Scooped 40 on the sky bet boost bet so it’s not too bad. Chelsea, Arsenal and palace to win.

Not convinced by the ice cream sundae shirt but great half from us. Was very open til we scored but we’ve played some lovely stuff since. Early third to kill it please.

Delighted (and surprised) with the win, really thought Watford would do some damage this evening.

The still of the incident looks terrible. Was there any intent? If so thats should be a 3 game ban.

I don’t think so. The general consensus from the experts (ex pros, journalists) is that he was just off balance and caught him. A poke to the eye is bloody painful and can easily lead to a win in 80s British wrestling. Of course though the view from the Liverpool fans is that it was GBH and the spurs fans that Bobby is a bloody wimp and should just man up (personal up, sorry got a bit sexist then).

Vorm got a lot of stick yesterday but from MOTD Spurs would have been battered without him.

Ibra's 500th goal is particularly Ibra-esque.

Check out my YouTube channel!
One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

I think a lot of teams would get battered if they played without a keeper.

You know what I mean. The general narrative was that Vorm was crap yesterday, but he didn't play hospital balls in his own half or forget how to head a football off the line. From the highlights he seemed one of your better players yesterday.

Nah, he didn't have a good game. I watched the game and whilst I wouldn't say he was 100% responsible for either goal (the 2nd was Vertonghan's fault), I think a better keeper (Loris) wouldn't have conceded in the same manner. (The first goal in particular).

He did perform a couple of Good saves, but think a lack of quality finishing by Liverpool played it's part. Moura was by far the best Spurs player, and Son once he was introduced. Not sure why Sanchez wasn't playing.
