You don't get a contract at a scum 6 club without being a bit of a word removed.

What if Jack were to end up at one sometime in the future ?

Notice how we only actually managed to win a few games now Jack is back in the team. It’s like the promotion season all over again.

Bitter Tuchel moaning about the ref. Take the defeat graciously you miserable German arsehat.

He will be there for about 2 seasons, win a few trophies, fall out and get sacked, and go to another ESL job.

Delighted the Holte got to see one get smacked in the net in front of them. El-Ghazi being so calm on penalties really racked up some points and there was a really good spread of goals and assists across the whole front four in general

Targett was the 2nd best player in enough games to be in with a shout for player of the season overall IMO, though today was a very tough one

Shame Leicester bottled it again, but not sure how I would have felt about a situation where City winning the Champions League was somehow the banter outcome

Emi Martinez is my player of the season and I’ll fight anyone who doesn’t agree.

Two tickets to Portugal please.

Have we decided some players are not good enough too soon ? Hause has always performed when selected and both he and Nakamba today were outstanding perhaps if given time and support we could save some cash on replacements and spend it elsewhere in the squad ?

As a fan you are always greedy and you do wonder how West Spam have ended up 10 points and 5 places above us, and we are 10 points and 1 place above Brucey's Newcastle.

Everton have tanked again 5-0 on your last game does not bode well for them. I think we are in a good shout next season to firmly establish ourselves as a top 10 team. I can't see West Ham or Leeds having as good as a season as this year, and nobody below us scares me now that Nuno is leaving Wolves.

Europa League qualification has to be the minimum next season especially if we spend another absolute fortune in the close season.

You could post this on a Spurs forum or two, you know?

They both scored which will put a positive light on their performance but el ghazi and traore came very close to killing us today, funny how that works 

Tracking back was awful, the shape was always going to make it hard but until we scored Chelsea had so much joy from the wing backs that they should have scored in all honesty, a mixture of the back 4 being comfortable with crosses and Timo Werner kept us in it 

They were really poor 

Not a comment on the tracking back as such but the plan was clearly to keep it very central and let them ping in crosses all day knowing we had three big centre backs in the back four and a keeper who is comfortable with crosses. So the joy from the wing backs was mostly tactical I’d say. I’d have to watch again to see whether the tracking back was down to laziness or intended to help us counter but we definitely wanted them to be swinging in crosses.
