Don't know what I watched today but it was 90 minutes I won't get back. The players should be disgusted. They look like they don't know each other it was like a park team. How people rave about Ali I don't know he gives the ball away that much and throws his hands in the air like a kid and has no pace whatsoever. We have been a poor side now for so long. Really needs a clear out at the club
SAMMY! Welcome back. Match threads weren't the same without you.
Having said that, Norwich go 1-0 up.. 
No idea, but they play better football than us.
Your unflagging support has lifted my spirits
Did we win one second ball today? I honestly can’t remember any
He was clearly our best player in a shitshow
If the odds are long on 'boro, shamefully it's worth a pop.

I say again. Yellows are not handed out for numbers of fouls but for their severity e.g. shirt pulling when the player is past you.
It's simple why we didn't get those penalties, it's because they weren't penalties. Even Dele conceded to the goalkeeper that it wasn't.
I understand your wish (as mine) for our team to win, however you need to keep a sense of rationality.
It wasn't the officials, the ground, the weather, Jenas or the shape of the ball that caused us to lose, but us - our ineptitude, players to select from, off-form players chosen, inability to pass to someone in a blue shirt, tactics, our desire to win 50/50 ball and the second ball, dead ball kicks, corners, awful transfers etc etc.
It's clear as day. What the answer is - well I'm not paid £10m a year to answer that.
I'd be surprised if they didn't. But we'll have to disagree on this one. An adequate player in a great squad can be made to look much better - that's why 'amazing' league players get found out at international level all the time (I'm thinking the England defensive line in particular here!), or if they move to a better team that's struggling in that particular position (I'm looking at you, Harry Maguire!) because their individual weaknesses get found out.
There's little guarantee that a player who's good / bad for one team will be equally good / bad for another. Sadly for us it's the sum of the parts.
Guido is a Chelsea fan on here stirring up anti-José feeling.
A fan is, when things are not going well you get behind and support the team - yes have a moan, but don't get carried away. Joséis here and has already done better than Poch so FA got even worse reffing to stop Tottenham.
Chelsea & Woolwich do not get this level of refereeing against them. Tammy Ambraham dives and gets free kicks. Guendouzi dives at the drop of a hat and gets loads of free kicks (and a couple of pens this season). If real Tottenham fans don't see this then they cannot be real Spurs fans. And to want José out for WHAT??? He wants maybe Sean Dyke? What does Guido want instead of José Mourinho (btw Mourinho hasn't even had a full season).

Agree but at least Coco had a bit of passion when he came on
Most of them should be ashamed of themselves
Our great fans deserve so much better
Between today and Brighton away.
Sammyspurs nailed it to some extent but was talking of the Mourinho magic as was I when he arrived.
Everything needs to change and if Mourinho is to succeed he needs to say it publicly.
He needs to say the players have been allowed to believe coming second best was good enough. That some players have lost their edge and tjat some of our players are inherently flawed.
He can talk all day long that he wanted then when he was the manager of other clubs but they would have joined clubs with winners alongside them who would have forced them to adapt for the better.
There is no such model.
Today is a fcuking low point.

I think Jose will go 'full-on' for the FA cup - expect to (hope to?)- see a very strong side out with maybe Dele rested and Son reinstated.If the odds are long on 'bore, shamefully it's worth a pop.
You surely can't believe Levy doesn't know......my dog knows. He's just a cheap tight fisted c*** who doesn't give a shit. IMO, he is the sole reason we find ourselves in this state.
