    Thankfully I wasn’t following this feed earlier. I didn’t feel the nerves many of you seem to have been feeling. I never thought we looked like getting beaten today. Yeah we sat to deep after we scored but we always seemed to have and answer to any Spurs attacks and Rays had everything covered. Solid mature performance despite missing some key players.

      I thought we sat not deep enough after we scored, lol. Spurs had quite a few attacks even though we had answers, that gave me some worry.

      I was nervous before the game started. After that, I wasn’t feeling nervous until maybe the final 15 minutes (including extra time). I was semi-confident when the subs came on too since I felt fresh legs could have made an impact and they almost nearly did.

        Honestly they should just steal North London Forever, that’s a song that actually works for them. If you ignore the MV and that Dunford is a Gooner and the non-chorus bits.

      They’ve been singing that for years and I’ve never understood why. Especially now with So’ton back.

            I kinda feel like we’re throwing stones in a glass house when every time our German striker in our London club scores, we sing a rip off of This Time for Africa

              Ok but there’s a massive difference between making a chant with the same tune but half the lyrics are different and literally changing one word from the same song sung by a different club.

        Yeah, I’m sure there may be some other teams in the pyramid that makes sense for, literally The Saints being one of them. Spurs though, I have no idea… maybe in celebration of Saint Totteringhams day? They’re a bit early though

    Just noticed the progress pride flag on the corner tunnel, that’s a nice touch. A shame it’s been defaced with the spurs badge, but still.
