Salah is having a video game on easy mode season.

A slomo of that body check on Danso. #COYS

Gee, think anyone in that City front line can dribble?

I'm actually still fuming over that non-call for Dara O'Shea's lunge / body check on Danso in the box. Last season and this season the bar for us to get a pen call seems awfully high.

Clean sheets is an overrated stat I think, but for the record Spurs have double the clean sheets this season that Villa do, but you will never hear criticism of Emery’s ‘high line.’

Maddison is so dangerous when he walks into the box like that. Difficult to dispossess without risking a pen. Few players in the league can do this.

I've been slightly obsessed with the impact of recovery days between games across the PL this season. This data is only really 'surface level' and doesn't take into account strength of oppo, whether you play home-Home, home-away etc but is illustrative.

We're 10 points off the probable UCL spots.

Suppose we simply keep winning.

Indulging in a little schadenfreude and it all seems very familiar

At the end of the season I will do a Substack post on everything I got wrong throughout the season, just FYI.

Sorry, did you have something negative to say about the captain? #coys

Danso has a bit of flair about him, btw.

Can Cole Palmer catch up to Maddison, who’s 1st among PL midfielders in g + a / 90?

For comparison, Arsenal's "injury crisis" is 5 first team players (the same amount Spurs are now DOWN to, after a month around double digits), and they just lost at home to the 16th place squad. #COYS

Does anyone have a clip on the body check on Danso?

Can’t be injuries and fatigue, right? Can’t be. Never. Couldn’t ever be. We’ll never know why.

And he calls it on Porro after letting it go for 89 mins. Unbelievable.

Lethal

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is fucking ridiculous

That’s an ice hockey body check in the penalty area.

This is ridiculous. Handing them dangerous free kicks over nothing while allowing them to dangerously foul our players.

Foul on Johnson, not called, Ipswich player runs into Udogie and knocks him over, foul called.

Match comms on USA feed btw have been great. Fair and not banterish. Breath of fresh air really.

This is good from Spurs to control the ball out the gate for 5 mins and running.

HT: Tactically and in terms of intent, a controlled and superior performance. But marred by several moments of very bad decision-making in the ball. Really need to hold onto the ball in the middle or stop clearing it back through the middle, because it’s gift wrapping.

Activist refs, man. They choose when a foul is a called foul. Thats a foul on Son.
