Who said you can’t criticise?

You said that people feel entitled to vent and that's way it is now. And that you hope the criticism or negativity doesn't filter down to the club.

That to me sounds like your saying we shouldn't be critical of what was a dogshit performance in case poor little Serge hears that 80 percent of Tottenham fans think he's rubbish or people want Sissoko sold. If I'm wrong I'm wrong though.

It's not that people feel entitled. Entitlement doesn't even come into it. Some fans see everything in a positive light and have lilywhite goggles on all the time. Others don't and get frustrated when they see a performance like tonight

We as fans are fully entitled to vent against our team if we have high expectations of them. Its easy for the happy fucking clappers to invade the thread with their high horse bollocks. If we lose 4th it'll be a disaster...will you then say its all fine?

You are behaving like a spoilt child. We are Spurs not RAWK.

Criticise fine. Be disappointed and angry, fine. But mindlessly vent and call players fuckwits and the club legends?

That’s just spoilt shite. Cut it out.

You were made to look foolish only the other day in SC when you talked down Kane, now you have returned for another dowsing.

When was his "last five or six games"?

Look at his scoring record, then come back in and look for a scapegoat.

Before his injury Harry scored:

1 Palace
1 Rochdale
1 Arsenal
1 Liverpool

4 Assists

Those were his "last five or sixe games" before he was injured.

11 March Injured against Bournemouth

Came on as a Sub against Chelsea 1st April

1 at Stoke

He is scoring a goal every 95 minutes. Just what do you want?

I mean you really do not know what you are talking about.
And yet more people are seeing what I'm seeing, and your club is shrinking. I want him to play well, but he isn't. And don't talk Stoke, come on...
What do I want?
Why is just 6 assists this season when he should be into double digits? He is too selfish. When the going was good, no one cared. But the going has been getting worryingly worse.
Liverpool - really lucky with the second penalty. He missed sitters both at Palace and Arsenal - real sitters. Stoke is a joke and you know it - a really cringy moment and that could have affected team spirit. Kane bigger than everyone else, etc. Invisible against Juve at home.
We beat Chelsea without him, struggled against Stoke, ineffective against City, and rubbish tonight (overall play).
He is meant to be our inspiration and yet he seems to be very self-focused at the moment. No inspiration and dejected body language.

So if a completely out-of-sorts Chelsea beat the best team for form in the whole league, they'll be as many points behind as Arsenal were when we went on our worst one of results in recent years. And even then they'll be miles behind on goal difference, would be in poor form rather than 6 games unbeaten as Arsenal were, and we have no big sides in the run-in rather than Chelsea away that year. That is not a reason to panic.
There's not a reason for panic, but it could be complacency that gives us a run of results that we might not be expecting.

Making lots of changes rarely ever works for us even when we play lower league teams.
Despite the draw tonight I still think it was the right call, the semi final is a huge match for us and takes priority


To be fair though, I don't think there are many teams who could make 6 changes work, even City would struggle.

A Chelsea side with Tottenhams CL spot as a target will be a different beast to the one that has looked shit the last few weeks, Same used to happen to Arsenal.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Chelsea win all their games on the run in now.

I am not being particularly pessimistic, I genuinely see that to be the case. We've dangled a carrot in front of them tonight by playing a weak side for no good reason and dropping points.

There is a difference between criticising and venting. It’s very simple and easy to spot.

Like the guy who accused Harry Kane of protecting himself for the World Cup.

Harry Kane.

Can you see this very clear and obvious difference?

Another important away point, just need two wins and a draw even if Chelsea win all their games, are we likely to lose more than one of our last four games? I doubt it particularly when we have three home games and our away game is West Brom.

Not in circumstances this comfortable for us, this close to the end of the season it hasn't, no.

except it literally has.

Quite literally. We have collapsed at the same point and been caught.

Have you thrown out your Spurs 2016 annual already??
