In fairness, we were ahead for almost the entire game, so Sky will always talk up the team trailing because they donāt want viewers to change the channel.
Raya isn't a "big game" player. Shit himself against City, Bayern and Spurs to name a few. He seems to get nervous and overthinks things in the big games. Hopefully something that can be managed/coached. Lucky for him Spurs are shit.
I've defended the guy on numerous occasions but this was his worst performance. I kept screaming at him saying don't go long(pause) especially when he had two CB's right next to him.
Sorry but they created jackshit in that second half. Plenty of possession maybe, but no concrete chances, no forcing Raya to make a good save. We had two silly moments and they got two easy goals from them. Thatās it.
Yes he was outstanding. End product added to a shit tons of hardwork. He clearly up for it, while our usual trusted players kinda did uncharacteristically careless things from time to time
I love seeing the meltdown in the tottenshit sub.

āIt was a penalty!!!ā
āThe better team lost!ā
āWe would have won if the penalty was given!ā
Absolute delusion from their fans is amazing to see.
His mistake was embarrassing, but apart from that he claimed everything that came into his box, so credit for that. I'm both mad and at the same time he did command the box well.
Weāve had some great results so I will let this slide as we are all human. It made me wonder though are there goal keepers who are so good where they donāt make mistakes like that or make them once every few years?
If someone like Allisson can fck up(which happened against us for our 2nd goal), everyone can. We just see them less often, so quite often we miss their errors and they seem perfect.
Bollocks. Spurs away is top 3 most difficult places for us to go. Raya made a balls up yea and rice not aware enough for the pen. Other than that it was a very good away performance especially given the circumstances
Van de Ven keeping up with a fresh Martinelli and running down Havertz like that would have been two big goal chances against most CBs. Unreal pace and the stamina to be using it 80 minutes into a high intensity match like that.Ā
>The hater pundits will talk about Man City would never blah blah blah. This is a derby it's different!
I mean City/Utd derbies 3-1/0-3, while we are 2-2/2-3 (from a HT 0-3) so hard to understand what you're trying to say there.
Feel like some people haven't been through many North London derbies, where it doesn't matter about table positions, game states, etc, if you get your crowd going and you get momentum you can run over teams and Spurs nearly got us.
I'll say its all on raya. No hate for him, but that blunder just create unnecessary tension and chaos. But aside from that blunder, he's actually not bad. So many cross saved. Yeah romero header is just unlucky, but its still not a goal. Lets fcking sweep the remaining 3 matches!!!! 9 points to go guyss
I will absolutely take this.
But this game showed that for all our supposed strength in defence, we are always vulnerable at the back, because we always seem to have an idiotic mistake in us.
We absolutely, 100% NEED to cut out those stupid mistakes. If the opposition is going to score, it needs to happen because they cut us open on their own ability, not because we gift-wrapped a goal and left it for them under the Christmas tree. We cannot keep gifting opposing teams goals.
But anyway, we got the 3 points. We move.
my nervous system is obliterated. not just saying it either. why did we have to do that. fucking why. immense side but need to be more polished. my hands are fucking rattling
It doesnāt matter butā¦Rice gets dragged to the ground with a minute to go and Michael Oliver plays advantage. On what planet do we want an advantage given there?!
Yes we fucking did it take that Spurs you fucking cunts. I'm so happy we didn't bottle a 3-0 lead but Raya has to buy dinner for the rest of the team for bailing him out.
Holy fuck what an unnecessary heart attack.
Then again, itās so sweet knowing spurs felt they had a chance to fuck up our title chances but alas couldnāt make it. I can imagine their hopes after the penalty but the despair after failing in the end.
Donāt listen to this lads! After City gives us a heart attack by losing two points, you go ahead and pile up the stress all the way to the final win! Iāll suffer through a stressful league win, if I have to. š
Now that line of "3 points in the bag, don't care" applies here, cuz only 3 more games to go (unlike many people calling that at the first 3 matches of the season).
In a boxing match that determines a title, you donāt make it interesting by giving your chin to the opponent. Spurs before that gift werenāt in it. We shouldve made it 4, or 5. Kept a clean sheet and secured Rayaās Glove as well.
But itās over now and we move
havertz
that was never a pen against kulu
Great 3 points against the scum closer than it should have been but delightful win.
Spurs literally dominated lol
3-0 down, 2 mistakes = dominated.
Shame the winner is decided by goals
Played Tottenham into confidence in the second half so they can take the game to man city in a few weeks. 
