What did he say?
How mediocrity is so willingly accepted by our support is embarrassing. Lets have it right we had 63% of possession yesterday, and 62% of it the other night, yet ended up losing 2-0 whilst creating the square root of sod all in the process. Both occasions the opposition knew just to sit back, hit us on the counter whilst knowing our defence would gift them a chance as they are a utter shambles. 2 clean sheets in the last 15, 1 of them at home to a League 1 side, tells you all you need to know about our defence.
In pursuit of the 3rd rated trophy in this country against 1 of the best teams in Europe, where also the reward is EL qualifying rounds, we have slammed the door shut on the FA cup (24 years since we won it) and the EL (CL spot for winners). Winning the league was out of the question so why not keep your options open? Oh well we still got the 4th place cup race to look forward to eh......
p.s. People patting themselves on the back because of our support yesterday, that should be a given not something celebrated because I like others sang up.
He said the same when they beat us earlier this season and fuck all when we won 5-3Mourinho was quick to praise Tottenham and their manager Mauricio Pochettino after the match as well.
He said: 'I'm really happy. I think I should start by talking about Tottenham and about Mauricio, because they are a fantastic team.
'He's building a great team, they gave us a very difficult match and I feel sorry for them. He (Pochettino) is doing a fantastic work and is having a great evolution in his career.'
You mistake mediocrity with transition and progress, I'm not happy with our recent results but I appreciate that we are not halfway along the road to where I firmly believe we are headed. When you have 63% of posession and mostly in the opponents half you are ready to work on the next step to overcome the packed defence.How mediocrity is so willingly accepted by our support is embarrassing.

He sounds like a school teacher!. Patronising twat.He said the same when they beat us earlier this season and fuck all when we won 5-3
Walker was still hobbling around at the start of the second half so I'd say it was a big factor, personally.Second goal Walker defended poorly, first he was not close enough to Costa and secondly I want players to defend with a desire, "defend at all cost attitude" but Walker left the field first half injured so it might have influenced the situation? I don't know. Luck or unlucky both situations which cheatski scored from should not have been happening in the first place. Good teams create their own luck. Spurs where the best team in the first half, but in the second half we only created half chances. So we can all dwell on if Eriksens free kick had gone in but it is a waste of time. If Spurs has learned anything from the last week it must be take our chances and defend with concentration and desire, if not, you gonna get punished.
