Wolves small squad and match schedule has caught up with them today

Doucoure makes it 2-0 to the home side who are the form side after Liverpool over this spell of games.

Thanks lads. Will see it on MOTD later.

No point. More chance of Keown winning world's sexiest man than Lineker saying it's a penalty against spurs.

Gbear · 01-01-2020 5:16pm

Southampton pretty clearly outplaying Spurs here.

Still wouldn't be surprised to see Spurs nick a couple of goals.

But you can expect some pithy, witty soundbites, and a strong defence of Deli and Sir Harry's tenancy to fall over....

Liam O · 01-01-2020 5:20pm

Sissoko really has no business in an upper PL midfield.

Harry Palmr · 01-01-2020 5:23pm

fightingcock is in meltdown.

Wolves back in the game Netto has er netted.

super_furry · 01-01-2020 5:27pm

Not sure what Spurs would have expected anything different. Everyone knows what kind of football Mourinho plays and that this current group of Tottenham players is woefully unsuited to that.

It'll either end with Mourinho agitating for funds that he's not going to get or he'll eventually get enough in sales and transfer money to try and turn this squad into a Chelsea B team.

Guy:Incognito · 01-01-2020 5:32pm

Was Kane being kept onside there?

Harry Palmr · 01-01-2020 5:32pm

VAR checking............Kane going off.

and he has left the pitch.

tayto lover · 01-01-2020 5:32pm

Hamstring Harry.

Harry Palmr · 01-01-2020 5:33pm

Offside 1-0 Kane disallowed.

Agent Coulson · 01-01-2020 5:34pm

Not even close and that took ages to decide.

Kiith · 01-01-2020 5:36pm

That's the Jose we know :P

Agent Coulson · 01-01-2020 5:36pm

Jose cracking up lol

razorblunt · 01-01-2020 5:39pm

Jose acting the gowl again, deflecting from his teams poor performance .... again.

I'd have some sympathy for Kane tbh. Watched one of the plethora of games over the Xmas, and Kane played the full 90 minutes, although he was clearly out on his feet for the latter stages of that game. You'd have to question Jose and the sport science people for what looks like a fatigue type injury to Kane at the end of a busy period like this, better rotation required (although as we saw at Chelsea, Jose doesn't always take advice from the medical staff too well.)

tayto lover · 01-01-2020 5:41pm

Southampton sitting back too much now inviting Spurs on.

tayto lover · 01-01-2020 5:46pm

Long should have scored there. Not even hitting the target from 4 yards.

bangkok · 01-01-2020 5:46pm

jose lol

Harry Palmr · 01-01-2020 5:47pm

Newcastle 0 - 3 Leicester Choudhury with the coup de grace.

It's not even. He's a sad tribute act who can't even get sent off anymore.

Jose in his pomp would have been sent to the stands, riled up the players and the crowd and made a late change that would see a defender go up front and head an equaliser.

A Dub in Glasgo · 01-01-2020 5:50pm

That was a great goal from Choudhury

Harry Palmr · 01-01-2020 5:50pm

How long until Herrera, Matic and Fellaini are being linked to Spurs?

retalivity · 01-01-2020 5:55pm

Why did ndombele go off after 25 mins, was he injured? Or has jose found his shaw

doc_17 · 01-01-2020 5:55pm

Jose’s time has passed. Long ball football isn’t what the top teams do these days.

Agent Coulson · 01-01-2020 5:56pm

Jose is going to leave Spurs in tatters.

super_furry · 01-01-2020 5:56pm

Looking forward to Jose's post-match scrum now. He'll drop 'cryptic' messages about players he can't trust, answer sarcastically when asked about transfers in and money available and insist that Ndombele is a player he loves.

theoneeyedman · 01-01-2020 6:00pm

Another good win for Watford.

Strange VAR decision in they game, a yellow for a professional foul changed to a red in spite of it being a borderline decision, with another defender in the facinity. Certainly not clear and obvious, a bit of a departure on what we've seen already.

Great to see Danny Ings healthy and scoring goals again.

Gbear · 01-01-2020 6:00pm

I honestly don't know why anyone would want the hassle of Mourinho at this stage.

Maybe it'll be seen as worth it if he wins the FA cup or something, but there's no long term plan, they'll be in a worse place when he leaves than when he came and he'll be a pain in the hole to everyone for the last half of his tenure.

Honestly think it's all down to Daniel Levy's ego. He wants to prove that he's done such a good job in transforming Spurs into an elite team that he can attract a manager of Mourinho's quality.

Trouble is, he's about ten years too late.

eigrod · 01-01-2020 6:03pm

Southampton bearing the fruits of sticking with their manager after the debacle v Leicester.

That's harsh on Danny Ings.

Rodgers has done some great work over the past year.

RugbyLover123 · 01-01-2020 6:20pm

Merson saying Spurs should be after Ings because Erickson will be off.....

.G. · 01-01-2020 6:44pm

Var gets a good offside call!

01-01-2020 6:45pm

I spotted that offside on the first replay.
Was surprised it wasnt picked up on by either on NBC.

Shanotheslayer · 01-01-2020 6:51pm

Mental VAR stuff going on. Cant even explain it.

Ref blew for offside. Player was on. Then checking to see if foul, but whistle was gone for offside?

What match?

Edit. Forgot you're an Everton fan so I presume it's that one. Will watch at half time hopefully they show it

And then after deciding it wasn't a foul, they go back and give Everton a freekick for the offside that VAR proved was onside.

Agent Coulson · 01-01-2020 7:01pm

They really are fcuking VAR up big time in England.

TitianGerm · 01-01-2020 7:04pm

That was a nice goal from Haller.

Sharp MZ700 · 01-01-2020 7:06pm

How was that a peno for Noble? He kicked the ground ffs.

Another VAR shocker.

Harry Palmr · 01-01-2020 7:10pm

For the first time I think I now believe Bournemouth are more likely to be relegated than not.

They switch off every season for spells but this time it looks pretty terminal as they can hardly buy a goal while shipping a large number even by Howe's standard.

super_furry · 01-01-2020 7:12pm

Mahrez having a stinker for City up front so far.

It's as if they are actually having a competition between the officials as to which of them can make the worst decisions.

Sorry it's official as one of the guys only makes the call and the others have no input despite sitting watching screens beside them.

Had a good few injuries to the back four.

Probably be subbed at HT so. He's a very binary player.

theoneeyedman · 01-01-2020 7:18pm

I know it's new years day, and everyone is hungover, but the crowd at the city game are comatose..... Zzzzzzz
