If dippers lose at palace and we win it'll be as you were, so things could still work out well for us!We'll find out at the weekend how fresh they really are. Palace should give them a game.
We've had a pretty intense run of late, played Thursdays, and we've still got Leicester and Wolves. A loss at Anfield against the champions - who played some excellent, intense football - was disappointing, given two clear cut chances in the 2nd half, but it's just a blip in the race. I'm still far more gutted that we were robbed of 3 vital points against Newcastle. That was a proper theft.
I really believe we can rip through Leicester and take Wolves now. We defended with real tenacity yesterday. Aurier looked like a man possessed against Mane. Keep that up this season and we'll secure top 4 and battle for the title.
Or squared it to Lucas for a tap in?

Liverpool faces a marginally tougher road ahead with 4 away and 2 home - could you see Liverpool lose 1 or 2 of these matches? How many will Tottenham draw (or worse, lose)?
I won't !Maybe I’ll feel better in the morning ....
Harsh !I hope that useless cunt never wears our shirt again
I get your point. I think it's more a build up of the last 10 or so years as we have started to challenge and we've been let down in big moments.
Chelsea FA Cup Semi
Battle of the bridge
Juventus CL at home
Champions league final etc
In all those games I personally came away thinking how did we lose this given the chances. Its just all too familiar and it hurts.
At the end of the day, we're only in the title race if Liverpool let us. We're averaging 1.92 points per game which is miles off champions material, we've just gotten a bit ahead of ourselves in recent weeks being top of the table.
Having said that, this could be a weird year and Liverpool might continue to drop points so you never know.
If we had drawn Liverpool and City we'd all feel better but have less points. Not even Christmas yet.
It’s still in our hands so to speak , they still need to come to the lane !At the end of the day, we're only in the title race if Liverpool let us.

I assume you're joking?
Have you ever taken a walk around our stadium? Ever seen the words "TO DARE IS TO DO"? How about "THE GAME IS ABOUT GLORY"? You've surely seen "GLORY GLORY TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR"?
It's ok to be angry after an unfair result, but don't spout nonsense mate. Sleep it off and like you say, you'll see it clearer tomorrow.
Was right in the balls line as it looped in, in fact probably would have hit me if the goal wasn’t thereThat goal reminded me of the goal Leicester scored at WHL when they won the league. Sickening !
Big Sam is also next up to Anfield isn’t he?they wont beat palace
wtf does that have to do with anything?We lost.....I’m still Spurs, I’m still proud, I’m not embarrassed of my club and never will be
