how much spurs praise do I have to hear on this fucking commentary.

Spuds have this weird aura that makes commentators gush over them despite not really accomplishing much.

the worst part is I think they're praising the wrong bits. Their defence has been pretty solid but they just keep praising the attack lol.

Their defence is definitely their strong point but generally you're not a "big club" unless your emphasis is on attack, what some describe as "front-footed". So they try and hype them up as marauding attackers when they're not. Plus, Ange wasn't famous for being defensively sound, but for playing suicidally forward.

@Astrealix I’ve got the Spanish language broadcast so I’m missing that. 😂

@Astrealix Me neither. That’s what makes it so wonderful. Just watching the match and listening for the Gunners players names.
