it was better for 3 reasons

- we had a long spell where we looked pretty good instead of being mauled for pretty much 90 minutes ( we were mauled for the rest of it tbf)

- we didn't play with heads down and awful passing all game

- we didn't settle for the defeat

we're still the only team spurs have scored more than once against in the league so they're not actually that great

    - Very much this their fixtures have been v kind (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 20, 10:58:29
- you seriously thought Spuds would win the league this year? (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 10:48:59
  - No. I just heard that from our fans when they trounced us. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 10:49:31
    - so your point is what exactly? (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 10:57:10
      - I think his point is just (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Oct 20, 11:00:05
        
        i know what his real point is and i disagree with it (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 11:14:15
        
        but he's right when he says we've struggled to create against anyone (n/m) (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Oct 20, 11:19:30
        
        he doesn't say that though, he says that he could've sworn Spuds were going to win the lea (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 11:23:43
        
        nope (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Oct 20, 11:26:31
        
        again, perhaps his overall position is valid - i don't know because that's not what his po (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 11:33:26
        
        When we lost to Spuds they were the best thing since sliced bread (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 11:42:53
        
        i don't think spurs will make the top 4 now (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 20, 11:01:46
        
        over-reaction to a single result (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Oct 20, 11:03:41
        
        hardly score either (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 20, 11:04:44
        
        that's been their problem so far, clearly (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Oct 20, 11:11:46
      - simple, that every time we lose to a big team, (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 10:59:47
        
        why would you think that? (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 11:06:02
        
        You talk some shit sometimes... I said it because it is true. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 11:40:05
        
        which bit is true, the bit where you could've sworn Spuds were going to win the league? (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 11:46:38
        
        My post was a response to the post below stating Arsenal will walk this league (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 11:48:45
        
        so respond to the post below then (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 11:52:36
        
        so what? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 11:53:12
        
        you state you are responding to a post below, so respond to it (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 11:59:32
        
        so what... the point stands as a response or indeed as a standalone (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 12:07:16
        
        the point being that you think the quality of the opposition should be ignored (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 20, 13:03:25
        
        No, just it is tiresome seeing the latest team to pound us proclaimed as world beaters (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 14:31:15
    - How do you think Norwich played yesterday? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 20, 10:50:51
      - Usual problems in the final third. Defence looking leakier than last season. (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 10:53:52
      - initially, from right to left. Then, after HT, from left to right. (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Oct 20, 10:53:45
- Arsenal have only played spurs so far... (NCFC) - loz, Oct 20, 10:46:30
  - We did far better than against Spurs. But still struggled badly in the final third. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 10:52:54
    - But how many sides ... (NCFC) - loz, Oct 20, 10:55:01
      - They didn't have Ozil when Villa played them (n/m) (NCFC) - woody, Oct 20, 11:15:13
      - We have struggles badly in attack against everyone (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Oct 20, 10:58:25
        
        and the set pieces have dried up (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 20, 11:02:35
      - only spurs (toothless) have failed to score against them (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 20, 10:56:12
  - it was better for 3 reasons (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 20, 10:51:52
    - 45% possession... (NCFC) - loz, Oct 20, 10:56:58
      - our good spell came when flamini went off (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 20, 11:00:07
- that's why it's such a great league this year (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 20, 10:46:27
  - Oh,thanks. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Oct 20, 10:49:31
