Honestly they should just steal North London Forever, that's a song that actually works for them. If you ignore the MV and that Dunford is a Gooner and the non-chorus bits.
Yeah, I'm sure there may be some other teams in the pyramid that makes sense for, literally The Saints being one of them. Spurs though, I have no idea... maybe in celebration of Saint Totteringhams day? They're a bit early though
I kinda feel like we're throwing stones in a glass house when every time our German striker in our London club scores, we sing a rip off of This Time for Africa
Ok but there's a massive difference between making a chant with the same tune but half the lyrics are different and literally changing one word from the same song sung by a different club.
Thankfully I wasn’t following this feed earlier.
I didn’t feel the nerves many of you seem to have been feeling.
I never thought we looked like getting beaten today.
Yeah we sat to deep after we scored but we always seemed to have and answer to any Spurs attacks and Rays had everything covered.
Solid mature performance despite missing some key players.
I was nervous before the game started. After that, I wasn't feeling nervous until maybe the final 15 minutes (including extra time). I was semi-confident when the subs came on too since I felt fresh legs could have made an impact and they almost nearly did.
After Rice, I have to be harsh on Saliba and say you can't be doing that.
Timber gets a card for winning the ball and having a front row seat to Porro breaking his own ankle. Of course the physios were never called on for this life-threatening injury.
Meanwhile, Spuds have gotten 5 players booked. Levels.
I thought England and the league praised tough, dig in, hard yakka players. You wrap your arms around a player, he flops down like a roll of wet doo paper and you get a yellow, lol.
Their defence is definitely their strong point but generally you're not a "big club" unless your emphasis is on attack, what some describe as "front-footed". So they try and hype them up as marauding attackers when they're not. Plus, Ange wasn't famous for being defensively sound, but for playing suicidally forward.

The gaping hole left by not having Ødegaard in the team is painful.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
yeah, that right side is struggling a little bit more than it usually does. Timber is making some good runs though.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Why are the Spuds singing When the Saints go Marching in? Lol I think they're at the wrong stadium
sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 3 pts · 1y
They've stolen the song. It's weird AF

They've been singing that for years and I've never understood why. Especially now with So'ton back.

even more stupid then, no? just make up your own song, we've been doing it for years.

Or take the shot. Do something
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
tbf credit to him to getting there in the first place but yea

I'd like him a little more if he didn't flop around so much
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
If he wasn't a cunt. Still remembering that derby that lost us top 4. Among many other cases.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
We are riding our luck this game, but it seems to be working.
soycapitan451@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Some absolutely bizarre bookings in this half.
soycapitan451@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Vicario, bentancur, Timber, saliba... don't think any were deserving of yellows.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
I think Bentancur's was, otherwise yeah.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
what I don't get is why Bentancur's was for the delay and not the tackle lmfao
soycapitan451@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
In the context of a NLD, I'd be annoyed if that had been given against one of our guys.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
I might be a little anoyed but I'd think it's fair and our guy woulda been stupid for doing that much in one go.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
I thought we sat not deep enough after we scored, lol. Spurs had quite a few attacks even though we had answers, that gave me some worry.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Saliba, good fucking block. Whew.
ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Saliba on a yellow for a rule that is just for us.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
What is this Fergie Time nonsense
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Just noticed the progress pride flag on the corner tunnel, that's a nice touch. A shame it's been defaced with the spurs badge, but still.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
We need to be scoring chances like that.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Oh wow what a surprise Jarred Gillett has broken a record for most yellows in the first half apparently.

Timber is prolly ending up my man of the match tbh.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
He's been strong everytime I've seen him
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
I managed to catch most of the main moments from the first half, I think, but Timber feels pretty solid defensively
ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Arteta about to take that throw in himself. Lol
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Get Kiwior on, get Saka (or Havertz) off. Just play it safe.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Agreed... we don't need to push our luck.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
How is that not a freekick? That would probably have been a yellow in the first half.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Vicario getting a yellow, good, but also when has a gk getting a yellow ever mattered.
sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Eh, means he can't waste too much time in the dying minutes.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
GET IN!!!!

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Raya help us get control. We need it right now. This is worrying.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Romero sits down, nothing. Saka does and the crowd are booing? Fuck off
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Plus it seems like Saka's actually gonna need to go off as well. Which... fuck.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Yeah, hopefully he's just tired and nothing else
sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al · 2 pts · 1y
Yellow card for stopping a ball?
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
In fairness to the Tottenham crowd, don't think our away end has been quite as drowned out as this in a while.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
That's fairly uncommon. Shows how massive our away support is. Like a home crowd packed into the away end
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
how's that a booking?
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Late the the game, what the fuck is with these yellows...

how much spurs praise do I have to hear on this fucking commentary.

@Astrealix I’ve got the Spanish language broadcast so I’m missing that. 😂
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
yo no hablo español
Ian485@mastodon.world · 2 pts · 1y
@Astrealix Me neither. That’s what makes it so wonderful. Just watching the match and listening for the Gunners players names.
sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Spuds have this weird aura that makes commentators gush over them despite not really accomplishing much.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
the worst part is I think they're praising the wrong bits. Their defence has been pretty solid but they just keep praising the attack lol.
sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Their defence is definitely their strong point but generally you're not a "big club" unless your emphasis is on attack, what some describe as "front-footed". So they try and hype them up as marauding attackers when they're not. Plus, Ange wasn't famous for being defensively sound, but for playing suicidally forward.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Good one from Raya.
MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
A bit shaky there
Lovely kit on the birthday boy
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
So is Romero gonna get a card for delaying the game? Man's just sitting down and taking a break.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
How's that not a foul by Van der Ven???
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
It's way worse than his actual yellow, lol.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
The ref has screwed himself handing out yellows like candy
ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Why does Martinelli never square it to Saka? :/
sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
He's low on confidence so he wants the goal to get back into form. I get it but it's very frustrating.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Gabriel Jesus with MotM? Did anybody else see that? Lol
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Why aren't we just popping Kiwior on the pitch tbh
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
So Trossard is the one in midfield then.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Who do you swap out and who would you bring on?
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Nwaneri on for Trossard in a couple of minutes. Just need him to play a bit, we can't only use 3 midfielders for the next god knows how long.
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
I'd like to see him play too. Wonder if Arteta only risks it if we're in a dominant position
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
The commentator just said white shirts, white faces. What??? Lol
nuggsy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Actually, thinking about it, it may have meant in regards to being pale due to fear or something like that
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Anne Hathaway getting a good look in.
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Why are they still talking about Romero in the corner, it's just good from us.

there's never been a 0-0 draw at the new shite hart lane, says the commentary. Quite frankly, how.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
tbh the yellow coulda been for the tackle
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Whew, that coulda been goal of the season if that was a bit lower
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Oh good we get a yellow card for delaying a free kick again, remember when Szoboslai didn't get one to get sent off literally yesterday
Astrealix@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Our defence is doing bits. If only our midfield and attack can match them.
