    Farcical.

    Wherever Spurs finish this season will be higher than we deserve to.

    Our lack of ambition is shameful. We're a man up and do we pin them in their own penalty area with fast attacking play? Do we bollocks.

    We got what we deserved.

    Docoure was dumb, but Kane is just a rat, gets away with all kinds because he is England captain, fucking Crayon muncher 

    He's always been like that. We all know that if he was called Henri Kané the press would give him a hard time for it but as we all know we all have to pretend otherwise. See also Stephane Gerrardo and Michel O'wen who were another two con artists.

    Everton v Spurs - Well that wasn't a good game until Everton gifted Spurs a penalty - After that it showed almost everything that is wrong with Spurs - Conte said some home truths about Spurs and that showed last night - If points were to be awarded for having some fight in your belly, a purpose, a reason to bust a gut and show everyone that you have some spunk in you and are willing to fight, then Everton showed that - Give Everton 3 points for that

    Yet Spurs had a lot to play for - the chance of putting Man U out of the top 4 CL place, yet they showed no interest and/or ability in taking advantage of that - 2 shots on target all night and one of those was a penalty

    Son and Kulusevski should be embarrassed to collect a wage packet this week/month - There were others but those two were poor - We know Spurs can be very easy on the eye at times, but that was just poor 

    If one game alone, was to convince Kane that it is time to move on and play some good football with some good lads then this was it 

    Spurs should be well better than last nights effort

    Kane kicked the first Everton player - foul given against him (could have been yellow card). Carries on to kick Docoure after the whistle had gone (should have been yellow card). Then grabs Docoure (should have been another yellow card). 

    Red card for Docoure was correct, but Kane should have seen red as well.

    England captain, can do what he likes it seems. As I said docoure was stupid, but watching it back it looks like he is swinging to get Kanes arm away from him, and gets it all wrong

    When was the last game where you thought the referee was gave 50:50 decisions against Kane?

    You showed much more fight than we did. 

    Played well for 15 mins then we sat back after the goal. Invited too much pressure and no sense of urgency. If the players were fighting for Cooper’s job last night, it was a funny way of showing it….no desire at all, with the exception of Felipe (who is world class) and Niakhaté at the back. 

    We are in dire straits right now because if we go down, this squad won’t remain together and our brightest prospects will be snapped up by other PL teams.

    Forest have just backed Steve Cooper. 

    Next 3 games - Villa (a), Man U (h), Liverpool (a)

    Gone before end of April?

    I sincerely hope you stay up - And good to hear that they have decided to remove any rumour about Cooper and back him - Good to see especially in this current climate

    Sinisterra, to me. has had to prove himself - Admittedly spent more time with the physio than the first team, but so far produced little - But had a good game last night - And Jack Harrison has re-gained his form since Jessie left 

    But no one yet safe in that last nine

    Nope, I doubt they'll get rid of him before the end of the season now, regardless. Wouldn't matter who came in at this late stage - they wouldn't keep us up if a further run of bad form was the reason for him being sacked later this month. 

    Villa (a) will define our season. Last time Cooper was publicly backed (after similar speculation), our form improved drastically. and very quickly. 

    It's up to the players to decide if they want to fight to stay up, or whether they're just mailing it in. If I don't see any fight vs Villa, then I think the writing is on the wall and we'll be down regardless. If we fight and can somehow scrape a point, then we'll head back to the City Ground with some hope and the place will be an absolute cauldron - I've also not seen them lose at Home this season, and I've got tickets, so we're guaranteed at least a point :D

    To be fair, even if they gave Frank a long term job, he'll soon turn it in to a short term job

    OK, I'll admit it, I have totally enjoyed Chelsea's abject failure of a season. It's so typically American to think that you can march in throw a TON of money at something and expect to do well. Todd Boehly ain't a football man and it shows. 

    They will get it right somewhere down the line of course, I'm just making the most of this year!

    I'm so glad we didn't get Mudryk. For the money they paid for him he's been shit so far and I truly don't think he wanted to go there in the first place.

    Happy enough with Trossard who's done well since he's come in, he's got the PL experience and we got him for less money.

    Big one vs Liverpool on Sunday. As long as don't get beat we'll be alright, as we usually get thumped up there in recent seasons.

    My best mate is a Hammers fan. Went round his to watch it. He wasn't happy.

    Were looking pretty good for the first four minutes. They gave away 2 goals, then came right back into it.

    That 3rd goal was the killer. And embarassing.

    I feel for you. Really hope you lot stay up. 

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
