People bantering Postecoglou but he’s been a revelation for Spurs. They’ve been utterly crippled with injuries and still gave us a hell of a game in the first half. They’re a million miles away from the team that sleepwalked to the end of last season.

Its not impossible that they’ll lose to city as well but overall, he seems like the right man to give time to.

What a finish that is! McGinn is finally adding goals to his game and I love it.

The people campaigning for the removal of VAR are clearly forgetting the rage over missed decisions in the pre-VAR age. I’m talking the Chelsea goal against Cardiff a few seasons back where the Chelsea player was like three yards offside, there was ghost goals such as the Liverpool champions league game (also against Chelsea) and the Lampard goal against Germany. People went ballistic over these errors at the time - Cardiff went on to be relegated, Chelsea and England were eliminated from their respective tournaments. The impact is huge on missing these mistakes.

The problem is not, and has never been VAR, the problem is the old guard of referees who do not know how to use it, or intentionally misuse it to bring about this exact discussion. The problem is pundits like Carragher who won’t bother to keep themselves updated with the latest rules, just so when there is a confusing handball given or not given, they can loudly declare that they don’t have a clue what football is anymore and this is all the fault of a fucking video system.

I really hope this means we’ve found our groove in Europe now
