On second, obviously didn't have the Arsenal highlights ready. :)

I'd say we'll be on 3rd after the Arsenal and Yanited games, which is about right.

I was thinking 2nd, but being as they seemed to be concentrating on that Fulham match pre-win on their live text.....

I don't get why the highlights have to show things like Holjund / Brailsford in the crowd. Live, yes they look around for stuff during boring sections. But surely highlights mean there are no boring bits.

Agreed, only allowed if it's Mick Harford and Harry Styles sharing Extra Strong Mints.

To be fair I’m quite happy to see Manure beaten in injury time at their place.

Commentator on about conceding from corners but forgets to mention all our defensive injuries. Twat.

But we have been poor defending from corners for most of the season.

But having makeshift defense every other week can’t help.

Might watch it tonight, let's see where we are in the running order and which twats are in the studio tonight.

Just enjoy it, there isn't a grand conspiracy at play to down Villa at every turn

That's exactly what they want you to think.

Matt le Tissier and Rickie Lambert in the studio to tell us how the WEF are forcing vaccines on journalists to make the media love Spurs so much.

They were deciding what to put in those vaccines round about the time of the 7-2 against Liverpool.

In theory it has only been a forced make shift defence since Sheffield Utd as that was the first match Torres was missing. Yes we have lost Mings all season but we had pretty much a settled defence for quite a long time after that injury.

TBH it reminded me of the Wolves match against them the first game of the season with players running from their own half to the edge of the box unchallenged. They fluked that one with VAR deciding a keeper clearing out the attacker is not a penalty and Wolves not able to put it on target. It was no surprise they were shown in the list of shots allowed against them.

The stat on the US broadcast mentioned with Torres our average goals per game conceded is 1, without him it’s 2. Not sure if that’s correct, but shows how important he is.
