Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Top 4 is now completely in our hands. West Ham play Chelsea, so one of them will drop points.
Its also possible that Leicester will drop points to West Ham, City, Chelsea, United and of course...Spurs.
All we have to do is beat this lot. We don't have much fixture congestion; with a decent rest between games.
Newcastle
United (between Europa games - our advantage)
Everton
Sheffield
Leeds
Wolves
Villa
Leicester
that all they have to do, have you watched us this season
I don't really see that great performance. We weren't sinking as low as we used to. That's positive, there was good effort today. And we played pretty good in about 15 minutes around the 2-0 goal.
But in the first half and part of your second it looked like the players met for the first time, couldn't string 3 passes in a row together. Like it has all the time under Mourinho.
About 4th, were 3 points behind Chelsea, but they haven't lost in 18 games, so it's probably Leicester we have to pass, and that's 8 points. Also Liverpool is in the race. They are gash now but who knows.
There is hope to take from this game, but as the wise mister Wolf said. Let's not start sucking each others dicks, just yet.

as others have said we had Kane & Lucas they had no-one,
hopefully Toby is part of "Jose in" players we need him, not sure who would be better playing with him, Dier has been poor for a long time, Sanchez is a loose cannon (why does he have to push players all the time, can't he just defend) Rodon is very green not sure how powerful he is

Think he was overshadowed by TN for most of the game. TN had a good game controlling things at the back and picking the back up from CBS.
3 points is 3 points, makes for a happier Monday!
But a better team would have destroyed us
Fuck off Jose
Up the Spurs

Jose must have thought so unless it’s a reluctance to trust youth
He is a real all round bell end that seems to forget Spurs paid his wages for 3 years the entitled arsehole
Both dirty goons
Chelsea have 5 potential banana skins in their last 6 to be honest so you never know
Gio watching the pen sitting on the sidelines 
Have to be given a run now surely but you just feel they will be dropped with the first sign of a mistake despite the constant mistakes of the more experienced defenders
think PEH was "overshadowed" because there was both TN & GLC picking the ball up/moving around the back, maybe a good idea as PEH can focus on doing DM duties
Think we have Southampton as well due to the cup final. All winnable though.
The problem for Lineker is that it WAS a penalty. I've watched it again on YouTube, slowed right down. Harry tries to back heel the ball (fails) and immediately Cash slides right into his standing leg, from behind, up-ending him. Watch it from 1:48 on 25% speed, if you don't believe me.
All Harry is guilty of is jumping to minimise the impact (understandable, given his ankle problems) and over-playing the pain - but they all do that these days.
I hate to say this, but Mike Dean and VAR got it right.
Edit: ...If Sanchez had done the same to one of their players we could have had no complaints about a penalty.

Despite bizarrely looking like a 1950s bank clerk I thought the drug-addled old soak spoke well last night.
A damn sight better than Jamie Redknapp at least, although I accept that isn't a very high bar.
We really need to capitalise on this now. I hated us going out of Europa, but if we can win the league cup and get a top 4 finish, then it's a great season overall.
We are relying on other results, but with no midweek games, and a good break between each game, we should see the benefits of that.
