Burnley Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[cheeseman]

.

So did you back 'em? You can only come on here swinging your dick if you backed 'em!

 

[nferno]

what is it with us and last day fixtures with teams in claret and blue?

I agree with those who think we should still have been more professional and not let the 2-0 advantage slip so pathetically to the worst team in Premiership this season. Even 2-2 would have been acceptable in the circumstances. As someone said, the team should have tried a bit more at least for the 3000 loyal fans who still travelled up north even though they could have easily decided it was "meaningless" and not bother.

Chelski, Man U and Arsenal did not stop playing after it was clear they did not have to do much else today (after 2-0). Aston Villa, Liverpool, Man City were not really at the races. I would have preferred if Spurs could have actually shown they are closer to the truly top teams now, rather than to the also-rans. Would have been a good statement of new, more professional Spurs.

:rofl:

Things would have been so different under Wendy Random, wouldn't they?

We lost the last game of the Double Season to a ho-hum mid-table Baggies side, at the Lane. What a fucking disgrace. Bill Nicholson should have been sacked.

I'm a little bit worried at Lennon's reluctance to run at defenders, many times he could have gotten at Fox(?) but time and time again he just played it back to Kaboul, I know he's been out for a long time but he's not going to get back to his best(1st half of this season) if he just plays it safe every time.

I am aware he set up Bale's goal btw :wink:

Very disappointed...Players worn out after a highly charged week, or just the key players playing at a lower gear to preserve their World Cup opportunity? Def think the latter applies to Lennon and King and Daws. Oh well...

Whatever…

We knew we had fourth, let's not agonise.

Does anyone really care about today?

Us travelling fans had a great Champions League party.

True, though I felt Lennon should've put his all into this game in order to show Capello he's ready for the World Cup.

Hopefully he'll make the 30 and shine in the friendlies/training and make the 23.

 

[Michey]

Does anyone really care about today?

Not really

but...

When being 2 up it felt like we might have seen another Spurs. Going up there and doing the business, being professional and showing no mercy. But at the end it felt like something we've seen so many times before.

As i wrote initially....not to bothered but it didn't feel very professional.

 

[Kendall]

I feel exactly the same Michey. I'm over it, whereas if it was during the season, even with us being say 6th with nothing to play for, I'd be annoyed all week.

Fact is we finished top 4 and that's a great achievement but seeing the same old spurs underestimate their opponents and come unstuck so spectacularly is dissappointing because you know the other top teams would have still been professional and done their job.

Actually, K., I've United doing exactly the same thing AFTER securing the title.

We should have changed it up before this game; also as has been said we should have been more professional and finished them off.

And Kendall is back in the room x

Arsenal conceded three against Wigan in the last 10 minutes when they still had places to play for.

 

[ShelfSide18]

It's nothing to do with 'the old Spurs' at all.

'The old Spurs' would have lost at City on Wednesday, in fact the Semi Final defeat would have been the end of the season for 'the old Spurs', although 'the old Spurs' would have struggled to make it that far into April with what they could throw away.

It seems people haven't quite got used to 'the new Spurs' just yet.

I think yesterday was only the 2nd time in the Premier League that the top 2 teams both won on the final day.

Tell you what, after seeing the highlights
We hit the Bar & post, so was unlucky, but Alnwick was awful. He could have done better for all 4 goals. he simply has to go because godforbid Gomes gets injured.

I'm not worried about yesterday at all after seeing the highlights.
