[Politics] Rochdale v Tottenham

[Durlston]

Since when did he convert to a centre back?! Good to see him and his kidney again

Whatever happened to the poster Jim McNulty's other kidney?

We beg to differ. I don't call exaggeration like that ' stonewall ' It exemplifies everything that is wrong with the game.

I dont think that it was an exaggeration as he was taken out by a combination of two players.

 

[swindonseagull]

That'll teach me to be an early leaver. Switched to EFL.

me too

 

[BensGrandad]

I only remember him ever playing LB for us to be honest. Cultured player always looking to play it out of defence in a team that didn't always do that.

Wasnt that because were better covered with CB than LB.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Great result for the Rochdale, bless them. Did I hear the announcer say 'unfortunately Spuds are about to bring on Harry Kane' (or somesuch)?

How many will they (be allowed to) take to Wemberley I wonder?

Apparently they imported the turf from Romania. That won't be allowed, after Brexit. I swear I could see some sand seeping through in patches towards the end, too, which proves my point*

Just seen the result....well done Rochdale!

I think it’s a massive exaggeration, one of the Rochdale defenders (Rathborne) was nowhere near Ali. If there was contact with McGahey then it was minimal and Ali threw himself to the ground. It was a dive in my book, Ali is beginning to rival Dwayne Dibley in the diving stakes now.

A dive would be a player going down without contact Ali was caught and he may of made a meal out of it, the defender didn’t get anywhere near the ball.

If there was contact it was minimal and certainly not enough to cause the reaction of Ali, therefore still a dive.

I watched Leeds v Bristol City. Great end to the game.

Pleased that media luvvies Spuds have to do it all again.

If we use the Murray/Schelotto incidents as a measure then not a penalty. Thought it was unfortunate for the guy who was penalised as he had a great game.

 

[Weststander]

Yet more Spuds soft penalties. Poch has coached them well.

 

[Wardy's twin]

What this game shows is that if you have enough belief then you can get something out of the top 6 teams. It might sound wrong but we need to treat all our games as though they are the biggest games of our lives and go for it. Yes I know they did not have Kane or Alli or Dembelle on for 90 mins but we have better players than Rochdale we just need to match the latter's effort and self-belief.

We can't be faulted for effort.

But against top 6 sides, they all played their best 11. That makes a massive difference. Spuds without 3 top internationals are weakened.

When we took it to Liverpool and Chelsea, they took us apart, with awful goals conceded stats. CH was hamstrung with a slow squad.

Hopefully Locadia and Ulloa have changed all that.

we are/were so slow Ulloa is seen as an injection of pace.

I meant from Locadia. With the PL finishing of Ulloa.

But, I was surprised how mobile Ulloa was yesterday. Memories of him at 0 mph in his first Amex stint, sitting on the turf, moaning to refs about imaginery fouls.

No I agree, Ulloa is faster than what we had before, that's what's so funny.
To think posters are complaining about the team's current league position when in fact this team ought to be propping up t'other Albion.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Not a pen?

Deary me.

Player took Alli out.

I'd argue that the heaviness of the Chelsea defeat was a result of individual errors rather than us taking the game to them. We had two decent seen-'em-given penalty shouts and hit the post when 2-0 down before blunders by Duffy and Suttner cost us further goals
