That was near perfection tonight. Had Eriksen & Alli converted those misses, then that is pretty much, as good as it gets.

Stoke rarely made any attacks of note & more importantly we rarely looked over-run or seriously under-pressure. The combination play between not just attackers, but the defence as we moved the ball through the various sections of the pitch was so good to watch; it was slick & purposeful that was so easy on the eye.

Staying grounded & staying positive. West Brom next & then see where that takes us. Come on you Spurs.

My only concern was Pochetino. Very stressed out. Hope he doesn't effect the team. Needs a chill pill.

Got to say that was top stuff.....AWAY to stoke and play like that,take a bow lads !!!!
The movement all over the pitch was outstanding,the flicks the give and goes....everyone was on the same page and they just know where each other was.
Could name the whole team but was really impressed with Danny Rose,he just gets better and better...Lamela was great aswell,he does alot of tracking back/hassling,he realltyy does get around the pitch and the option to pass to Kane,shows hes got his head screwed on(reckon he said to kane afterwards ....thats what you should have done to me twice !! )

No matter of where we finish,i'm proud to be a spurs fan and lookin forward to next season already!!!

Just as an aside, I thought Imbula looked good for an hour but then looked like he was running in treacle. Thought he was what we needed in the summer before the emergence of Dier, but if Imbula is worth the 18m Stoke paid for him Dier is worth a load more already after 1 season in midfield.

Lol ...but he knows we need to kill the game and gets a tad pissed when we don't,but i like to see the passion.
Don't think it effects the team,only drives them to think ....next time i ain't missing.
He did said sorry in the interview after though :)

Depending on your age, when Adam got put on he basically looks like he has swallowed a sheep - see Mido.

It is thoroughbreds against pony's, we have come so far under EL Poch.

There are not many other players in the world that we can seriously get that will actually improve on what we have got.

Honestly, IMHO no. 1 priority is just to keep what we have got and if so we will be even bettter next yr.

He genuinely looked like a 40 year old! My other half wouldn't believe he is 30.

I think there are players that would improve us. I just don't think we could afford or attract them.

But a gamble on an up and coming striker is a must obv. And we could probably upgrade some of the squad players.

Great game. Stuck amongst Stoke fans (no problem whatsoever, other than having to fake groan when the goals went in and mock protest and boo whenever Rose got the ball. He put it about in last year's fixture and is a much improved player. I enjoyed watching him).
My God the stadium emptied fast when the writing was on the wall.
The players are so sharp and up for it, bright and very together. It went much easier than I expected after Stoke's Liverpool loss, and they did show some brightness at the start of the second half. Took my sons to it, one of them over briefly from the States.
Great night of suppressed joy.
