we left ourselves way too much to do. even if we had won today.Title was lost a month ago at West Ham and Woolwich then Liverpool. This is academic.
Youngest team in the Prem with some of the hottest property in Europe , most impressive to watch . Incredible togetherness/ Harmony among the players , staff & fans , Young superb manager, new stadium on its way & possibly Champions League football....
Yup there's plenty to laugh at about Spurs ..
Very proud of them all
Hmm, when did Norwich become title contenders? Last time I checked they were in relegation zone.Their Mum / sister / auntie
yeah I went there
Love the passion and tend to agree (the morning after the night before). But we must not lose focus and march on. We must not fall short in the last three games because this form will carry over for next season, its not just about now?The problem for me is that this is just typical Spurs, not new Tottenham, but Typical "let's allow the world to laugh at us again" Tottenham. It's West Brom @ home and we come up short in the one of the biggest games we have had, there is simply no comfort.
Then realise that we are not guaranteed Champions league, we are not safe from the scum and we have Chelsea next without Dier & likely Ali.....all of a sudden a clogger like Craig fucking Dawson has spun everything on its head. I am less fucked off about the league than I am looking down and realising that "holy shit" this could still go badly badly wrong, when it should have been over ! Got to get 4 points from 9, but anyone see an issue with winning at Chelsea or away to a revitalized and desperate Newcastle, or which team would love to stick it to Poch most ? Oh ok play them at Home !
As for why we came up short. Well to be fair, 1 striker is likely to be the short answer, so many draws suggests a lack of cutting edge, despite stats.

we never really got that close to Leicester or put any real pressure on them.
2nd will be amazing. it will be still tough to get. Chelsea away will be tough & saints are much better than WBA.
but I am confident of us sealing the runners up spot.
Just need to regroup & not get too down about it all.
In our heads we are all making out we were a lot closer to winning the title.
its a strange one. we will probably almost always finish ahead of Leicester for the rest of our lives.
but they will have experienced winning a title. whereas we most likely won't ever know what its like.
common sense tells you its much better to be in our position rather than a 1 season wonder.
Beat team & season in my lifetime so far.
We have a very likable group with a bright future.
This doesn't help? Im sorry if I'm stating the obvious at you?There are some dreadful 'fans' on here.
Agree-However, when it was feasible to win the PL-we had hope and that felt good being part of it. Now that hope has gone and reality has landed-we seem to scraping for a CL place even though we are second and five points ahead? Strange how the mood can change and the concept of our position.we left ourselves way too much to do. even if we had won today.

true. that's football for you. it will be tough mentally on the players.Agree-However, when it was feasible to win the PL-we had hope and that felt good being part of it.

thanks. I wont have to brick your windows now. kidding of course.Couldn't agree more.
I've had my run ins with you, and felt you've been too negative. So big thumps up for this very good post on a night with a terrible result. Credit where it's due and all that. Especially with all the talk, which I'm as guilty of as anyone, of negative posters only coming around to moan when things go south, it's good to see you prove it wrong.
Liverpool or City winning = automatic spot in group stages. 4th goes into Europa league group. 3rd gets play off position and 1/2 group stages.true. that's football for you. it will be tough mentally on the players.
rather than looking up & fighting for the title, you are suddenly looking behind you & trying to just consolidate
where you are.
it will be a good learning experience for them all.
shouldn't look too far ahead, but with 3 games to go,
1 win seals top 4.
1 win & a draw seals 3rd & a finish above Woolwich. only city can then stop us from 2nd if they make up some goal difference.
can someone clear something up. what is the ruling with if Liverpool or man city win the European cups they are in. & if they both win it?
I have heard people say it means different things.
I am probably being greedy, but it be really nice if Woolwich get 4th & miss out because of this ruling.
that is true. but if kane had got injured then I think we would have been in trouble.We've got a bigger chance of winning the title than we have of missing out of CL at this stage. We'd basically have to lose our last three matches for it to go that wrong. We've lost 4 in 35 this season, and you're freaking out over the prospect of losing three on the trot after a draw. Get a fucking grip
And will people let the 1 striker thing go already. Poch has proven on several counts that he has a higher football IQ than everyone on here combined. He got Toby, Dier, Dembele, Lamela, Alli and squad spirit right this season, but his judgement on whether to - desperately - sign a striker was wrong ochserious2:
