I've missed all the in-fighting but I have to say you're making a shitload of excuses there, one way or another. Imagine if that were a scouser putting forward those same arguments last week, we'd have been howling in mirth at his delusion.
Across the board people were bigging us up for this, we should be seen as favourites, would win by 2 or 3 goals and on and on. Obviously, United having lost at Huddersfield and us having beaten Liverpool meant that the balance of football had shifted irrevocably in our favour.
Basically what I mean is I hate predictions and I hate assuming that we are suddenly the best or second best team in England because of a couple of hiccups in our rivals. People were universally assuming that Arsen*l and Chelsea were an utterly spent force based on a couple of poor results but there they are, a point behind us.
That’s what fans do Bill. It’s not meant to be rational. This is a Spurs forum. What do you expect? Everyone predicting a heavy defeat? Go to the Bet 365 forum if you want hardnosed, unbiased comment.
Don’t suck the life out of everything.

I think the key sentiment there was "its not a disaster".I agree about predictions though.
I expect people to have a sense of balance, weird I know.
Your sarcasm is unbecoming. People are biased, and after Huddersfield put Utd away, what do you expect? I hate this wise after the event stuff.
Yeah, but you were also a chap who allied himself with the transfer melts who reckoned we couldn't scrape top four without mega signings in the first few weeks of the transfer window. So what do you define as balance?
I wasn't saying it was a disaster, I don't think it was, a disaster would be my house falling down. Shit happens, Spurs lose, especially away to United. We'll lose a few more games before the season ends too, hey ho.
I agree about predictions though.
I didn't concentrate too much on the last 35 minutes, I had people coming over and was doing stuff, then they arrived. We seemed a bit better than them in the first half, they seemed quite a bit better than us in what I saw of the second. Would a boxing score of 58-42 in their favour be about right? It was from what I saw but my United friend reckons a draw would have been fairer. Whatever, football has never been fair.
Except I didn't say a word of that Smokey, or ally myself with anybody.
Hey, we have the same birthday, can we bond?
I'm not keen on this wise before the event stuff either.
You barely watched the game and now you come on here to comment on it?
It’s not wisdom, it’s just a bit of fun. Do want to read a forum where everyone is saying we’re shit and we’re going to lose? Actually, don’t answer that.
We lost a point but find ourselves 3 points behind Utd who were level on points when we KO?
No I watched 65 minutes normally like you. I three-quarters watched the last 15 and half-watched the last 10.
Which is why I'm not commenting so much on the game, more on people's excitable pre-match opinions

Normally like me? I watched it all. Maybe you should temper people’s enthusiasm with some wise words of caution in future? I, for one, would look forward to it, rather than you glancing at the TV whist preparing cocktails, and then shitting on people for being bullish. You’ve forgotten what it’s like to be a fan Bill - you know - getting a bit giddy and all that.
Didn't think you'd suggested as much, just thought you"d missed the tone of the guy's post a bit...
I didnt even see the game, so maybe I'm a bit less emotional about it all than usual, but regardless of how well we're doing, losing to a Maureen team 1-0 away ought not be a flabergasting occurence and, for many of the reasons the prev. chap listed, i dont fear for the rest of our season because of it.
I do, absolutely. It’s over mate.
That has to be contender for the most patronising post on the internet.
Well done.
I should know I've posted a few myself.....
