Completely and utterly devastated. We have lost 13 games this season. But this one? How can we shoot ourselves in the foot anymore?

I hope Ajax destroy us and we bounce back for the last game of the season and beat Everton.

why would you hope Ajax destroy us?

Just whenever we contrive to get out of the top four, our blundering rivals pull us back in.

Hope the trend continues tomorrow.

Exactly. That was just one game and it was down to a poor performance by the players, but this season's performance falls squarely on Levy, a small and below standard squad leaving us with no options when a crop of injuries occur.
I won’t put the blame totally on Levy but between him and Poch and scouts and whoever else.

He had no one but himself to blame for the sending off today but he played well in his previous game for us.

I think that you’re overreacting here.

He's shown a lot of promise, it's true.

However, it's not that's simply error prone. He seems to be wildly, irrationally confident. What he needs is a little bit more humility... but would that make him less of a player?

I think it is paramount that we get 3rd for CL - I can see Arsenal vs Chelsea final in Europa & one of them will take the 4th place away. We don't stand a chance in the final regardless of who we meet if we were to get there in the first place. Right now, 3rd is out of our hands unless Watford can turn over Chelsea or at least get a draw, then we have to win against an in-form Everton. The only way is the Spurs way and that is a worry :(

Kill me! Just kill me! ?

As much as I dislike the way in which investment in the team has been non existent over the last two transfer windows, today's result is on the team.

Having now seen the videos posted earlier, I don't really blame Son nearly as much as I did during the match itself. Lerma gets off completely scot-free for BOTH a blatant and late shoulder barge into Son's chest AND and intentional and malicious stamp on Son's hand.

When a player gets targeted in that manner it's totally normal for there to be a bit of afters, and you virtually never see a simple shove warrant more than a yellow card. So Son is taking a booking (999 times out of a thousand) to stand up for himself because the ref is completely neglecting his duty to keep Lerma under control.

I'm obviously biased but I'd argue that both of Lerma's incidents -- in particular the stamp -- were far more representative of the criteria for violent conduct than Son's push. How often do you see a stamp elicit a red card, versus a shove? The former is a thousand times more common than the latter, yet the latter warrants a sending off in Pawson's eyes and the former goes completely unpunished!

To make matters worse, having decided that a shove is a red card offense the referee then turns a blind eye to Son himself having been shoved. Different standards applied to the same offense within seconds of one another. The entire buildup to and aftermath of the sending off were an absolute disgrace.

Some of you reckon Pawson got his shit right with both sendings off?

LOL

He just built a game for T.V next Sunday.

We've got the square root of fuck all since Poch tried to show up that **** Dean and we've paid for it in the league, since.

Full on banter weekend with some of you though, carry on.

Ok ok I know that was all rubbish. But just so desperate for 3 more points.

Been sleepwalking into Thursday nights and the Europa League.
It will be fully deserved by Pochettino and these gutless players.

Well he got it wrong with Dier before. We can't blame the ref today, it's poor and this team has previous for imploding at this stage of the season
