I wish Arsenal had held on to the 1-0 lead yesterday. 3 points back (albeit United has a match in hand) would have been a good place to be in after the rough season they have had.

Spurs struggling hard to get a 0-0 over the line against Bournemouth. VAR (correctly) ruled a Bournemouth goal out and now Wilson missed a sitter in extra time ... would be a great result for Bournemouth if they could find a late winner. They'll probably be gutted if it stays a tie, that doesn't really help them.

but just goes to show you how Mourinho has neutered that Spurs team. Bournemouth conceded a combined 9 against Newcastle and Man United and should have conceded even more in both games. Spurs can't even get a single one.

I never understood the Mourinho hire for Spurs.

Didn't fit that squad style or culture at all IMO.

Good to see Spurs get out of that fixture with just a single point.

^^^Forget not scoring, a big fat zero shots on target! Just pathetic.

You really think it's Mourinho though? Like the style has something to do with it, but I sat through a lot of Poch matches that were similar. Teams sat back and played negative and we just couldn't breakthrough. It's crazy because it's not like there's no one capable of scoring for us, but all too common.

yes. Don't let him convince you that it's the players' fault, he's tried that BS at United too and way too many fans fell for it. Only need to watch how well the likes of Martial and Rashford have done without him.

That was a bad call IMO by giving the penalty. Absolutely makes no sense.

Also such milking for the penalty. What is the point of the VAR, if you miss obvious calls

yeah, certainly wasn't a pen in my opinion. Lucky break for United, and they needed it too.

Well part of it is Mourinho for sure, part of it has been injuries this season, and part of it is I think their midfield has taken a step back.

I think they really need a more creative midfielder to help out in the middle of the pitch, more of a deep lying playmaker type. I guess Alli has played that role, but he's better further up the pitch.

Also I'm not a fan of a 4-3-3 for this team personally. Think that a 4-2-3-1, or 3-5-2 is a better fit for their squad composition.

Erickson leaving was a big blow. Offence flowed through him

Yep, there is no real distributor - there are a bunch of slashing runners and talented finishers but no QB.

Here's hoping you have another 30 year wait!

Not even a shot on goal against Bournemouth though. It's the worst of times, and I'm not looking forward to Sunday.

In other news, VAR went 0/3 yesterday as acknowledged by the PL. What a farce.

All or nothing is really good, amazon does it well

Not to get into it but prime seems to be way less known than it should be, they have some shows that should get the netflix hype and for whatever reason just dont

But the all or nothings are very good, not just in premier league either

The all blacks rugby one is great, brazil footy one too, michigan one too
