Alone in the Park - it's the Prem 2020-21 thread

A buttmeg

There’s a gentlemen’s agreement to grimace and say ‘not sure there was contact’ rather than point out his diving.

I think there was, each time, and he dived each time

Pretty poor first half performance, especially in how rattled we look by their running at us

They obv have nothing in front of their back four which may yet get us a second

Doherty and sanchez a horrific right side of defence, the former has stood like a post every time robinson has run at him

seen this game before

Shambles at the back, just totally disinterested in doing anything that would make concession less likely

Not looking great going forward in the second half either.

Sanchez just let lookman over his shoulder for about the tenth time, we get away with it and lloris passes it straight into trouble again

What is this

Jesus the attempts at "killer ball" have been absolutely pathetic this half

Abysmal.

seen this game before

newcastle hilariously doomed

oh god that's pathetic

Stupid law goes in Spurs favour for once.

Given them ten minutes and they’ll get another though.

Fuck's sake. Keeping this on ice for any future instance of Newcastle edging toward the relegation zone

fulham almost viscerally better at football than spurs

I don’t think Spurs have completed a pass successfully in the last five minutes.

This is vomitous

We look to be a few men down, just nowhere

Lamela has played more football in 5 minutes than the rest of them combined all game

Yep, hes in the ascendancy at the moment

Kane having an awful game, not leading the line at all

Nobody in front of the back four showing at all

deeply dishonourable

a 'final act harry kane deliberately cunting a free-kick into touch' kind of win

If we won the league with 38 of those id have stopped watching by christmas, that was as bad as the everton cup performance

The unwillingness to mark is astonishing, and ive been watching spurs for three decades

What the fuck has rio ferdinand see, on about character and spirit and togetherness

Those cunts couldnt catch a bus together

Jose feels we shouldve won by more so yknow theres that

Ridiculous offside.

haha that’s amazing

Sorry i posted it a few places and didnt realise id dumped it without comment

This is the best thing tenuously related to football ive seen in i dunno how long

I love scotty parker, the wwi sergeant player and the casey affleck manager

Wasn't Scott Parker the kid doing keepy ups in a McDonaldds advert in the 90s? Real Seven ages of man(ager) shit

Oh wait, that's in the video lol

My gf saw an early season interview of his after Fulham had been humped and insisted he was changed out of his gourd

Changg-ed, that is

Words to only use in speech

Great video yeah

Parker will always be the guy who betrayed my team two weeks after I was given a shirt with his name on the back for Xmas but he's also proving a decent manager imo

oh wow somebody noticed the handball rule was bullshit

Xp did you creatively deface the back of the shirt to read PARKER IS JUDAS

White-on-red W and N of appropriate size and font safety-pinned on :)

I like it, but i'd worry not everyone would get it. "Why are you wearing 'WANKER'on your back m8?"

That was a depressing transfer, iirc it was the first Abramovic season, pre-mourinho, and you were pushing Chelsea quite hard in 3rd/4th, and they just... bought your best player and stuck him on the bench

They did the same with Reading and Steve Sidwell, and City and SWP. It was breathtakingly cynical

The Pieters and Kante non-penalties are bizarre to me.

Man, football is a slog recently

is anyone actually enjoying watching their team lately? Feels like West Ham are the only team playing well, Man City's success being a tiresome illegitimate fantasy as it is

I wouldn't bet against Villa cheering Wolves up later cos we've got noooothing at the moment

Have you seen how lacklustre we are tho?

Tbh our form improved when I missed a couple of games, and mostly I cannot be arsed at the moment

I mean yeah I wouldn't have bet against a mega-dull 0-0 of it wasn't for how superlatively inept the villa were against Sheff Utd

xp ah youre the eric dier of wolves fans then

Wolves this year has been a slog to watch, esp since Jimenez went down. but sports give me something to look forward to so I "enjoy" it in that extent.

i've only been following the team two years so harder for me to be disappointed I guess, lol.

they remind me my local team (Orlando City) - two years ago. team could barely find goals, they were all unconventional weird goals, and they'd find it difficult to beat anybody, even bottom feeders.

are we thinking Semedo is a bust at this point?

I think if you look at Doherty at Spurs Semedo is a step up, and looks the kind of player that will improve when the team around him improves
