Yeah I’ve had mixed feelings about VAR, but after this game fuck it, can’t come in quick enough.

I realize it’s MLS, but the VAR implementation helped Atlanta United’s title run last season as a goal was correctly disallowed after review during the two legged tie with the NY Red Bulls.
Absolutely baffling that the supposed best league in the world refuses to avail themselves of technology to get the match deciding calls correct. English FA should be embarrassed by the shower of shit that passes for officiating week in and week out in this league.

They haven’t refused. We’ll have it next season.
On a mild north London afternoon Tottenham scragged their way to a bitty 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Wembley. For Spurs it felt like something more significant, an ugly point gained from behind, while playing for much of the afternoon with a ragged, brittle, angsty edge.
It was a point to prevent a poor week becoming a desperate one. Beyond that it was an unfortunate turn of events for those keen to riff on that narrative of Spursiness, of annual chokes and chuckings-in, of a basic weakness of spirit.
In reality this was a heartening display for Tottenham’s supporters, a game dragged back while half the team played below itself, and with a central midfielder in Victor Wanyama who seemed unable to fulfill any part of the brief – passing, covering, even running around looking purposeful – with any real success. It was a point that left Mauricio Pochettino happy to chat in a fond, rambling way through his press conference. It is not hard to see why. For Pochettino, the season never actually boiled down to a battle to finish in the top four. It was always a battle to finish in the top four, one that is back on track now, with the added bonus of a likely passage to the Champions League quarter-finals thrown in.
Against this Tottenham are, for reasons that remain unclear, the most widely chastised of the Premier League’s high-achievers. There has always been a certain jeering unease in the top flight towards a refusal to spend money, the kind of response you might expect in some sweaty, booze-sodden Friday night saloon bar as you sidle up to order your third Orangina of the night.Preformatted text
The urge to cast shade on this fine footballing project is evidence of how simplistic the narrative around football can be. Chuck in the reliance on coaching and youth systems – Spurs spent £18m net in the past five seasons – and it is either idiocy or mischief to conclude Pochettino has done anything other than an excellent job.
Jesus Christ. Barney Ronay thinks he’s so fucking clever. Probably the type of guy who dutch ovens himself in bed because he loves his own brand of farts.

Don’t tell it to Pocho and Klaim. They think it was one of their best games ever.

What a load of shit. Making any movement to try get on the end of a cross is an attempt to play the ball. It’s not fucking rocket science.

To be fair to Mustafi, to keep up such a high level of consistency of poor performances is to be admired.
You have to go all the way back to Denilson to see such underwhelming displays on such a regular basis.

At least Denilson could pull sideways passes off
That’s true.
Those two yard passes to a team mate and treating the ball like a hot potato is what made him a first team regular.

Spurs journalist? He was fucking offside. End of it.
Even the PL match day centre said it should have been offside.
