So many melts on here. One bad performance and we're gonna fuck it up.
Top 4 is in our hands, we have an 8 point gap (at the moment) over Chelsea.
Tottenham Chelsea
Watford (H) Burnley (A)
West Brom (A) Swansea (A)
Newcastle (H) Liverpool (H)
Leicester (H) Huddersfield (H)

They have much tougher games than us, and they have to rely on us dropping points. We have more than enough to finish 4th and win the cup.
Players have returned from injury, we have more talent all over the pitch and we have one of the best managers in Europe. Let's enjoy it.
My point is none of us are really melting, as you say.What's your point?
I’m not. 6 changes with a FA cup semi-final on the horizon? Pretty understandable performance really.My point is none of us are really melting, as you say.
We'r just all pissed/worried/concerned with tonights performance, including you.
When you correlate tonight's performance with some sort of season long regression, you are melting.My point is none of us are really melting, as you say.

Its strange how pissed off & offended people get if people worry about us failing. People can't help how they feel. I think a lot of it is to say I'm a better fan & for agrees/likes on here. But equally they have a right to melt over melter's & be drama queens about it if that's how they feel.Yes its in our hands. Whilst the spursy spurs of old haven't surfaced since at the end of 2015/2016 but we could see our 10 point gap halved tomorrow. Whilst Burnley are no pushovers. Chelsea may sense the opportunity to close the gap. 5 points isnt much. Everyone is right to be bricking it right now.
Look who's back. After a loss and draw no less. Curious.Its strange how pissed off & offended people get if people worry about us failing. People can't help how they feel.

I thought it was poor. It was poor. But maybe 1 point is better than fuck all and takes us a small step closer to CL foootball at the end of the day....After my post match explosion its just dawned on me that we didnt actually lose.I’m not. 6 changes with a FA cup semi-final on the horizon? Pretty understandable performance really.
A lot of teams work with mental coaches on that part. Basically every national team have one and most of the top clubs.
Spurs have a massive problem in both full wing back positions. Rose may never reach his best again, we sold Walker. It's a massive weakness highlighted Saturday night and tonight. Sissoko and Wanyama are pretty average clumsy backward players. Dembele is brilliant but wants out. As for Lloris, I would not rank him in the top 5 premiership keepers. We have problems.
Yes it is.Just a quick one...
Is 4th an automatic qualification for champs league group stage or do we have to play a 2 legged qualifier?
.
We are still well set to get 4th. I think we will but obviously until we do we can't relax. I think we can forget 2nd & even 3rd will be a big ask. But we should have enough for 4th.I thought it was poor. It was poor. But maybe 1 point is better than fuck all and takes us a small step closer to CL foootball at the end of the day....After my post match explosion its just dawned on me that we didnt actually lose.
In the league yes. But a step forward in europe.
Bullshit. Fuck off. Not having that. What the fuck do you understand about the PL era at our club? Poch has absolutely revolutionised the whole mentality of Tottenham Hotspur. What the fuck have the past two seasons and our year away at Wembley taught you? Fuck all it seems you stupid cunt. Fuck off and pick another team.Indeed, but managers instill winning mentalities - Pochettino is yet to showcase the capacity to do so.
1 point is definitely better than fuck all, but there were mitigating circumstances for tonight’s performance. Saturday’s game is more important. You’d like to see us win a trophy wouldn’t you? Football history is littered with half-arsed performances before big games. Nothing to be too worried about.I thought it was poor. It was poor. But maybe 1 point is better than fuck all and takes us a small step closer to CL foootball at the end of the day....After my post match explosion its just dawned on me thst we didnt actually lose.
