CoolerPseudonym, I have been a Spurs supporter for quite a while, but I’m an American, and my connection to the team is not, possibly, as organic as someone who lives there.
I literally picked them. Because I was mad at some Arsenal supporters who were making antisemitic jokes on an EPL discussion board.
Then I had a roommate who supported Chelsea and I didn’t like him either.
The rest is Pascal’s Wager. Eventually it becomes emotionally real, and then instinctive.
misterprickles, Ilie Dumitrescu on #Dragusin's move to #Spurs:
"It is an extraordinary transfer for him and for Romania. He is the fourth Romanian to arrive there and I have great confidence that he made the perfect choice”
Obviously Gica Popescu and Dumitrescu were Romanians 1&2. Pub quiz time: who was the third?

cwgrody, Fun matchup between Joker and Wemby. Joker said, “He blocked six or seven of my shots.”
But Wemby didn’t block enough. Joker finished with 42 points, 16 rebounds and six assists, and he got a lot of help from Aaron Gordon (23 points, seven boards) and Michael Porter Jr. (15 points, career-high 16 rebounds).
Wemby, meanwhile, filled up the stat sheet with 23 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists and nine blocks.
Final score: #Nuggets 110, #Spurs 105. Next up: At the #Clippers Thursday. #NBA @nba

cwgrody, Solid win for the #Nuggets. Starters (besides Murray) rested for the fourth quarter while the reserves closed it out. Nuggets 117, #Spurs 106, final.
The numbers:
— Joker: 31 points, seven rebounds, five assists;
— Murray: 15 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists;
— Porter Jr.: 13 points, seven boards;
— Three reserves in double figures: Holiday (13), Braun (13), Watson (10).
TiffyBelle, Hoping this isn't gonna be another one of those games like against West Ham where Spurs dominate possession and chances, but just struggle to capitalize.
This definitely feels like a must-win game this afternoon to get out of this slump and consolidate within the top 4.

cwgrody,
TiffyBelle, Love Udogie's movement for his goal there. Saw Son was providing the width on the left, and cut inside into a central position to overload the box.
Udogie's first PL goal, and well deserved. Smart play from our left back.
Still need to keep capitalizing from our great start. We know what happens if we don't.

beingreal, If you compare our car crash with the season our noisy neighbours are having, can they really be satisfied that 14 games in, over one third of the season gone, that they are only 6 points ahead of us.
Going along at 2.4 pts per game they are going to find it difficult to increase that pace whereas, with a full squad again we certainly should.
I'm optimistic
TiffyBelle, Now that's what I'm talking about! 2-0 up in a goal very similar to the first. Son's been excellent out wide and Richarlison couldn't miss from there.
#Angeball only works if we score goals, and today we look like we're in that mood.

cwgrody,
TiffyBelle, That should be game. Richarlison with Spurs third goal, and a great finish too.
We're actually getting value from our £60m center forward. Has Richy turned a corner? If he can perform in the middle consistently, Son will be an absolute menace on the outside.
Great ball from Pedro Porro.
A rampant Spurs are having fun out here! You love to see it.
3-0 // #TOTNEW

TiffyBelle, Full time and an emphatic Spurs victory.
✅ Exciting, attacking football where we capitalize on our chances.
✅ Richarlison netting 2 goals and building his confidence.
✅ Some great wide play by Son and Udogie that ran Newcastle ragged.
✅ Kulusevski's Phantom of the Opera roleplay.
✅ Spurs and #Angeball is BACK, baby!
4-1 (FT) // #TOTNEW

30yrdscreamer, Wish I'd watched the footy - sounds like a bonkers game
trttr, @mlawton @30yrdscreamer Jackson never looked sure of anything. Even afterwards he looked embarrassed.
Son has such a quick trigger, I also thought he had pulled it off. He immediately knew the counter was coming too....
mlawton, @mike @30yrdscreamer that’s hilarious! 😂
