Tottenham (H) - League Cup Semi Final (2nd leg), Thu 6th Feb 2025 (8:00pm)

[Anubis]

Time to mention the Spurs keeper - Kinsky. Seems to be another in the long line of keepers who are very flawed. What was with his aversion to catching the ball? Little SS test tube experiment fucker was punching everything.

The most you see Virgil run is when he scores a goal

Every year I think about a Club Wembley ticket. 
 

I think they are like £2.6k for 3 years but you get every final, semi final, I think play off and England game (not interested in the last one).

 

Takes the stress out it it all if we get there, I’m still in the ballot so could help friends. 
 

It’s just moving it on when we don’t get there. Saying that, given the mancs, Newcastle, Leeds and some other big supports have got there in the last few years, there is a chance a couple of big sales would pay for itself.

 

I’d never ask for anything other than face value off one of our supporters, I don’t even like thinking this way about ripping off other supporters, unfortunately, nobody bothers ripping us off. 
 

Hate the game, not the player etc.

I think they've only signed him as a young backup until Vicario is fit again. He was poor last night but he's a lot better than Fraser Forster!

Have to watch Coldplay six times though, duck fat.

My Dad compared the Van Dijk elbow with Pickford cleaning him out at the pit.

 

Needless to say I am not speaking to him.

Wonder if he was even injured, last time I saw him he was cryarsing over some minor challenge, next thing he's on the deck in exactly the same place. Can only imagine he got sick of being bullied and wanted out. 

 

He's just very, very, weird. Normally his sort of nark refuse to acknowledge they've been bested even when it's obvious to a worldwide audience, but he goes from self-conscious arrogance to an almost teary show of defeat within a heartbeat. I fear he'll eventually push himself into some kind of humiliation from which he'll suffer a breakdown, and then everyone else will be blamed for his pathetic plight. Of course, the REAL help he should be getting is here and now, behind the scenes, but that's not showbiz, and it's not how football now is - why deal with stuff in a boringly private and uncommercial way when you can just sit back, let it get really bad, and then launch endless articles, news broadcasts, interviews, documentaries and 'please be kind' finger-wagging lectures at everyone else|?

Spent a whole match with an aspiring young CB watching Virgil . Nothing else just concentrated on the main man. I counted he broke into a lazy trot 5 times in the match and somehow the ball was just attracted to him wherever he was defending on the pitch . It was awesome to watch someone that good at positioning and reading the game . Therefore with the amount I saw him running I can confidently predict he will be able to play top flight football at 35 . Easy .

 

Isak is the only forward I have seen ruffle the big man in the past few years.

Echoes of the Semi final in the European Cup 1981 Against Bayern when they printed instructions on how to get to Paris for the final .

I'm looking forward to arsenal's support ripping 'liverbird' off...So i thought i'd give them a hand.

 

We've got a gun upon our chest

Our blud and fam they are the best

A team that plays the arsenal way

And wins fuck all come every may

A Liverbird Upon My Chest was going and pretty nicely on the kop last night - only the 'chorus' but it was growing and sounding half decent.....went on for a while too.

 

One of my favourite songs and IMO been overlooked for too long. Good to hear it coming back more.

Yeah, it was going strong in the road end too. I'm glad it's just the chorus, it's impossible otherwise. People have their own verses, people sing them in the wrong order. Just sing the chorus, only fucking mental cases can remember all the words.

With all due respect chief, does he often talk shite?

In all seriousness, we've completely fallen out today as a result of the exchanges after that message & I've blocked his number.

 

Our relationship is fraught at the best of times but i'll not be speaking to him again.

That would be "divilment" as us Irish would say. 

Makes sense. I was born in Armagh & raised in Fermanagh.

My old man was an Everton fan and we had some proper narks over text after derbies once I’d moved away.

 

I sent a message to another red as a derby was kicking off saying “let’s batter these small time cunts” but sent it to my dad by mistake. That went down well
