Don't tell the Jerries, but I reckon Moyes is going to play Soucek as a Fellaini-style number 10, pressing from the front, winning flick-ons from hacked clearances and getting in the box for crosses.
Strap in, chaps. We're going long ball.

Turns out Misko's a bourgeois fascist.
You never can tell, can you?

We have routes to success: Antonio rolling a centre back, Paqueta finding a first-time pass, Kudus getting away on the flank, set pieces… but we need to defend at 100% of our potential.
Absolutely bricking it.

Yeah, I'm the same. I was a bit ambivalent at the time, but now I'm completely comfortable with the decision. The idea that he's not impeding the goalkeeper is ludicrous. He's right in front of him. It's like saying a bollard isn't impeding you because you can go round it. I also keep hearing the ar...

Not to cast aspersions, but with some of his tackles, Paqueta looked like someone trying to be booked.

Last observation before I get back to my beer.
I sometimes wish Paqueta didn't have ice in his veins.
I sometimes wish he'd panic like a startled mouse and slash the ball into touch.

Play the James Ward-Prowse along with me.
Imagine that every time he gets the ball, his pass completion percentage pops into his head.
He never plays a risky pass, ever.

For two decades now, Tottenham have had the most repulsive hair in the division.
Do they all go to the same barber? And is that barber a satanist?

Lovely to see the "smart" Anthony Gordon earn a place in Garth Crooks' team of the week.
Doesn't make my blood boil in the slightest.

Two weeks in a row. Absolutely ****ing robbed.

That should not be a penalty.

Kudus is superhuman.

Love to see those Newcastle fans behind the celebration.

Hee hee hee.

So... no pointing now?

Unless VAR had a camera angle that they didn't show on TV, in neither of the handball decisions did you actually see the ball hit the hand or arm. You might assume that it did, based on the movement of the ball, but that's not the same as seeing an offence, and certainly not enough to overturn an on...

Most defenders ensure their arms are flat to their sides when defending

Pointing is an unnatural position?
Having your arms flat to your side is natural?

This may have been posted before, but https://champagne.pages.dev/ was near-perfect tonight.
I'll be using that from now on.

It would soften the blow a bit, knowing that Spurs fans would be crying again.

I'm surprised it hasn't been celebrated on here, but on Tuesday, Al-Hilal broke the world record for consecutive wins by a top-flight team. All the more impressive because they did it without their star man, Neymar, who's been injured since October. I'm sure we can all join with the previous holders...
