We're done as a club. No ambition, no desire, terrible owners, knackered players. We need a major rebuild which won't happen because of the owners. Kane will now leave.

Yep, we're done. Back to mid table obscurity we go.

Tell you what, for most of the 2nd half I thought Kane was putting in a herculean performance, he was surrounded by some absolutely awful performances.

Poor bastard. If we're going to force him to stay, we need to make some serious changes to make it worth his while.

I think criticism of Spurs is a bit harsh today.

Last 2 finals against peak pool and peak city who have raised the standard so high, have made some of our very good players look worse than they actually are.

The players have had to forget the Jose way of playing and adopt a new style in 6 days against an incredible city squad that had there best players on the pitch.

The most obvious statement of the day will be to say getting the next manager right is crucial and more importantly getting the right standard of players.

Well that was the most pathetic attempt at a cup final performance
Disagree. At least we got a few yellow cards. Going 1 down in a CL final inside 2mins and still not even picking up a single yellow card is a real roll over and have your belly tickled performance.

Lloris and Kane are too good for this club, they deserve a lot better.
Do they? Show me a passionate moment from either one rallying the team, screaming at them to fight. How is this a sob story about Kane?

Don't know why people are saying it will be a painful rebuild?

I'd be more than happy to sacrifice 90% of this team to build something with kids who actually have some pride and desire to fight for the shirt.

I would feel no pain about gutting around half of this squad, maybe more.

Oh no but one literally cannot read anything into his potential with the amount of experience that he has had.
Well personally, I think he has bags of potential. I just think that a team like Spurs is not a job for a first time manager. I know he’s a caretaker so that comment was directed more at some of the fans that were calling for him to get the job full time.

That’s all on Levy.
Oh hell yes - totally! The club can't or won't progress all the time ENIC own us. The only hope, and really it is, is if they sell - or else we are doomed. I honestly feel for the future of this club in the top flight if we don't shake things up at the club.

People say don’t blame Mason and I get it but the changes made or rather not made were just so poor .

However the one constant in all of this is ENIC and Levy. One trophy in 30 years 20 of which they have been the owners is an absolute farce.

For some of these players to eventually leave Spurs having won nothing is just unforgivable.

The sooner we get a midfield combo that works the better. Midfield has been out achilles heel for so long. We can complain all we like about defence but it's the engine that controls the game and ours is a mini metro

I suppose as defeats in important games go it wasnt the worst.
We are serial losers now beyond any shadow of doubt.
Timid little team followed by a lot of timid little weasels who wail "I remember the 90s/We don't want to do a Leeds/Hail Sir Daniel built the best piece of real estate in London".

The reaction of people saying Mason is a coward and should fuck off is laughable. A parody of reactionary fan. Stuff like that makes me realise as a fan base we don't deserve trophies.
Your right keyboard warriors with no grasp on reality. Under 30 and expecting instant success bleeding twats

There is some mad stat where we have only won a handful of games with them as our midfield.