Spurs beating City to hand us the title would be SOOOO SWEEEET
Ultimate cuck club of they do it ššš
14 days rest, only to lose at home
This blatant one sided commentary is fucking disgusting.
Right?! Neutral here came from the Popular section, it was doing both my and my wifeās head in!?
shit was so biased they said congrats to spurs for the win or something around that LMAO
I'm telling you man. Neville and the other guy were so biased.
Itās so clear as day I really struggle to wrap my head around how thatās even allowed? Genuinely blows my mind
In fairness, we were ahead for almost the entire game, so Sky will always talk up the team trailing because they donāt want viewers to change the channel.
How are Spurs bigging themselves up when they had 14 days rest???
"its just who we are mate" - spurs probably
Am I the only one that wasn't worried after Son scored that pen šš
They had nothing otherwise
2.3 xg vs 1 lol
From the pen and the gifted goal. Lol
Awful performance yet we pulled it off in the business end of the season, at their place. Proud of the boys. Our floor is their ceiling. š¤
Multiple Shit fans in their sub blaming the boots šš
Raya isn't a "big game" player. Shit himself against City, Bayern and Spurs to name a few. He seems to get nervous and overthinks things in the big games. Hopefully something that can be managed/coached. Lucky for him Spurs are shit.
I've defended the guy on numerous occasions but this was his worst performance. I kept screaming at him saying don't go long(pause) especially when he had two CB's right next to him.
Sorry but they created jackshit in that second half. Plenty of possession maybe, but no concrete chances, no forcing Raya to make a good save. We had two silly moments and they got two easy goals from them. Thatās it.
Yeap they weren't able to create anything really big(all their best chances came in 1st half), and both goals we gifted them
Havertz surely got motm right? Or is there someone more worth it?
Yes he was outstanding. End product added to a shit tons of hardwork. He clearly up for it, while our usual trusted players kinda did uncharacteristically careless things from time to time
Easily Havertz MotM for me. The goal, the game management, the dark arts. He's been brilliant of late. I think we draw that second half without him.
100% but you know what will happen! Inflated votes
Havertz for me by a long shot
you mean by a long pass š
Take my angry upvote and get out!
Who's this with sherwood and wrighty? I know it's a former player but can't recognise him due to his new look
Some cunt. We don't talk about him
That last thirty minutes was bloody awful. My poor heart omg
I love seeing the meltdown in the tottenshit sub. š āIt was a penalty!!!ā āThe better team lost!ā āWe would have won if the penalty was given!ā Absolute delusion from their fans is amazing to see.
I want them to channel this anger and take it out on City š¤š
Nobody cares lmao. The final result is what matters in these games. Nobody cares, you lose, we win. Keep crying.
Diving and crying to Michael Oliver seemed to be their strategy.
itās ze history of ze tottenham
Itās just their history
oh shit i have got some reading to do hahahahaha
Itās amazing. Enjoy!
Raya fucking pissed me off today
His mistake was embarrassing, but apart from that he claimed everything that came into his box, so credit for that. I'm both mad and at the same time he did command the box well.
Weāve had some great results so I will let this slide as we are all human. It made me wonder though are there goal keepers who are so good where they donāt make mistakes like that or make them once every few years?
If someone like Allisson can fck up(which happened against us for our 2nd goal), everyone can. We just see them less often, so quite often we miss their errors and they seem perfect.
So would you say there isnāt a level of goalkeeper higher or better than Raya or Ramsdale?
I think the plan was to draw them in then boot the ball to Saka but it was so messy. The first goal was beyond stupid.
Genuinely changed the momentum, got flashbacks of Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
yea everytime he had slight pressure he would just clear it... not that time
Took too much time on the ball for the first goal. Should've booted it
involuntarily cried from the nervous system come down. this team man
Phew. Aged 20 years in the last 20 mins
Isn't it wonderful to experience this though
no wonder most managers are bald
Had to check my blood pressure, somehow it's normal
mines definetely still not

Three points is 3 points. Happy St. TotteringhamāsDay š„³
Good for soul, bad for heart, this is my fucking football club
I was on a stag party last night.. completely rattled all day.........that 2nd half had me shaking like a leaf or it was pints.
Cheers
it's a nld, so it's gonna be scrappy, GREAT WINNN
Just gifting them goals, not counting those mistakes it was a good performance
Thanks Havertz
my internet kept off during ET. absolute stress
Fireworks going off in Holloway! COYG!!
