Hi TCO - obviously this is partly tongue in cheek by you I assume :) - but there's a lot of truth too -

however it's also the unfortunate legacy of our golden years - 60-63 - which are totally out of character with the rest of our history trophy wise both for quantity and quaity of trophies and lge positions - but somehow a lot of people think it is what we should be doing most decades - it won't happen folks :)

Hi to you too DC-B,

It was totally tongue in cheek, coming from a good old Catholic Boy. (now lapsed)

A lot of Spurs fans are fickle and ain't happy unless they are moaning - just like my first wife.

The second half didn't make for pleasant viewing as far as I was concerned. We played poorly second half and were a bit lucky to come away with a draw.

well I thiought it was a very good game and much better than most prem games

If I was looking at it from a neutrals point of view I would agree that it was more entertaining than most prem games but, unfortunately I am not a neutral and I would like to see more from the team I support.

Watched on tv,we wasn`t that bad.
4000 yids go to a nothing match 200 miles away - respect.
Stop moaning it doesn`t help. We`ve been this way for at east 40 years, it`s a Spurs thing.

fair enough nidge - I doubt you've been supporting the club as long as I have, when you've watched them for nearly fifty years you might get a different perspective - maybe you won't - we played well today overall - it was a good game - we didn't have a lot to play for - so I think all in all a decent day for Spurs and a good one for football

What does the length of time I have supported the club have to do with my prespective on todays performance?

well probably plenty - because you'll have seen a lot lot worse if you'd been following the club a long time and what's more you'd probably be more happy to see a good game played in the right spirit

To clarify jenas was awful today and i can understand why people get frustrated ... he's capable of so much more. Infact the whole squad are. Im my opinin we need two quality central midfielders in the summer, as jenas and zokora are clearly nowhere near the standard of the other top four clubs. And yes it was bloody cold.

jj was absolutely not awful today - he had a decent game - and was better than Keane

JJ may not be top 4 standard but then neither is Keane

the only player who deffo is is Berbs (there might be one or two others) and a lot of people spend lots of time slagging him off

Can you understand why people spend the entire game calling Jenas shit and telling him to fuck off?

What game were you watching? ... jenas gave the ball away more times than i care to remember

And yes keane has'nt performed since the carling cup final, where he didn't perform that well either.

To come to that conclusion you have to make massive assumptions about my character and personality and yet you don't even know me so how you come to conclusion is somewhat baffling.

No i agree during the game is the wrong time to do it, infact they might aswell not turn up if they're just going to hurl abuse at are own players. But what im saying is that i can see where there coming from, it wasn't good enough. Complete lack of effort from too many players who can, and should be capable of much more.

.

same game you were - and jj wasn't awful - he did a lot of good things in the game

if you're looking for awful look at Keane & O'Hara to start with - both had worse games than JJ - I'd also say (but wouldn't be so sure) that Steed had a worse game and so did zokora - his marking on heskey for the goal - now that was awful

How dare you say a bad word about keane!

After all every mistake he made was JJ's fault!

What game were you watching Jenas's pass completion was a very respectable 86% our worst passer today was berbatov with 67% so if you were to blame anyone for giving away possesion today it would have to be berbatov. (Of course it's not always a simple as that)

cheers Legend and nidge - so KingK - what game were you watching - clearly not the one on the pitch - 86% completion rate mmmm

once again the JJ bashers are/were out in force it seems

incidentally the only ratings I've seen so far are Sky's where JJ gets 6 out of 10 - as did most to be fair - lowest rated Zokora on 5
