If we win the league by 6 points, we'll look back and wonder how it's not 10 points!

Or blowing it vs Chelsea at ‘battle of the bridge’...or not turning up for CL final.
Just a bad game.
It’s nearly there.... lots to enjoy and get excited about. But
It’s moments....
Sissoko didn’t impact Balbeuna. Poor.
Sanchez shouldn’t be scoring in his own net from there. Poor.
Serge, get your body in front. Poor.
Winks, boot it. Poor.
4 defensive poor moments.
If one of those players does better, 3 points.
HAVE. TO. LEARN. FROM. THIS. (Again...)

The issue with the Chelsea game was the notion that this was a battle when it was just utter amateurish behaviour from us. The 3-3 draw in the FA cup under Jol there was a bigger disappointment given that we were 0-3 up at half time.
:fingers:
Crazy is no exaggeration, just look at the teams at the. top,it always starts like this every season. Worry not, it won't last, the cream will rise to the top
Throwing away a 0-2 lead to the Chavs there really hurt as it meant the Chavs clinched the League for Leicester. Even if we’d held onto win there though, we were still 5 points behind Leicester with 2 games to go. Our league winning chances that season died in the previous game when we conceded a late equaliser at home to West Brom. I consoled myself that night that we only needed 3 points from our last 3 games to cancel St Totteringham Day for the first time in 21 years. Then we go and lose at home to Southampton and lose last day 5-1 at relegated Newcastle to clinch 3rd in a 2 horse race.
The thing is we could all have picked these individual players out as the ones most likely to make mistakes.
It's really risky having this many players all on at the same time because the probability of them having a brain fart is really high.
Certainly Sanchez should be playing RCB. If he ever plays the right side of the only side he should play. He is bad enough on the ball as it is, putting him in an area where he has to use his weak foot is a no no.
Aurier played well against united. But again prone to a brain fart. Same as Kyle walker.
Sissoko I believe should have come off rather than Tanguy. Absolutely no way should we ever have all 3 of Winks, Sissoko and PEH on at the same time. There's no one in midfield that can keep the ball under pressure.
We should make a new rule for the rest of this season. Let's call it the West Ham rule.
It's a simple rule, its no matter how good we think we are or how well we are playing we don't get cocky and we take each game as it comes and respect the opposition. Maybe if the fan base does it will rub off on the players.
So, If we have one or two decent results and everyone in the media is blowing smoke up our arse - remind people of the West Ham rule.
If Son and Kane have scored 340304403 gazillion goals in their last 3 games and we are playing the leakiest defence in the league - remind everyone on here of the West Ham rule.
If we've kept 10 clean sheets in a row and are playing a team with a one legged striker - remind everyone of the West Ham rule.
Keep it real and grounded and maybe the football gods will lift the curse from this fucking club because I'm at my wits end.

We are Tottenham, we never learn, it’s in our blood
The easy way. Or the Spurs way.
Jose saw this in his first game vs Hammers. And now he’s still seeing it!
And if he reverts to the pragmatic clean sheet is king Jose who can blame him ?
Free flowing 1-1 and 3-3 home draws against shit is not how he got his winner reputation.
First chance to try against Burnley, bottom of table with 0pts - classic ‘Dr Tottenham’ territory...
Why is Serge getting involved? Step back.
I think on balance I actually prefer it when we are shit, I found peace after the Everton game, I'd come to terms with the fact this season was going to be the same old pony as last year, then we get a few decent results and have a great transfer window, I couldn't sleep last night through nerves and as soon as the first West Ham goal went in I knew it was going to be a draw. It was unshakable inevitable feeling that I can only get with Spurs. Just knew it deep in the bones.
At least if we were shit there would be no hope.
My father said to me nearly 40 years ago, never ever take Spurs too seriously. There’ll be plenty of days when they will give you pleasure, there’ll be plenty of false hope but ultimately they will always always let you down.
It's the hope that kills you.
Man Utd 5 Spurs 3, we were 3 up at half time and cruising.
