chelsea didnt start strong. they had a fantastic run midseason. at one point after 4 or 5 games Conte's job was rumoured to be on the line.

Some perspective....
Last year, after three games the top seven was as follows:
1. Man City - 9 points
2. Chelsea - 9
3. Man Utd - 9
4. Everton - 7
5. Hull - 6
6. Middlesbrough - 5
7. Tottenham - 5
So we're in the same league place, and only one point worse off. We got this...

Premier League Table: 2016 EPL Week 3 Standings and Sunday Results
I don't remember making mistakes last season.
I know , the empty seats didn't look good and there were lots of families with kids.
I was expecting this as so many people were selling their tickets on twitter.
So why do you want so many new players
Coming from the guy who massively melts, moans & cries any time people have a criticism of the club.
You melted yourself in to the bin. Hardly one to take anti-melting tips from.
It's been a while since I could say a spurs result was truly, totally unacceptable but yesterday it really was.
Not because of the quality of opposition on paper, because any premier league side can have its day. But the fact that we were in complete control all game, had numerous chances and then, with a few minutes to go, have the ability to see it out and didn't. I love that we are a positive attacking side. But sometimes you just have to accept a 1-0 score line and take the 3 points. I feel like some of them have believed the hype a bit from last season and believe they should be smashing all the smaller teams every time. Extremely naive.

For obvious reasons:
1. We sold Walker first choice RB. Replacement.
2. Sissoko and Janssen are not good enough.
3. We don't know the future of Rose.
4. STRENGTHENING THE TEAM.
PS. If Janssen is in Poch plans. How many mins did he play in the 3 PL matches?
Now downgraded to DEF CON 2.
Hope you feel better, mate, but imagine if you had stayed through added time...
Well put. The new cliche is 'Game Management,' but it's a cliche for a reason. We are still not seeing games out the way other teams do and this will damage us.
Those 5 points dropped now have to be made up away from home, and you know how difficult that will be.
You just said we didnt make any mistakes last season which I find a bit odd. I remember plenty, but we developed a never say die attitude, played full on for the 90 plus minute, and had WHL.
Id like to add some players to cover the outs, but sitting there slagging off Janssen and Sissoko when its the first choices playing like a bunch of cunts is really odd
It is bank holiday weekend.
Think how many blokes got roped into going to the beach by their kids.
Why is it all so frustrating - its because its out of our hands. We have to trust the players that hey care.

Nothing odd. The first choice did a job to a certin extent and we were winning 1-0.
Don't blame me for slagging off Janssen or Sissoko. Sissoko came on to play on the right where we conceded the gaol but he drifts to the middle. And for Janssen, ask Poch why he hasn't played him any mins in the 3 PLgames when we needed goals and Kane misfiring (August Phenomenon).
3 days and windows closes. With regrets to say manu, mancity, chels and liv have better squads and more geared for top 4 and CL.
No. I have seen tweets people selling their tickets and willing to meet on match day.
That's how i saw it.You always have to get a 2nd against a team like Burnley.They don't give up.
It was a draw, not a loss...But it felt like one.
I adore Eriksen but IMO that was the worst game he has ever had in a spurs shirt, I would have taken him off a lot earlier.
Although dominating the first half I didn't feel it was a great half. Early goal in the second half and we looked comfortable. Burnley changed things with a couple of changes and had a good ten minutes but we weathered that and looked certain to score again but the second goal never arrived and we blew it in added time.
