Jamie Carragher's voice is giving me cancer.

Mourinho effect in full swing now. Dark arts shit less forgivable at a club that wont win anything really.

What dark arts? Sterling should have been sent off for his tackle on Dele and then he dived after the penalty and somehow avoided a second yellow.

Just generally his matches being shite and scrappy and cunty. Famous for it.

Got any examples of where you can see Spurs playing like that on purpose during this match?

As far as I can see it's pretty much the same as it was under Pochettino. It's not like Aurier has never given away a penalty before.

Inspector Norse

I don't think it's so much dirtiness as general negativity. Mourinho has become something of a self-parody and goes into any game against a top ten team with a team set up to cling on for 0-0.

The massive brawl.

Sterling had just dived to try to get a second penalty.

My girlfriend told me a story about her american friend who was kicked out of a tottenham game a few years ago along with his dad because they weren't cheering for either side and the rest of the crowd started booing them. Has anything like that ever happened before? I'm extremely dubious, if there's any truth to the story I'm sure it has been embellished.

Still, theres a way to conduct yourselves, with professionalism and sportsmanship.

Have you ever watched football before?

Is this one of those "goes wrong" shows?

Former England winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

This is the problem with VAR, it just seems to take an absolute age to make a decision and chaos ensues in the meantime. But VAR knows all so, there you go.

Glad to see that they can employ thick as fuck people paid to just blurt kneejerk stuff out that are women too.

Ha I am taking the piss to be fair, I want Spurs to win this, I just despise Mourinho.

Zinchenko red, oops!

Don't worry, I had assumed that!

EDIT: WAGWAN BERGWIJN!

Great finish. Its things like that which make me realise how athletic you have to make that shit look easy.

DrGreggles

Looks like Man City could batter Spurs twice this season and up with a single point to show for it.

Bergwijn with a career-ending injury, there.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Arsenal 10th having won 6 out of 25 games played. A truly rotten league.

What would you consider a good league?

Norwich finished 3rd in 1993 with a negative goal difference. Should have packed up the league then and took up baseball.

It's never too late to take up baseball, you see...

...and that's why it is great. Thanks.

I really don't understand your problem. Would you prefer to have the usual top 4/6 well adrift of those just happy to be making up the numbers?

It's going to well over before the end of March I think simply amazing year for the klopp lot

Oh God. It'd be terrible if the Premier League season was cancelled due to coronavirus before Liverpool had acheived enough points to win it. :(

A mate of mine said at the United game last night, which was pretty dreary, he did try to get a chant going for our new signing:

Viva Ighalo, viva Ighalo
Flies in from Beijing
Hope he's not coughing...
