    Watford, four games in to the season, are the first to pull the trigger on their coach. Ouch.

      Spurs go 1 nil up and lose 2-7 at home.

      Ouch.

      At least they are in the CL though, I suppose. Looks as though they will be in Europa after this pool stage.

        @Hooroo The red half of North London will take some satisfaction that an ex-Gunner (Gnabry) scored 4 of them.

          We have not played well for some time. Unsettled players who want away, some out of form and confidence, and an intense manager who appears to have lost the dressing room. Not a good mix

            shit chages very quickly doesn't it? It's not very long ago that Spurs were the darlings, football done the right way, with a manager every one wanted. Now the media will do everything to get him sacked.

            Spurs suffering from a lack of investment. Standing still is going backwards in the money arms race that is the top level of European soccer.

            Still, Real Madrid were held at home by Brugge.

              Our finals run last year was lucky, and papered over the fact we could barely win a game late last season. If Arsenal hadn't been poor too we would have missed out on UCL qualification this season. Still, after all of it, we are still in a race for the second spot with Olympiakos

                Spurs have 23 points in the last 19 league games - so basically that is half a season of "close to the relegation zone" form. It is never good to concede 7 at home although they are still more than capable of qualifying if they can win their other 2 home games.

                  This is the result Spurs have needed to get a reality check.

                  My colleague is a season ticket holder - looking forward to today ...

                      Interesting game at Anfield - Liverpool into a quick 3-0 lead over Salzburg before being pegged back to 3-3 but going on to take it 4-3. Good away win to Chelsea 2-1 at Lille

                        Spurs were appalling in a 3-0 loss vs Brighton. We are looking like a relegation zone team sadly, the players look like they have given up on the manager. I'm not sure if Poch will survive this, if he stays they need to perform major surgery on the player roster to bring in fresh blood

                          Man Yoo really REALLY suck.

                          Chelsea starting to look bloody impressive too.

                          Shock loss for City at home, Liverpool wayyyyyy out on their own now.

                            @MajorRage we probably need to drop a bunch of the wantaway players and follow Chelsea in playing the yoof. No sense in holding on to guys who have mentally checked out

                              Big lead already for Liverpool and they seem to have mastered the art of winning ugly. Not all over yet and City are equipped to win 15 in a row .... but I'm calling it - Liverpool's title to lose!

                              Watched the 2nd half of Newcastle v Man U this morning and surely Ole hasn't got long to turn things around. 17 points from the last 17 league games is relegation form and they just look so slow and uninspired - they have no central striker (Rashford can't do the job) and the sale of Lukaku is looking bad with no replacement brought in.

                                    I'm pretty sure our wage structure is such that he, and others can earn a lot more elsewhere. He will be free to walk in the Summer and I think any club that wants him will be happy to wait. He wants to go to the dumpster fire that is RM. He recently reportedly turned down a new 200,000 GBP a week deal (??!!?!?), but Jack Wilshire gets 400K a week so you can see the problem

                                      you can see why Eriksen isn't a happy chap.

                                      I'm pretty sure our wage structure is such that he, and others can earn a lot more elsewhere. He will be free to walk in the Summer and I think any club that wants him will be happy to wait. He wants to go to the dumpster fire that is RM. He recently reportedly turned down a new 200,000 GBP a week deal (??!!?!?), but Jack Wilshire gets 400K a week so you can see the problem

                                      Online sources have Wilshere at 100K per week - there's no way he could command 400K per week, that is Alexis Sanchez territory.

                                        Clearly the person that told me that was talking out his arse then! Would fit in perfectly here 🤣. I think a bunch of our players are infected with what Pat Riley called the disease of me. The success that we've had has made them look at greener pastures (and rightfully so). Some of our players might be going downhill now, the art is to sell these guys before you feel you need to, and reload with fresh players who inject new energy into the squad. At least three of our first team players will walk for free in the Summer

                                          Another interesting weekend - Liverpool finally drop a point, Man City get back on track without playing a single centre-back, Chelsea keep on track as do Leicester, the Arse lose to Sheff United (a very Arsey result) and Spurs are lucky to scrape a draw with Watford.

                                          The VAR continues to baffle all - not a single ref has chosen to run to the sideline to check a monitor even though it is available to them. Penalty decisions are never overturned even for clear hacks (Spurs v Watford) although a goal was disallowed for a minor unintentional brush (Leicester v Burnley) and offsides are measure to the millimetre but not handballs if there is a question of shoulder or arm (Spurs v Watford) - when it was probably both shoulder and arm given the size of a football.
