    Cold weather means stickier blood, so greater risk of heart attack and stroke, so that's probably why.

    Bournemouth 5-0 up over Swansea at HT. I think they'll get through now.

    Many people are obsessed with formations.
    Spurs v Man city is a great example of flexible movement. 

    Hard to tell on TV when you can only see  less that half the pitch but Walker has been seen overlapping and putting the ball in the box, going infield and being an Inverted full back tucking in midfield.

    The skill level is on a different planet to the lower leagues and the fitness levels are off the scale.

    Nonsense, City are rubbish, look at Tedic and Fiorini.

    Outrageous standard on show from both teams, the pace and movement and close one touch passing is on another planet

    The passing is sublime so far. I keep thinking the defenders will make a mistake soon and then I remember it's not Cafc !
    I like the route one Spurs tried as well when the keeper just got there before Richarlison.

    There's many on here who have seen Charlton beat City home and away and Spurs home and away. Sweet and sour watching this game and how the top teams play now.

    Didn't see much wrong with that, keeper has to do better.

    Anyone know if McCoist thinks the keeper’s got to be stronger there?

    You're a bit late with your report on Tuesday's game.

    I don't get to watch teams like those two very often but personally found the majority of the match tediously boring, much prefer two regular teams over those two trying to sideways pass each other to death in the defence & midfield. 

    I appreciate it wins games & trophies but the Pep style of football is way more dull then so called hoof ball to me, a shame it has infected all of football in recent years.

    Came away from WHL gutted last night.  Its the hope that kills you every time FFs.

    Beaten by far the better team, no complaints.  Thought Van der Venn and Romero were outstanding at the back.  We missed Sarr and Son badly.

    I don’t remember cheering that loudly watching football for several years. Rode their luck but brilliant from Maidstone.

    How is Sam Bone doing for Maidstone?

    He was on our books as a youngster before getting Cancer and subsequently released, but seem to recall he was quite highly rated - He was playing over in Ireland for a while

    Another ex Charlton youth Jeremy Sarmiento playing.  He left us for Benfica - where it didn't work out - now at Brighton and on loan at Ipswich.

    Romero is a good, tough defender but in possession at the back, he tends to really slow down the Spurs break outs, not a good passer

    Did that take a tiny deflection? Not that it wasn't deserved.
