Dembele has been one of our best players all season. The last part of your post is therefore unfathomable.frustrating night for dembele he gave it away so many times, in dangerous areas, always tries and does too much with it
More to the point, who are you?Who are you?
What point were you trying to make?I'm really disappointed in how we acted. Disgraceful to end our title dreams like that. One of the few times i have not been proud of being a Spurs fan. One thing is to bottle it, but to act like that is completely unacceptable. Not only did it look like we tried to injure them on purpose in the end, but we also actd like children. Dembele eye poking/scratching, Lamela stepping on Fabregas hand and Walker throwing boogers after Costa.
Embarressing...
We have not yet secured second place and we might end up with more players out now because of that. If we bottle second place...
I really can't blame any of our players for what that game descended to. Before any of the handbag incidents Terry had got away with elbowing Jan in the face, and Costa had got away with headbutting him as well. They'd already been kicking us every time we had the ball and throwing themselves to the floor every time they had it. Clattenburg was party to all of it in his steadfast refusal to penalise anything Chelsea did. I'd be astonished if he's allowed to remain in charge of the cup final after that embarrassingly inept excuse for officiating.
Never thought i'd see the day where John Terry spoke some sense yet here we are
John Terry: "We weren't here to stop Tottenham. That hurt us tonight, passing the Premier League title to Leicester." #CFC #THFC #LCFC
Terry also pleaded with the @FA not to suspend players. "Let's not get silly and start banning people. It's a London derby." #CFC #THFC

Ummmm alot of posts are talking about how its been a great season? Im not sure what you're getting at here....I'm extremely disappointed at the reaction of so many members on here tonight. Yes it would have been wonderful had we won but sadly we let Chelski back into the game and eventually we ended up with a draw. That our players over reacted, brain farts all around, disgusting play……IMHO the players were subject to all sorts of dark arts by Terry and his motley crew and I liked the way they reacted because it now shows we have the balls to stand up to this type of unbridled bullying. We're still in second place and I'm quite sure we'll end up there after the next two games. Chelski, for all their corrupt money, have underwhelmed enormously this season and tonight's match was for them, as one of their twitter followers said, right up there with their champions league win……. pretty typical of the type of fan that follows them these days.
Economically we still haven't a snowball's chance in hell to compete with these sad mercenaries but for 4/5ths of the game we were leading them based on superior endeavour and intelligence, playing with what is now typical passion and enthusiasm.
Yes we made mistakes, all teams do, but for heaven sake, man up the majority of you and stop sounding like whining arsenal followers who take a top 4 place as their God given right. We've done amazingly well under Mauricio's 20 month tenureship and not one of us prior to the start of the season expected we'd be in 2 nd place and automatic entry into the champions come this stage of the season.
Clattenburg could have avoided all the shenanigans if he would have clamped down early on. But he let all of their shit slide and continued to the entire game. So after a while, the boys decided that instead of shutting them up while playing football, we'll shut them up at their own game. They were expecting that we'd roll over after enough of their bullshit. Instead, we fought back.Prior to Kane's goal, the ref seemed to let quite a few Chelsea fouls go, including several that probably should have been yellow cards. Nearly every time we got into the final third, either one of our players was taken down by a late challenge or a run was blocked off. Early on, one of their players (Fabregas?) kicked out, but lucky for him he missed and it went unnoticed by the officials.
We did well to match Chelsea's physicality, and probably wouldn't have taken the lead otherwise. Our mistake was getting caught up in confrontations off the ball, instead of staying focused, and then making a handful of rash tackles late on.
I was gutted that once again we were undone in a big game by lax marking on a corner. We did the same against Leicester (Huth).
Agree 100% with this. Was thinking early on that the ref was letting too many fouls pass, quite a few on Kane. The ref got the game where he wanted it and had there been a sending off, he'd have been the one responsible.Clattenburg could have avoided all the shenanigans if he would have clamped down early on.
