In fairness to Dunk, at least he apologised after trying to break his leg

I've said it's not the be-all. I've also said it's pathetic to fail when they have it. It should be an absolute given. It's embarrassing to fail with that sort of money.

You said why have Moyes and Solksjaer failed - you've not backed or argued the case. They are both crap managers.

My point was money isn't everything. And tbf you mentioned Leeds spending a fortune apart from the German lad at centre back they've mainly been using last seasons team so far. Their good start is just down to having an excellent manager.

Gives Spurs a good chance to finish in top four.

Tottenham Hotspur 2 West Ham United 0 8 mins)

3-0. This brings back bad memories.

3 goal rule, back to the pub.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 4:47 pm

I bet Tarks is glad he didn't go to West Ham.

Again, you've missed the point. We can all name clubs who spent and failed. What I'm saying is those who succeeded but only because they spent. Not the other way around. Liverpool to be fair, earn their money. Man City rely on nothing, but people ******* money into the club. Leeds - rely on people pouring money into the club. They all do. We, do it the correct way.

Wet spam playing pretty well despite the scoreline.

I've got Kane as captain and Son as vice captain

Not today but a result of yesterday’s football - Virgil van Dijk injury confirmed as anterior cruciate ligament.

Hopefully Pickford can still face some kind of punishment.

Yes and will be a challenge being right for start of next season with such a major injury. Really poor challenge by Pickford.

Don’t think he can unless all of the officials confirm they saw nothing.

I’m still mystified that the assistant ref saw nothing in the assault on JBG v Sheffield United and then the Millwall player who trod on Dwight got away without any retrospective action.

GodIsADeeJay81 · Post by **GodIsADeeJay81** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 6:09 pm

That's their title challenge over,

My bet on Everton is still looking good then.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 6:12 pm

3-2. Game on.

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 6:12 pm

3-2

It’s all gone to pot since Bale came on.

West Ham score two quick goals, 3-2.

Madness

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 6:23 pm

Great comeback but really complacent from Spurs. As fantastic as Kane was, he was greedy beyond belief on a number of occasions looking for his hat trick when a pass was the better option.

They reckon he cost them the title when Leicester won it for that very reason.

He plays for himself and never he team.

Not sure how on earth you can be 3-0 up, be the best side for so long and then concede three goals from 82 minutes onwards. Funny though with it being Jose.

4 shots on target. Ouch.

Anyone slagging Kane off for that obviously knows more than me about football. He was the best player on the pitch by a mile. He’s playing a deeper role most of the time and knitting all the attacking play together. I read some guff on here but really....

Probably not good for us. Spurs will come out all guns blazing at the Turf next week now. Wouldn't have fancied being in that dressing room at full time....

Totally agree

Gareth Bale. What a waste of the taxpayers money!

bodge · Post by **bodge** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 6:56 pm

Kane is improving which is frightening tbh, a fantastic display today.

I think the only time he could be accused of being greedy today was when his shot was tipped round the post by Fabianski, he could have slipped Son in.

He worked so hard as well evidenced by a couple of crucial defensive blocks.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 7:00 pm

Fair play to West Ham, they played some good football and, more importantly, they didn't give up.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 7:00 pm

I think all the best centre forward are a bit greedy, it's just a burning desire to score goals that probably helps make them more effective. Mo Salah another example.

Jimmymaccer · Post by **Jimmymaccer** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 7:02 pm

Spurs will come out all guns next week............yep, but if we get at ‘em the Burnley way!!!!! Would love to see Jose yak his way out of that one! Anyway, Baggies next COYC!

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 7:04 pm

People talking about Kane on here as if he wouldn't get into our team: I don't like the term "world class" but he is the one player in the England team who fits that description.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 18, 2020 7:08 pm

An Escudo for Jose's thoughts after that last 8 minutes

credit to West Ham they kept plugging away and finally reaped their rewards.

Yet another weekend without a 0-0, this is old school footy, surely the madness can't continue for the entire season can it.
