A sad state of affairs that when I woke up this morning, all I felt was resignation and a little relief that it was only 1-0. This is against one of our bitter rivals, only second to that lot down the road.
What a terrible indictment of our current situation. Bottom line, it's yet another loss and we're still in the bottom half of the table.
I just have to accept nothing is going to change until we're out of EL / end of season.

Even though it only took 3 minutes (not the hyberbolic 6 Ange said), and apparently was decided was a foul after less than 30 seconds, so was clear and obvious. What took the time was 2 and a half minutes was deciding whether Sarr should receive yellow or Red card

Thank goodness he didn’t get a red. At Stamford Bridge, I’m surprised we survived with 11 men on the field.
 
I switched off when VAR took an age on their second goal and didn't bother turning it back on when the notification hit my phone that it was ruled out. So I went to check the VAR on Sarr's goal. Despite how shit that performance was, that VAR was very soft. I doubt that would have been ruled out if it was against us.

Gillet on VAR AGAIN. Why do they always send him to VAR for our games? A club that cared about winning would make enough fuss and pressure to prevent the PGMOL from giving him our games on VAR.
 
I've only watched the 3 minute Sky highlight package of this. Ange is done, I'll watch the Europa games and hope for the best, but this manager's time is up. We already knew that I guess, but it feels more dead than ever right now.

In that case, **I stand corrected...

Thanks for putting that one to bed once and for all.
I actually didn't realise the full reason for the delay, as I was watching it somewhere that had the sound down... That's on me as well, shoulda watched it somewhere that actually SHOWS the football - sound an'all - rather than treat it like a minor inconvenience... Then again, that's how we've been approaching every PL game since November!!!


**Unlike our great and glorious Leader of men, who won't hear a word against us without biting the head off the person who questions/corrects him!!

I can't think of any Spurs manager that has kept his job with a record remotely like this.

Yet some will tell you a half decent gaffer would've that squad in the top 6 and winning the EL.

Also that all we need this summer, aside from a new manager, is 2 or 3 good players and we'll be cooking.
 
I get that it's a culmination of events but why are people acting like they thought we would go to Chelsea and get a result?

When we are good we get nothing there and right now we are possibly the worst Spurs side I have ever seen.

I’ll try a response:

It’s because us fans know our team and players should be better than they currently are performing.

It won’t change with Levy at the club.

Any investor he sells to will be because they have similar priorities to him around being “sustainable “ and he’ll make a deal to stay in control.

Spurs aren’t cursed. Levy is our curse.

Nobody will become a minority investor with Levy there. There is a reason they have money

Nobody buying the whole club will keep him there. They buy to do what they want and because they think things could be done better

mate? what?

it was a clear foul. The VAR took long (wasn't even long tbh as the ref watched the screen for 1 minute 26 seconds) because they were deciding what colour card to give Sarr.

Mid table set of players sitting low mid table due to injury issues.

Manager is getting less than what's possible from the group, but they ain't all that.

It's games like Leicester and Ipswich at home that I think enough is enough, not Chelsea away.

My view on this is that Postecoglou is getting as close to the least you can from the sum of the parts of this squad.

It was a derby, fans get more angry at derby defeats.