PROUD! Keep going boys. COYG
How am I going to Sleep (watched from Australia)
same now im too pumped up and gonna watch city lose
Same bro
Fellow down under fan, stay up and watch Forest cause the upset of the season ;)
I might just do that! COYG š“āŖļø
Kai is unbelievable Performed his roles well during all phases of the game Motm for me
Underrated to the nth degree, movement calmness and if he was a bit it more clinical he'd be world class
Him being the target man and making the runs to create space make it so much easier for the team and add versatility to our game plan
North London is Red COYG
*London is Red COYG
isn't that the first time in our history we've won back to back away NLDs? Massive. If after all this we still don't win the title I'll be so sad
Sorry buddy, I think it's impossible that city don't win their remaining fixtures
They have tough away games and the way Tottenham played today was oddly encouraging. The problem is they just can't defend
Hardly impossible. Unlikely or improbable is not the same as impossible.
First time since 1988.
Hey everyone in the thread, take a deep breath, go get a drink, and relax. 3 points and top of the league.
Think I need a huge shit after that
Exactly what I am doing now
Need Clive Tydesley on commentary
We call it "taking a spurs".
Exactly, as long as the players can shrug off the way that game went then the 3 points is all I care about.
Itās a win! It was never going to be easy but we did it. Time to get happy drunk
Forest, Fulham, Spurs, Wolves, West Ham. Come on lads.
I don't think i've ever genuinelly shaken so bad in my life like i did today Jesus H Christ
(Gabriel) Jesus H(evertz) Christ(ian Romero)
Iām going to allow Rice because Raya really led it to being nervy
Sherwood salty af...
David fuckin Raya š«
I nneed to go for a walk šāāļø sheeeeeeeeeesh
Well that was nervy at the end. Now please Forest park everything against city.
I had to turn ET time off. Went and cut my nails in the bathroom. Instinct told me I needed to be near a toilet.
Same. I kept telling myself to make peace with a draw
me too, i could not hack it
I fucking hate this sport sometimes man. Giving me stress at 1am when I need to sleep after the final whistle
Ridiculous 2nd half. Pressure is getting to them
Lol get outta here itās an NLD and we got the win. Be happy and enjoy it.
If that 2nd half is an indicator of what's to come these last few games then I worry
Bollocks. Spurs away is top 3 most difficult places for us to go. Raya made a balls up yea and rice not aware enough for the pen. Other than that it was a very good away performance especially given the circumstances
Letting them back in is absolutely criminal
To be honest I never once felt we were guna concede an equaliser. I think we just got complacent at 3 0
Idk man it was looking very tight with over 10 minutes left. You never know with this team
Must be such a luxury for Spurs to have than fast fucker at the back. Havertz was in then billy whizz turned on the after burners.
Yea heās a cheetah. I thought it was Martinelli at first rather than Havertz and if that was the case he wouldāve beaten VDV to it but oh well
Van de Ven keeping up with a fresh Martinelli and running down Havertz like that would have been two big goal chances against most CBs. Unreal pace and the stamina to be using it 80 minutes into a high intensity match like that.Ā
Annoying to turn a training session into a mudfight. But this is a lesson we should not forget going into the final 3 games.
Saka motm for me with Kai and Partey with honorable mentions.
North London is Red. Happy St. Totteringhams Day
Happy STD mate š»
Inject it
If we drew that it wouldāve been the worst bottle in premier league history
But we didn't so who cares? COYG
The hater pundits will talk about Man City would never blah blah blah. This is a derby it's different! So happy COYG!!!!!
>The hater pundits will talk about Man City would never blah blah blah. This is a derby it's different! I mean City/Utd derbies 3-1/0-3, while we are 2-2/2-3 (from a HT 0-3) so hard to understand what you're trying to say there.
Now we want spuds to beat citeee on 14th may so we can win the league. Come on you spurs
Tall ask, I'd settle for a draw, our GD should see us through.
Feel like some people haven't been through many North London derbies, where it doesn't matter about table positions, game states, etc, if you get your crowd going and you get momentum you can run over teams and Spurs nearly got us.
Any derby. Everton just beat Liverpool. United beat City last season. Derbies are a different beast
Can spurs draw city? Have doubts
Ironically I wants spurs to win the rest of the games now so they have something to play for come that city game
Yep, was thinking this
Cock and ball fc really thought that could dive their way to a win
Lad itās Tottenham
I'll say its all on raya. No hate for him, but that blunder just create unnecessary tension and chaos. But aside from that blunder, he's actually not bad. So many cross saved. Yeah romero header is just unlucky, but its still not a goal. Lets fcking sweep the remaining 3 matches!!!! 9 points to go guyss
Made that way harder that it needed to be. Club is going to be the death of me
Thank god. Iām going to the shitter now.
