I know this wasn't an actual Premier League game today since it was Champions League and against APOEL, but it involved Spurs so I will discuss it in this thread. I made the thread anyway, so I decree that it is allowed. :cool:
Anyway, I normally would have had class today, but I was so tired and didn't feel like getting up. Not the best idea when I'm already behind from being in the hospital. But I don't think I could've made it through that class. I'm surprised I stayed awake through the game. Not that football or Spurs are boring, but I've even fallen asleep watching ice hockey when I am sufficiently tired.
This game was kind of weird. Spurs definitely got through the first half on luck... I said as much on my Twitter and got a few likes on my tweet... surprised me because I feel like I don't totally understand football yet and it seemed far from an unusual or insightful thing to say. But I feel like I am getting it more and more lately. Like I've said before, I love to see goalkeeping and picked Spurs partially because of Hugo Lloris's placement on a list of top Premier League keepers. But I feel like for all the good saves he does make, I still keep seeing him screw up a lot. Maybe it's just my perception. I don't know. But today Hugo was trying to clear the ball away from the net, but then it bounced off another player and hurtled back towards the net. He chased after it but didn't catch up to it. Thankfully it went wide. I just remember sitting there saying "shit" under my breath a bunch of times watching that. That would have been probably the most ridiculous football thing I've seen (at least while watching an actual game) had it gone in. That and the general slow start for Spurs were the lowlights, but Harry Kane was the highlight. I think this was the third time I have seen him score a hat trick. That dude is insane. Was hoping to see Son score because I just love the guy, but Kane had the game's only goals. Good enough for me, I guess.
