Plenty of time, but the momentum and ‘feel’ of this match has me nervy.
Edit: looks like Jota is coming in to net at least one late goal. Let’s GO YOU REDS!
Edit 2: Spurs look like they have decided to park the bus at the 65th minute.

Seriously? Everyone in red is putting in a shift. Spurs deserve credit for being consistently well-positioned in their own half.
Emerson Royal keeps getting into really good positions and he just lacks the passing quality to turn them into good chances.
Having watched Kane get a yellow for an easy red earlier in the year, sympathy will be fairly low.
I think Spurs are onto something with Romero he’s been both good and commanding.
They are not onto anything with Emerson he blows

Romero has been excellent all year. Emerson is miscast as a wingback but Spurs have no other options for that role.
Given the simple through ball he played to Alisson right before the goal he may be miscast as a footballer
Bah. Not unexpected though. Spurs were excellent defensively and Pool were not precise enough. AA had a very poor game and Robertson wasn’t much better. This result brings goal difference back into play FWIW.
He’s very good defensively, he has good athletic ability, and he works very hard. But yeah, he leaves a lot to be desired on the ball.
Well, Spurs won a 1-1 draw, that’s how I see things. *sigh*
Can one of Newcastle, Wolves, or West Ham pull off a miracle?

I can understand why the natural instinct for Conte was to play for a point at the end but I’m not sure it really made sense.
Great showing by Spurs nonetheless though.

Emerson has been very stout defensively, but he has left a lot to be desired on offense which is a problem given his role in Conte's system. He hasn't been a complete disaster because he doesn't give anything away on the defensive end and Spurs have had enough firepower since the Bentancur/Kulusevski purchase that it hasn't been too big of an issue on offense.
I won’t be surprised (assuming conte stays) if Spurs buy 3 or even 4 wingbacks this summer.
It’s actually 8. They beat City twice (once way back in the first game of the season) and drew with Liverpool twice.
I think Sessegnon/Reguilon could be a good rotation on the left, but RWB is clearly a spot to improve.
Just caught up with the Brighton game and I concur wholeheartedly. Proud day for the club. I'm especially happy for Cucurella getting his first. That guy is absolutely tireless and everything he does is with great intent. Just a screamer into the top of the net.
That's wins over Arsenal, Spurs, and Man United in the last month-plus. Finishing strong.

10 total then right? Spurs are the only reason City hasn't yet had a guard of honor
Not sure that’s correct. City have 0/6 points from Spurs, Liverpool have 4/6. If they had both taken the same number of points from Spurs then City would currently have a 4 point lead over Liverpool with them having 4 matches to go and Liverpool having 3, so they wouldn’t be champions yet.
Fast start for Arsenal as Nketiah picks off a keeper mistake in the fifth minute. Arsenal with an opportunity to be a point out of 3rd at the end of the day and ahead of Spurs regardless of the NLD result.
Eddie already with two against his former club. Beautiful pass by Martinelli. Would be amazing to get a few more and be able to rest some key players ahead of Thursday considering Spurs had to go full bore yesterday for all 90+ minutes.
They don’t send the ref over to *not* change it, you’re getting your red.
I don't know that much about soccer, but if that wasn't a red card, I have no idea what would merit a red card.
LC are peppering his net and he s denied 3-4 goals. I’ll member forgive the dude for his reckless, snazzy play on VVD, but the guy has been spectacular these past few weeks.
