There'd be nothing to read on here then. :D

It depends on what your criteria are for regarding it as deserved. Here are some stats:

Total Shots: Albion 8, Spurs 20
Shots on target: Albion 4, Spurs 8
Shots blocked: Albion 1, Spurs 9
Shots off target: Albion 3, Spurs 3
Possession: Albion 29%, Spurs 71%
Total passes: Albion 230, Spurs 599
Pass success: Albion 61%, Spurs 90%
Corners: Albion 5, Spurs 8

Source: whoscored.com

If those stats indicate a deserved point "however you look at it", I'll make a note to ask for some rose-tinted glasses as a Christmas present!

We scored one and they scored one

thats all that matters

Nearly every report I have seen has been that Spurs outclassed us first half but we were better second half

There has to be negativity though as it doesnt fit in with the Pulis bashing agenda

its not just the winning thats important...its rubbing the losers face in it after that counts

Bring up stats all day , doesn't show the difference on paper or in reality between the two squads.
Look at it like this , Spurs let probably our best player go without blinking .....
A well earned decent point from a very good side from where im standing despite not playing to the plan 1st half as TP said.

My final comment on this is that you're now moving the goalposts. What you originally said was that we deserved a draw "however you look at it" and I replied pointing out how such an assertion was incorrect.

Seems pretty simple to me. We deserved a point because we scored 1 perfectly legitimate goal, and they scored 1 perfectly legitimate goal.

If our goal was a super dodgey penalty/lucky deflection etc you can say we didn't deserve it. Along with say if we were disallowed an offside goal that was clearly onside we deserved to win.

As far as im aware none of these events happened.

Spurs were clearly the better team, but Foster was the best man on the pitch, every chance he saved and conceding just one goal was earned by him.