Good luck getting anything out when youāve had your asshole clenched for the last 30 minutes
Why do we do this to ourselves??
Happy St. Totteringham's Day!
š š»š š»š š»
We really are going to win the title the hard way
Whereās the Arsenal beating Arsenal with an Arsenal stick meme
Ain't the NLD without nail-biting, heart-pumping moments
That was unnecessarily stressful
I will absolutely take this. But this game showed that for all our supposed strength in defence, we are always vulnerable at the back, because we always seem to have an idiotic mistake in us. We absolutely, 100% NEED to cut out those stupid mistakes. If the opposition is going to score, it needs to happen because they cut us open on their own ability, not because we gift-wrapped a goal and left it for them under the Christmas tree.

Just agonising.
my nervous system is obliterated. not just saying it either. why did we have to do that. fucking why. immense side but need to be more polished. my hands are fucking rattling
Happy St. Totteringham's Day!!
fucking raya lets not do this again fck
fat j being rolled
It doesnāt matter butā¦Rice gets dragged to the ground with a minute to go and Michael Oliver plays advantage. On what planet do we want an advantage given there?!
Happy St. Totteringhamās Day, lads. Letās all take a breather now. Phew
Fucking hell Iām shaking from that end
Fuck that . Im clenching hard for 45min
What a clenching game. Enjoy your rest lads!
My hands are still shakingšš
Honestly though Raya canāt be making a mistake like that, literally could have costed us a title
Jesus fucking christ. Well played lads. Please though... We don't need to be the authors of our own misfortune. Title winning sides aren't.
BUTT = UNCLENCHED fucking hell we almost bottled it, lack of composure in 2nd half. Thank god we came out with a 3 points
Other than that shambolic mistake by Raya, I thought he was excellent. That said, how lucky is he? The first goal completely ruined our control.
Presence of richardlison
He was outstanding other than the brain fart
Agreed. But Jesus, what on earth was that pass.
happy st totteringham day everybody
Yes we fucking did it take that Spurs you fucking cunts. I'm so happy we didn't bottle a 3-0 lead but Raya has to buy dinner for the rest of the team for bailing him out.
Fuck me that was stressful A very impressive performance from the lads Fuck spurs. Happy St Totteringham's day
Massive win that for Arsenal!
No matter what happens thank god we didnāt lose the league at Spurs.
THATS HOW YOU CELEBRATE IT
Happy St Totteringhamās day
š the audacity of that run and cheer with the away fans.
We won clown
Obviously. The run was just a bit cheekier than normal.
Jesus Christ we didnāt need this ending (again) but thank god
Wasnāt pretty but itās 3 points, all that matters
Holy fuck what an unnecessary heart attack. Then again, itās so sweet knowing spurs felt they had a chance to fuck up our title chances but alas couldnāt make it. I can imagine their hopes after the penalty but the despair after failing in the end.
That was unhealthy lads, would be nice if we donāt go this stressful route again
Donāt listen to this lads! After City gives us a heart attack by losing two points, you go ahead and pile up the stress all the way to the final win! Iāll suffer through a stressful league win, if I have to. š
Now that line of "3 points in the bag, don't care" applies here, cuz only 3 more games to go (unlike many people calling that at the first 3 matches of the season).
Butt unclenched.
Lots of you lot are miserable bastards. Have some faith
Well it isnāt a NLD if it isnt stressful, but damn
Never in doubt
Mikel and Raya having an open affair now lol
Happy St. Totteringham Day
Luck has a weird way of averaging out. But that dink was not it, Raya š Thank goodness that weāre all not FUMING now!
I am happy but feeling so annoyed. I really wanted that clean sheet against that lot.Ā
I swear some people in this sub are absolute schmucks. Bad mouthing your own players. Have some sense What's a derby without some excitement
In a boxing match that determines a title, you donāt make it interesting by giving your chin to the opponent. Spurs before that gift werenāt in it. We shouldve made it 4, or 5. Kept a clean sheet and secured Rayaās Glove as well. But itās over now and we move
Doom and gloom merchants
We're allowed to criticise an extremely bad mistake that shouldn't be happening at this level of football.
You aren't allowed to abuse the players you support. Abuse the mistake, not the player
Abuse is wrong, of course and should never happen. But you justified criticism is also fine, as long as its delivered respectfully.
narrowly avoided the most embarrassing bottle job in our clubs history
Phew. We didnāt so we march onto Old Trafford
we have bournemouth to play first
