The entire Spurs team are a bit like that, really. They’re super jammy and the media doesn’t really sting them at all, because they’re not really a *big club* anyone cares about in the vein of the rest of the top 6.
It does take a prick to use an injury like this as a P.R win

Why do people keep calling them “Sheffield” on here? Weirdos. There’s United and Wednesday.

A think you need to also look at these players have got top of the line coaching and was winning trophies at the youth level, then they went out on loan bar RLC and CHO both Mount, Tomori, Tammy, Reece has got more than 100 games under their belt in the mens game. Also playing in the championship which is physically demanding will also make you mature.

Greenwood has spark, and talent but he needs to mature in footballing sense to make that leap from youth football to mens football and only games will do that.
Agreed. They have an advantage in experience and senior level playing.

Surely Spurs got to put Moura or Eriksen on, they last won a game in the middle of September in the league.

Listening to the commentary, I feel uneasy about all the comments regarding Son, they are making him look like a victim or something. The whole "feel sorry" for him is pathetic
Agree. Didn’t think it was a red card tackle but it was clearly a bit of revenge tackle in it. Crazy that he is coming out of it with some kind of credit just because he cried.

Or a good PR department, depends how you look at it.

Have to say that I cringed a bit when I heard players from both teams were crying at the end of the game in the dressing room. Had a mate break his leg and dislocate his ankle sledging when we were kids. Dragged him home on his sledge, even he wasn’t crying, let alone us.

What happened during and shortly after the game, I can understand with the emotions and adrenaline running high. After that though, it is all pathetic

It's a shock, so I wouldn't go that far as to call the crying cringe. But all this Son stuff is cringe I agree.
