Match Tottenham Hotspur v. Manchester United - F.A. Cup Semi-Final

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Well you’re fairweather as fuck then.
Today you feel the need to show what a good boy you are and how calm you are by slagging off fans who are upset and telling them to support Woolwich.

The players aren’t gods, man the fuck up and direct some anger at those fucking responsible for once.

“Ahhh we go again” makes me want to slap someone ...yeah I’m well up for Watford or whoever the fuck it is next, blinding. Right now is the time to feel pain, if you don’t feel anything but pride, like I said you are dead inside.

I hope the squad don’t feel proud.
Absolutely brilliant post.
Love the bit about the we go again attitude. The kind of attitude thats held this club back for years. From the man at the top to the fan at the bottom
We should be hurt, angry and fucking embarressed by todays showing.
 
Yeah no drama - but your quote was of this sausagevince sad case who’s desperately trying to troll about Spurs being losers ‘the part we play’.

Aside from the trolling being pathetically transparent, I’m a person who likes to compete and loves to win, so I find the whiny revelling in failure and weakness annoying

(Edited typo)
I'm as gutted as anyone mate. I just always wonder what it must be like going to Wembley expecting to win.
 
I hope Poch learns from this. He is one of the great minds in world football today but he has been outcoached by the likes of seasoned vets like Mourinho, Allegri, Pep etc... on a regular basis. He is so close to reaching that elite level status and the same can be said for our club. We are not that far off. Let’s win our remaining 4 games, keep our core players, sign reinforcements and with the new stadium next season, there is no reason we can’t contend for league.
 
We lost a fucking game of football.
We weren’t good enough
Simple as.

We haven’t been good enough since Chelsea.
Maybe as Kane is not at his best and is being used, maybe for his record or personal reasons.

Yet he was going off the boil before he got injured.
We scored 4 goals in the 3 games before the injury He scored 1. When he went off injured at Bournemouth we scored 4 goals.
Socred 10 in the 3 games he was out.
When Kane is on form the team thrive.
When he isn’t we struggle for goals
When he's injured we seem to cope.

I think he occupies space others can exploit and score when he’s not on form.
Personally I think he should have been kept on the bench and we start with 4 of Eriksen, Son, Lamela, Dele and Lucas.
More fluid and interchangeable. More to handle.

Kane can come on when needed and play 20 mins when defenders are mentally and physically tired. Until he’s ready and on game,
He’s probably been giving 30 mins of good form in the games he’s started anyway.
Then again what do I know.

I’m just wondering why we have gone to shit and conceded 7 goals and scored 5 in the 4 games since the game after Chelsea when we scored 32 and conceded just 4 more, 11, in 13 games before Stoke,
Kane on form we thrive
When he isn’t we struggle
If injured we cope!
There you have it we rely on him too much when he’s playing....but when he isn’t there we adjust! We should learn to cope more often with or without him in the team and I don’t mean him leaving just that in a situation like tonight we needed a plan B, Harry is plan A and we don’t seem capable of adjusting because if he’s on the pitch unless he’s injured he ain’t coming off!
 
I still believe in the way this club is being built...

It takes years for a football project to be built and can take days for it to be torn down. Once one major player leaves dissent spreads like wild fire - look at the Walker/Rose/Toby situation, all of which I feel are linked.

Remember Poch telling us that "This is Tottenhams time" and bigging us up before the season started? "The entire project has been built to depend on this season". Well, if the entire aim of the project was doing something special this year then it has utterly failed.

We'll see what happens this summer, but don't put too much faith in plans and projects. "Plans are useless but planning is indispensable".
 
Kane/Dele/Eriksen aren't going anywhere. They seem to have bought into what we're building here.
Toby, well that might be another story. And that would be a huge loss, granted.

Hmmnm..I think all 3 will need pay rises and to see even better quality alongside them.

Lets be clear we were as good as United today. At our best our play was better but they were disciplined, especially when they went ahead.

But within and outside of that are the fine margins.

United might win the FA Cup but they will not be ahead of us by much unless they spend huge amounts.

But on days like today when it is all or nothing we always play the managers and teams that just knlw how to get it done.

It's coming but part of it is the luck od the draw

Natures biggest teacher is pain. It always has been and always will be.

If we want the players to learn then this should hurt. It should sting. It should be agony. It should be haunting.

Yet none of them seemed to even care. You can't learn with apathy.

Pochettino's interview after today, “United defended very well and so deep. We are disappointed because we are so close. We need to think, move on, finish the season and try to finish in the top four."

No, you don't need to "move on". You "move on" too fucking much. Focus on the pain for once.
 
As long as we get top 4 its still been a good season. At least we didn't get our hopes higher by getting to the final only to lose to chelsea.
Don't want to start arguments but I think we could help poch out with 1 or 2 real quality signings in the summer especially as we will probably lose toby & maybe rose. Which will give us a better chance of winning a cup.

What sort of dozy bastard are you FFS? we will never win anything under the cunt that is Pochettino!
 
It was a toss up between Son or Kane. Both weren't at their best today. Kane is way below his best right now. Has been since he came back from injury.
Kane plays too many games for us anyway.
We need to abandon this small time thinking that says we cant sign any decent striker happy to sit on the bench like Llorente. We need a fucking striker who aint happy to sit on the fucking bench and has the qualities to challenge Kane for his place in the team.
As other Big clubs would
