Echoes of Gazza Euro '96

Wow. Unbelievable Jeff!! Stunning. Incredible. World class!!

Delle Alli scored a blinder!! It was worth two goals according to Sky!! If you cast your mind back to Euro '96 and Gazza V Scotland you have Alli's goal. And then we can still bring Chadli on. He may not be everyone's favourite but he scores goals. As last week, the result flattered our opposition. Hennessy was inspired for Palace and it looked like a Vertonghen own goal was going to sting us in the rear.

Palace did have chances and a World Class save from Lloris along with the cross bar twice meant we still had this game to win.
We created numerous chances and it looked like a frustrating afternoon was going to end with disappointment. But this is Spurs under Pochettino. We don't fold these days and when Chadli dunked the ball in to Kane, he buried his header home and it was game on!!

Enter Dele Alli. Thigh, boot, over head, dropped shoulder, turn, volley......my goodness me.

​

Another 3 points and the Spurs go marching on!!!!

 

Matt I thought Ali scored a screamer but up step's Chadli and puts one in the net with a cracker of a shot,Times are looking good for us,cant wait for Norwich

This is not just a team they play for each other,the Club;and for Poch, some thing we have not had for year's..Now I fear the Vulture's from RM will come a calling!!!COYS..

 

Well, there I was thinking a point had been rescued... And then up steps Alli, then Chadli - superb. Nacer has a habit of getting vital goals and these are 3 important points today.

Palace are in a poor run of form, no Bolasie and were absolutely there for the taking today.

Well done lads!

 

I was watching the Sky commentators watching the instant replay....all four career professionals applauded....that doesn't happen very often. Alli very Glennesque....fair caressed the ball. Sweet.
A great response lads....starting to feel good about things....must try not to get carried away...
COYS

 

Just for tonight Bazza I will get "Carried'away",in the morning I will come back down to earth,LVG and MU in the **** I'm a happy man..COYS

 

They will Nomadico....a test for DL for sure....we will see if he has the private parts to deny them....mmmm

Is that not priceless Nomadico.....curry next, then Sky and then MOTD to listen to the pundits.....

 

Bazza, I did not think DL had any private parts he has failed to show any in the past, nothing has changed, any thing for a dollar..

I never lower myself to such levels to watch past has been's,I prefer the beach where I am right now;;COYS

 

What a hit son!!!!!
Important 3 points against Palace and Man U dropped points, with the man everyone was talking about on here, Charlie Austin scoring.
Looks like Levy let the saints sign him to make Man u drop points.
Chadli comes off the bench to score and provide an assist.
Delle Allis goal was world class and himself stated that he had "Shocked myself" on Spurs TV
Hopefully Verts is alright after limping off.
COYS

 

(Come on Eileen)

Dele Alli
Oh i swear this i mean
When you play for r team
You mean everything!!!

What a f#cking Goal.
Take a bow son, take a bow!

COYS!!!!

 

I've just watched Gazza at Euro '96. Alli's goal is miles better. There. I've said it.

 

Thoughts....having just watched the Sky full game....

- great energy and fitness levels
- great team work throughout
- Moussa strong as an ox
- Alli a delight
- defence strong, hopefully Jan is not too bad
- a little fortunate with the crossbar hits
- no below par performances

All the key markers, goals scored, goals against, average age, shots, shooting accuracy....and, and...well played all around and well done MP for making the Chadli switch early....great team performance.

COYS

 

The club striving for top 4 or better should win games like one against a desperate Eagles, who are a solid mid-table side trying to stop losing .
And Spurs did!!

Not only Alli's goal will be a Goal of the Year. It is a generational one. Hats off for the lad!

GOYS!!!

 

Quality game and team effort from beginning to end, the lads really held their nerve in this game and finished off a very good Palace with the goal of the year. The game start about 2am here which isn't a problem for me but unfortunately for my family as well as my neighbours when Deli scores a goal like that everyone hears it, oopps.. sorry, back to sleep girls.
Just superb, I wonder who's going to be young player of the year ? not sure I could say it was better than Gazza's but even to be able to compare it makes it a wonder goal. For me this was my game of the year, we've had some very good wins, City, Spam, but this one was hard fought and finished with style, credit to Poch too, I think he got this one right, if we are going to play the top three behind the striker as compact and interchangeable as we do then they need to be goal scorers and with Eriksen, Son and Alli we have something special, sorry but Lamela although better this year just isn't in the same class. The subs were also good, Chadli isn't a 90min player but coming on late in the game with a bit of space to work in and brings an extra goal threat, if it wasn't for Delli's wonder goal we'd be raving about his goal which was also superb. Fantastic game lads, well done.
Also good to see Austin net the winner at OT, we didn't have to spend a penny on him but he's scoring goals for us. COYS.

 

Think you are a Easts Man notnats. Good to see you follow the other chooks too. 4th place is ours to lose, this team really plays for each other. Anything more, well To Dare is To Do. COYS.

 

lol looks a bit like an old Roosters pic except for the round ball, im a Broncs fan but i do have a soft spot for the chooks

 

Very nice to see Poch change a game from the bench,he is learning along with the team he is constructing,the team bond is there to see,some thing we have not had for a while,the entire team play's for each other and the shirt so I understand why Poch is reluctant to bring in any one who could disrupt the harmony,now we wait to see the price we paid for the win,Vert's,Dier,both carrying knocks,with luck both will be back next week,the other potential cost is the limelight given to Ali,his wonder goal shown world wide will have RM wetting there pant's,and PSG printing money ready for a summer raid,and as Bazza put it Levy need's to "Grow a pair"to prevent this happening,but as ever we are Spurs so lets enjoy the moment and relish the lime light..COYS

 

I don't know where the talk of RM getting Alli is coming from.
Don't they have a transfer ban?

 

RM wetting there pant's because they CAN'T get him due to the ban,only PSG with there Qatar money machine.



How can a weekend get any better??The shower up the road about to get BEATEN at home,meaning a win next week and possible finish ABOVE the SCUM now that IS a good finish to a weekend!!!!COYS

 

Diego Costa, love it when he plays that shower - winds em' up proper!

Mugs.

COYS

 

Tim Sherwood reckons we have the best squad other than Man City!! Cough.
