errors in both his first two matches, you mean.

The commentators talking about Spurs having the advantage in 'experience' is just yet more Man U friendly bullshit.
Livermore was playing at Leeds last year, and Walker was at QPR in the Championship for the first half of the season. Kaboom only really broke into the 1st team last season too, and then spent most of it injured.

Reina and Cech both had flappy spasms, but those didn't make headlines. The de Gea stuff was part of the media's footballing soap opera plotline, nothing more.
It's the same soap bullshit that has Benny and Gomes as weak links and Bale as the bestest player the whole wide world evaaaa.

agree with you about BEK. Don't think much of Gomes, tbh.

He makes daft mistakes when his confidence is low. He makes incredible saves too though, that few keepers in the world would pull off.
Not saying he's faultless or anything, but the way 'Lawro' and friends make him out to be the worst keeper in the EPL and chortle away at replays of any error is way over the top, and not something they do when the likes of Saint Cech fuck up. They do the same thing with Benny. They do something similar with Thud being 'immobile' and 'carrying some extra weight'. On the flip side, they rarely criticise VDV even when he has a shit game and contributes nothing beyond a couple of optimistic digs from range. Aaron Lennon has made fuck all impact for a year and a half, but again he escapes the slo-mo analysis because he's already cemented his place as a lightening fast international winger.
They do it with players from all teams; they fit them in to the storyline they're developing. I compare it to a soap-opera, because that's exactly what it is. It's irritating on its own, but what makes it really fucking annoying is that a multitude of mugs buy it and then spew it back all over radio phone-ins and internet message boards.

I do take your point. However, I came to the conclusion that De Gea should have stopped all the goals he's conceded so far this season on my own...He makes daft mistakes when his confidence is low. He makes incredible saves too though, that few keepers in the world would pull off.

I found out last week that psychosis is the detachment from reality.
Have yourself checked out mate

I love your optimism but neither of those players would have improved you any or will do. Spurs are just a shit football team.

and he has dropped three fairly easy long shots this evening

I left a little after we hit the post, and that's how I'll remember it.
If ever there was a game that showed the value of Modric....

I didn't expect to get much in the way of points out of it, and even the scoreline doesn't bother me much. What worries me more is that we crumbled and lost our composure. We used to do that every time, but had shown signs of of a bit more mental resilience over the past two seasons.
Hopefully a bit more midfield cojones will bring back the confidence. Sandro can't come back soon enough, and neither can the boost we'd get with two or three quality signings.

First game of the season. Not entirely irrelevant in the last 20-25.

I didn't see the post-match interview and this may have been covered there; some clarifying quotes from 'arry on Modric and Adebayor:
