      Wonder if VAR will get a mention after Spurs v Chelsea.
      Absolutely insane game. Also just had the realisation that Wolves play Spurs on the early Saturday game on a 5 day break with 2 red cards and 2 Injuries.

          VAR really sucks the fun out of football, you can't celebrate goals anymore. Need to wait 3 or 4 minutes every time.

            Ange’s response after the game was just great. Acting like a grown up with perspective in a world of children. Hope he can carry on being successful, he fully deserves it.

              I watched this game. Crazy. Spurs just play on the front foot ALL the time, even when down to 9!

                  Great to watch the game at Luton and full marks to them, they were unlucky not to get the win. So so rapt for Diaz to score the equalizer after the fortnight he has had.

                  I mean seriously; players miss games through injury, illness, suspension. To have missed games because of your parents kidnapping shows what an insane world this is at times. Regardless of what happens for Liverpool's season, hope his plight is resolved soon.

                    7 minutes between the goal and the eventual penalty is crazy.

                      In a game that went 110 there was only 47 minutes of actual play and there didn't seem to be any time wasting by either side.

                        Actually it wasn't. Spurs played on the front foot after going down to 9 men. Instead of parking a bus and keeping the scoreline, Ange chased a win/equaliser. Had Dier's goal not been chalked off or Son and Bentacur both missed gilt edged chances, the score could well have been 2-2.

                        4-1 flatter's Chelsea who struggled to break down a 9 man Tottenham.

                          I guess to be fair to us with did also have 3 disallowed goals and 4 or 5 other guilt edged chances that we should have taken. It's something we've struggled with all season.

                          I think the way Ange kept attacking has taken the focus off the way a couple of Spurs players threw away the game by losing their heads.

                            It's an interesting tactic to keep the high line with 9, however no one should be surprised that's always been Angie's philosophy even back at the Victory.

                            My only worry would be if GD comes into a CL spot.

                              Independant panel reviewed Toon v Arsenal.

                              Havertz : unanimous red.
                              Goal : 4-1 to stand.
                              Bruno : 3-2 a red however you could argue he doesn't do that if Havertz is off.

                              So Newcastle robbed! XD

                              Wahteta punishment will be interesting.

                                It absolutely was, as soon as Chelsea got physical we shit the bed. Romero was lucky to not be sent off earlier and Jackson being abysmal meant that we still had a chance at a result.
