Well, if we couldn't put this match to bed under the circumstances, we don't deserve to beat Leicester to the title.
As mentioned by other people though, we can still be incredibly proud of Spurs this season.
Very nervous about Chelsea next week considering Alli possibly being banned and Dier perhaps being injured. Even if we'd won this, we might well have been heartbroken next week...
As long as we don't fuck up the last three games in any terrible way, we should wrap up the end of a great season, have a secured champions league place, a happy team, and only the prospect of an even better time next year.Just hope we keep the players now.

There's always the chance that someone can come along and offer us stupid money, but I don't think that we are at any great risk of losing our key players. For the first time in a long time, I think that we have a squad that wants to be here.
Difficult one. Mason and Chadli I reckon.Who would you guys start vs Chelski if both Dier and Alli are out?
I think the Mason sub was totally pointless to be totally honest. Yes Dier was injured but what exactly does Mason do? he literally just strolls around and picks easy passes. Should have moved Eriksen centrally with Mousa and put on Son for Dier. Taking Alli off for Chadli was a really odd sub as well.

I don't think we really have anyone else to fill Dier's role by Mason....unless Trippier is able to play there.
To be fair, I've seen very little melting over this result so far.2nd in the league was NEVER on anyones radar at the start of the season... let alone the League title itself!
...maybe 4th, and at a real push 3rd were the height of people's expectations, but that would've take TWO of the SkyTop4 to fuck up, and they never do that!
Leicester's amazing run is the only 'Spursy' thing about this season... the rest is pure fantasy and daydream land for most of us!
At the start of the season (and even towards Christmas, though I admit, my nostrils were beginning to flare at the scent of something bigger) but I fully expected us - with 3 games to go - to be in and around 4th/5th/6th place, but with a GENUINE shot at 4th...
as it is, we're not only 'in and around' 2nd, we're still 5 points clear, with the 4th/5th teams yet to play each other...
2nd is ours to lose... same as the title was always Leicester's to lose... and they don't look like their going to... so why should we?
Collective chins up people... tonight may have been a cunty cunt fucking reminder of Spurs pre-Poch... but everyone is allowed a delve into their past from time to time...
We just need to toughen up mentally... and not let the anti-football Brigade ruin what we have masterminded this season!
Yes, the title may well be a shade further away than it was a coupla hours ago... but 2nd isn't. THAT in itself would represent a MAGNIFICENT SEASON!
WHICH IT ALREADY HAS BEEN... lest we forget!
