OT: do we have a "footballers who really shouldn't become pundits after their playing days" thread? Or would it break the board? Bcz VdV, srsly.

Amazing.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:17 (seven years ago)
Looked offside but that might just be the complete lack of a defence.
― ShariVari, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:18 (seven years ago)
Think it's prob the latter, yeah
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:18 (seven years ago)
Very lucky not to be two.
― ShariVari, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:19 (seven years ago)
Pffff
xp yeah!
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:19 (seven years ago)
Van de Beek had so much time to tip that in, I think he grew his first hair on his chin during that time. smdh
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:20 (seven years ago)
Crisis at the moment.
Think he was just on but there was only one replay.
― FernandoHierro, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:20 (seven years ago)
(Fernando are you LG in disguise? Have to ask, sorry)
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:21 (seven years ago)
Ajax 66% possession ffs
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:22 (seven years ago)
They’re making Spurs look like a League One team. Absolutely wouldn’t bet against them turning Barca over.
― ShariVari, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:23 (seven years ago)
this is like watching an FA cup game with two divisions between the teams, absolute humiliation
lol xp
― Terry Major-Ball Will Tell You (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:25 (seven years ago)
xp otm. What are Spurs even doing? Can't detect any actual plan or tactic. Or want.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:25 (seven years ago)
Dang. This will end 0-3, at least.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:26 (seven years ago)
Tbf Spurs have no outlet or pace up front with the injuries.
― FernandoHierro, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:27 (seven years ago)
Worst game of Son's career to miss out on.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:29 (seven years ago)
Oofff. Vertonghen is bleeding to death :(
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:34 (seven years ago)
We have nothing in midfield either, Wanyama can't pass and Eriksen is too far up the pitch.Oh and our centre backs are both dead now, yay.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:34 (seven years ago)
Llorente has actually done okay given his ludicrous unsuitability for the task the circumstances demand.
― FernandoHierro, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:35 (seven years ago)
I am weirdly relaxed about this given how ludicrous the idea of Spurs in the Champions League final is.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:35 (seven years ago)
Where the hell is deems btw
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:36 (seven years ago)
Amsterdam.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:37 (seven years ago)
i'll fill in for deems:
the ref - who is a cunt - is biased against spurs (for no reason)
― findom haddie (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:38 (seven years ago)
p sure the authorities would've notified me in advance tbh xp
xp lol
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:38 (seven years ago)
keen to see the Dele Alli heat dot at half time
― Terry Major-Ball Will Tell You (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:39 (seven years ago)
Poch out, surely? (xp)
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:40 (seven years ago)
Jan is properly half dead.
Sissoko will save us.
― ShariVari, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:41 (seven years ago)
That was slightly disturbing, watching JV in that state.
― FernandoHierro, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:42 (seven years ago)
If this is anyone's game it's Sissoko's tbf
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:42 (seven years ago)
Yeah that was really horrible, vertonghen's reaction, hope he's ok
xp
― or something, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:49 (seven years ago)
Similar but slightly lesser incident with Fabinho against Cardiff. Football needs some sort of head injury protocol.
― FernandoHierro, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:50 (seven years ago)
There are protocols iirc, but they won't help if a club sends a player back on the pitch. Protocols aren't needed really, common sense should be enough.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:53 (seven years ago)
I guess by protocol I meant it would demand they have to take players off, similar to rugby, that sort of magic sponge vibe there doesn't seem very safe at all and it can't be a team or a manager or a player making the call.
― FernandoHierro, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:55 (seven years ago)
medical staff clearly has no influence whatsoever in football. (or are morally and monetarily corrupt, :P )
― Ludo, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 19:55 (seven years ago)
wtf was poch thinking with this set up
― ogmor, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:08 (seven years ago)
So mad I'm missing this!
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:12 (seven years ago)
Spurs more lively now, finally.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:15 (seven years ago)
Ajax neutralised in the second half now. Shame Spurs don't have any firepower. Not even a tiny bit.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:21 (seven years ago)
Trippier = wasteman
― . (Michael B), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:25 (seven years ago)
Amazing how much better this is than the first half. Make Sissoko the club's highest paid player immediately.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:28 (seven years ago)
Sissoko's appearance changed the whole match, it's amazing really.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:31 (seven years ago)
I mean on retrospect it was a very bad idea to be a man short in midfield when they have one of the most talented young playmakers in world football running the show.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:32 (seven years ago)
Aye, Poch out obv.
Spurs prob need to score at least two in 20 mins to feel like they can get a result next week tho.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:33 (seven years ago)
The amount of space that Danny Rose is getting on the left is ridiculous.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:40 (seven years ago)
Inspirational double fullback substitution there. Foyth should not be on the pitch in a CL semi final.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:44 (seven years ago)
About 15 of the 22 players here should not be on the pitch in a CL semi final tbh.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:50 (seven years ago)
every time Eriksen is called upon to either thread a pass or find someone at a setpiece Ajax can rest easy
― Terry Major-Ball Will Tell You (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:51 (seven years ago)
Disappointing from both sides, this.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:57 (seven years ago)
Fairly relieved tbh.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 April 2019 20:58 (seven years ago)
ajax were great when spurs gave them all that space but otherwise that was p shit
