Spurs up to yesterday have over achieved this season with out Kane; yes I know it means other players step up but it's bollocks to think they don't miss him.
I'm baffled with Ange Postecoglu tactics yesterday ? Why against 3 fast forwards in Gordon, Barnes and Isak, would you play with such a high line and while attacking your opponents box have no defenders in your own half? Isak couldn't be off side yesterday for the 3rd as he was just in his own half when the pass was played and the highly rated Van de Ven (played like Bambi on ice !) couldn't catch the flying Isak who finished with aplomb.
Ange Postecoglu has had a good season and the players quite rightly rate him but defending with a high line is risky when losing the ball in transition against the fast forwards of Newcastle.
Because it's the only way he plays. There is no other plan no matter how the opposition set up, or their strengths and weaknesses.
They continued to attack and play a high line even when down to 9 men v Chelsea, instead of sitting in and trying to hold onto a draw, and ended up losing 4-1.
I almost felt dirty today wanting palace to win. But as it was against the bin dippers I forgive myself. Back to hating palace again now though.
Wanting Palace or Millwall to win against anyone …. Nah, not for me. Will never cheer them mugs on.
And If they play each other, a 0-0 that’s abandoned after 80 mins (so match stands) cos it’s gone down to 5 aside after a massive ruck on the pitch that leads to a season long suspension for all their best players.
Come on, own up, who had the Palace/Villa double today?
Or even the away treble to include Fulham @ 318/1. Throw in Ross County for good measure and you could have had 3827/1. Wonder if the bookies had a good day today!

Sticking to my prediction that it’s gonna be City again.
Wonderful isn't it.

Can I take the credit after doing a £5 double on Liverpool and Arsenal
Missed the last 6 years I suppose. (About to be 7.)

Villa deserve top 4 and he deserves all the plaudits for taking this team there.
