The erisken push did look a pen to me, had we scored I expect we win but it would have papered over the the performance. By the same token the Everton disallowed goal could have been given and I don’t think we turn that deficit around. Football is a lot about mentality and momentum - if you’d offered Wolves the draw at 1-1 I think they snap your hand off.

Everton’s disallowed goal was for a soft push, yet the day earlier Sead Kolasinac did a similar thing but harder vs Burnley and the ref didn’t blink
It does feel like refs don’t know what to give anymore for big decisions and gamble

It’s a tough job, maybe VAR will help for those that aren’t a matter of opinion, especially if players are booked for video proved dives in game.

Well kane was booked for a dive

If he did dive that’s good. All I want is consistency and his booking should have had no impact on the Eriksen decision. If a 10 second replay helps make reverse an obviously incorrect decision then great, if not we are no worse off than we were the original one.

Sounds much like my experience. I usually stand behind ‘our’ goal so I knew today was going to be a different experience. My plans changed last minute meaning I could attend today and only managed to get a seat yesterday, in block 119.
When I got to my seat and realised there was only a narrow strip of material separating me from the away fans I thought ‘this could be fun’. It wasn’t.
From the beginning everyone around me was videoing/ taking photos of the Wolves fans. There was absolutely no reaction when our team was being read out. Yes,there was cheering when Kane scored, but no singing throughout the game. I tried when I could hear a song from the other end but it was just drowned out by the Wolves fans (and I really don’t have the voice to carry a song on my own. Empty a venue, yes but lead the singing, no). Not everyone sings, I don’t have a problem with that. But there is normally some kind of verbal encouragement through the game. Where I was, there was nothing.
When Wolves equalised, the Wolves fans nearest our section were strangely very angry and directed lots of abuse, vitriol etc towards us. I just laughed at them but most around me were just videoing them. No returning insults or baiting. Same for second goal. Same for their third goal. After the third goal I lost it a bit with the bloke behind me, ‘why are you videoing them? Why? You’re Spurs aren’t you? Why video them?’ He just shrugged, looked slightly bemused at being berated by some mad woman and carried on.
Around the same time there was a girl, about 20 ish, standing with her back to the pitch, jumping up and down, with a stupid grin on her face, whilst her boyfriend filmed her. We’d just gone 3-1 down and she’s jumping up and down smiling and laughing. She was too far away from me for me to say anything.
It was an eye opener for me to be surrounded by football tourists to this extent and not an experience I want to repeat.
We will of course have tourists at NWHL but I don’t think it will be anywhere near the same magnitude.

Wembley is easy to get tickets
The new ground won’t be for some time I’m sure... unless we become brick

Total time played by starting XI for their club sides this season...
Spurs: 18,744 minutes
Wolves: 15,367 minutes
No wonder our team ran out of steam in 2nd half, as you say... Although the Goons have no such excuse for their capitulation...
Liverpool: 19,620 minutes
ARSEnal: 15,468 minutes

Apparently Poch was going to bring Skip on just before they scored. And then elected not to. What made him change his mind? We needed something different before they scored, we needed it even more so after they scored and the momentum changed. Doesn’t make much sense to me.

That might have been just outside the box. The second one was even clearer to me. Their guy making sure our guy doesn't get his head on the cross. Ref was having a stinker though. Seemed like he let most things pass as a shoulder barge, but occasionally he'd blow for something really soft.

It looked like it was for Son, delayed it as defending a corner is usually the time to let not make a change and I guess his role was to contain rather than create. Subs is a tough one as hindsight is wonderful but I believed danny Rose would have offered more in the last 20 and although it may have related to his fitness Alli for Moura impacted our ability to keep the ball. When everyone is back we have options but today was down to collective fatigue impacting us both on and off the ball in the last half hour.

Not sure why you think that, unless you are focusing on the Christmas fixtures in isolation. To my knowledge other teams did not have a tough Champions league qualification and an extra derby against fierce rivals leading into Christmas.

We have the same amount of games as everyone else but we have the shortest period between.
Same as last season.
That’s a fact
Liverpool have the biggest spread and therefore the most rest between games

I was in pretty much the same section as you but not quite as close to the Wolves fans (though there were 3 in front of us). When a couple of our songs started, there were a few in the section singing and then suddenly, I could just hear my voice and a small handful of others (and my voice is fudging horrendous). There was one lad who tried giving it loads in the first half but the apathy killed him I think.
I don't get going to a game and watching it through a smartphone. Shaky footage from a less than ideal vantage point that you'll rarely/never watch again. There's MOTD or Sky if you want to see a proper recording of the game. Is the idea to show your mates or put on Facebook to prove you were there? I told my mates I was going and, guess what, they didn't need a video recording on my phone as proof. They just believed me.
I was disgusted by what I saw. fudgers grinning with their smartphones as Wolves put goals past us. I was sitting there so fudging annoyed at Spurs and watching my little fella's heart break the same way mine did when Mabbsy put that third goal beyond Clemence in 1987. I couldn't comprehend how we lost to Coventry. Me and my son couldn't comprehend how Spurs could lose to Wolves. But on the way home, although it fudging stings, we both resolved we'd be back again soon no matter what it takes and there was a strange sort of comfort for me, and I hope for him, in knowing that a defeat just strengthens our support. I'd be amazed if the pricks with their smartphones and their footage of Wolves fans celebrating have that tonight.
Sorry about the rant.

I knew that before mate, it was in a BBC article. Not helpful when we have so many injuries.
