      They've not won a CL knockout round since 10/11 I read.

      Even if you think so, I suggest you get used to it, because that's the way it's going to be from now on. It's our turn next week. 

      Both the Dutch and Spanish leagues now use it so that justice is done, and it was in this case. It's never going back to how it was before. If it isn't legit, it doesn't count.

      But that's the point

      That wasn't really a foul. It took a couple of replays to see what they were looking for.. initially people thought it was for offside
      I ended up saying to my lad he's looking at a foul on the keeper which it never was until you slow it down, take it out of context and convince yourself there is something there

      All it gives is the refs to give a poor decision this time by video

      I understand it is going to be used but to look at every goal to see if there's a reason to disallow it is wrong
      Courtois wasn't even claiming a foul

      It should he used for the obvious clanger

      The only obvious clanger in that one was disallowing it

      Case in the utretch v psv game last weekend, ref made two decisions,  one which he didn't check with the video after talking to var and a second where he didn't give a penalty to utretcht after an incident he checked on the screen where he judged that contact was accidental.  Ref came out after the game to explain his decisions which is unheard of on this country. The dutch fa said they disagreed with both decisions

      Every goal has to be checked. Just as every try in rugby is checked, and every wicket in cricket is checked, as well as numerous other sports. The goalkeeper/defence doesn't have to claim anything, the video will clear any issue up.  It takes a bit of time sometimes, but it's worth it in the long run.

      Most of the complaints about this call here and elsewhere, are because it was in favour of RM. Another poster said it was an "instruction from UEFA", when it wasn't. The camera makes no distinction whether it's Real Madrid or Ragball Rovers, it allows a VAR to make a correct decision, after seeing all the evidence. Rosetti has told his refs to check all VAR issues on screen, before making the decision, even offsides. There's serious prestige and revenue at stake in this competition, so they can't afford to get a major call wrong. The incident in this case was judged as offside and from the replay, it looks correct to me.

      When you stop reading, you don't find things out. Every wicket in cricket is checked. Without going into the technicalities for those who don't understand it, everything is checked from no ball deliveries to run outs, to ensure everything is correct, as per the laws of the game.

      It's true that VAR takes something away from our sport. Diving, cheating, wrong decisions, and lost points. Whether I like it or not is not important, we "need" it to cut the crap out of our sport for good.

      Our turn is on Tuesday. The fans who can go to the game are aware and understand that any major decision can be changed until the game restarts. It won't stop them going or celebrating the goals that are valid. And when the game is over, they will leave knowing that there's no issue with said goals, and justice was done.

      Absolutely not

      Each team has two umpire referrals. Only then if they choose to use one is anything checked
      And technically only what they appeal is checked.
      First a front foot no ball is checked and then their appeal. If you listen they always say checking for (whatever)

      If no challenge is made or they're out of challenges then no check is done

      So for example if they are out of challenges and someone is out lbw but the decision is wrong then it wouldn't get overuled regardless as it not checked. And even if it checked (it's not) then it wouldn't be overturned as it stays with the on field umpires decision

      Every wicket in cricket is not checked

      So yeah I stopped reading
