Why?

partly because just before son scored, lloris pulled off a fantastic save but mostly because they're going to be 2 very important players for us and it captures great spirit of 2 players who could probably play at bigger and better clubs but want to play for spurs.

That was nice of him, enjoyed Neville's comment when he said he's doing it to stay onside though :p

It's great when you see good sportsmanship and I think football lacks it in some areas.

Except Brendan wasn't responding to a comment about 2/12 when he said that....

Also again dunno what you think he's going to say, 'aye were garbage and I'll probably be ****ed off soon'

He can **** off if he thinks he's going to be given the time and support to rebuild his own squad after only 3 years.

He's becoming a joke, when you can't even identify the problem and you still need to rebuild after that amount of time and money you are never going to do anything but fail.

He's had time to buy the team he wants and hasn't. He wants to play 4-3-3 but doesn't buy the players for it, he has the players for even a basic 4-4-2 but refuses. He's not getting the best out of anyone. Was it last year he was making noise about how he definitely wouldn't bring a defensive coach in. If you think or know you can fix it the defence you are welcome to refuse to bring in help. But when you ignore the defensive problems, make them worse and still haven't done anything to fix it you've got a problem.

Stubborn managers do my head in, think they know best even when they are clearly failing. Fergie, one of the best managers who ever lived if not the best had no problem bringing in a defensive coach. Bringing in the right people to win is a sign of a good manager, being too stubborn to admit you need help and ignoring a massive problem is a sign of a bad manager.

Without the Suarez getting you second year, his time vs money spent has been a dismal dismal failure in all honesty. I mean you can't have a go at Spurs for spending what 100mil, spend three times as much and finish behind them. He's becoming a bit of a laughing stock. Goes around calling out everyone else on their mistakes completely oblivious to his own. In the past four seasons Spurs have made a profit of £10mil in the transfer market, Liverpool have spent £120mil net and very close to 300mil total.

That also doesn't take into account new managers which generally leads to unwanted players, higher player turnover and a change in direction in the club. With Rodgers in charge he should have bought most of the team he wanted, improved the team dramatically and have a hell of a lot better squad to show for it.

Ah, but with no ability to buy new players... you should say you need to rebuild?

I mean in effect what is he saying, I've spent 300mil and it's not enough, these players aren't good enough? Is that a good thing to say about your team when both you bought them and you still actually need them to play for you?

Martial looking promising so far.

I think we are going to need another strong defender signed up in the January window, especially with the Shaw injury - and maybe another back up striker.

If Martial gets injured we will be left with Rooney......and that doesn't look a very exciting prospect so far.

A little surprised LvG didn't use Young as LFB, personally think he is better than Rojo in that position and possibly Blind also

We are desperate for a good centre half to come in along side Smalling imo, have been since beginning of last season. Hopefully see Utd getting a reasonable left back (arguably needed anyway even before Shaw's injury)

Depay is getting a little frustrating with the free kicks he completely wastes (and doesn't even manage to get anywhere near the goal mouth) , but he deserved a goal today from that one decent chance that hit the post/ was scored by Mata

1st 30 minutes was tedious in the extreme by Utd, and couldn't have complained a jot if they had gone down 2-0 in that period - could even say they thoroughly deserved it. Out of nothing we get a goal back after great composure by Martial and from then on Southampton gave the game away imo

Commentary was 100% right, they changed their game plan for "middle" 45 minutes and we obliterated them in that time (and could/should have scored more) - if they had kept to the same style /formation I think they would have drawn if not won easily, even despite De Gea's heroics in goal - esp at 2-1 when that was a fantastic save.

Depay giving away the free kick for their 2nd was stupid / reckless but defending was atrocious anyway
