It's not so much shit as it is mentally weak. 2-1 up, they're a man down, the rain starts pouring, and not only do we bottle it, but Arsenal looked the more likely scorers in the last 10 minutes.


Mentally weak? have you seen spurs over the past 2 decades?

Get a grip mate, you're the mentally weak one

it gonna be very tough for us to win the league anyway. Needed a won today. But problem is we still have to go to Chelsea and Liverpool. With Utd at home. I just hope we cam finish in top 3.

Made an absolute hash of playing against 10 men didn't we...

Disappointing after the 10 mins of utter madness where we found ourselves ahead against 10 men and the tide completely in our favour. When we needed composure, people wanting to put a foot on the ball, and moving it about and waiting for the moment as we ran them into the ground. Instead it got more open, they had plenty of momentum in the last 20 mins, and they've got something from the game.

Don't think you can blame the subs, we never had a handle on midfield all game in my opinion and both Dembele and especially Dier didn't have good games. Can see why Poch tried to sure things up. At the end of the day we had a pressure situation which called for keeping the ball and we didn't do it well enough and pass that test. It's not the first time this has happened this season when ahead In games (but people who mention it get criticised...) and today it was a factor in us not taking all three points. Need to learn from it.
That's the annoying thing, we control games for fun all season, then when that's needed, it turns into some sort of Sherwood esque benny hill mess

Frustrating.

I think in a couple of days when we reflect back on the week, it not too bad. A massive week in what is a title challenge, 3 games in a week, and another against Forientina a couple days before, two against good opposition. 4 points. We just need to hang in there really and try to pick up points.

It could have been a lot worse.

Just have to make sure we beat Villa and bournemouth now.

They look scared to lose the game at 2 - 2 rather than go on and win it, where as Arsenal had nothing to lose.

Very disappointing not to win but there will be plenty more twists and turns.

It seems just like Arsenal can't beat United even when they field a team of half crippled babies, we struggle against the goons when we're playing much better than them.

Inferiority complex.

I'm sure there's a program written somewhere that says.

IF Spurs win = X then Spurs don't win.

X= go top, beat record, it seems every time we have an IF game we bottle it.

Context is everything. A massive game for Arsenal as they could not afford to lose yet again. A draw is not what I wanted, but what I expected before the match.

I am glad that I was around to watch Spurs win the Double and then ride the roller coaster to get where they are now. But I have no delusion about their chances on todays performance. Some of you who may still have nappy rash need to be realistic about whats happening. I sincerely want to see our team win the title.........but I am a realist....COYS

Villa may be okay as they seem punchdrunk. Bournemouth will be another matter. Just need to guard against taking things for granted!

Sorry but this week has not been good enough.

We wanted a test of our title credentials, this week was it. Two hard games, 1 point.

It was a mini test of what is to come because in April/May we have a run of 5 matches and they are all very hard.

Oh and look below us. United win this weekend and they will only 5 points behind. And they are fucking shocking. It really does make me wonder where we'd be this season if we could kill teams off.

Sorry but 2011/12 still haunts me. We surely can't let this slip now?

I'm a delusional 'fan', thank you very much. We can still win it. That's not an opinion, that's a fact. Wether we will or not remains to be seen but its still on as far as i'm concerned and personally i'd have reserved the word 'delusional' for anyone who thought we'd romp away with it and not have a poor spell :D

I quite like some of the delusional fans, including you, but that doesn't change my perspective.

Huge disappointment. The three points were there to be taken, but we somehow managed to screw it up. Only one point from the six possible in propably the most important week of the season.

We should play a total B team against Dortmund and rest our key players for Villa and Bournemouth.

Second time in a row where Arsenal turn the tide when we take off Lamela. Hopefully next season, he wont be on a yellow.

We can't predict anything. Leicester may won it with 3 to spare. Maybe it's not a bad thing we go through a dodgy patch now and go on another
Big run
Season so far has been very topsy turvy, but I still think it will go right down to the wire
