Tottenham LIVE: Spurs forum and blog

And somehow we’re still alive. I’m exhausted. Shattered. I’m an emotional mess. And it is exactly for nights like these that we do it to ourselves. We put ourselves through the wringer for these moments. We might not be able to put it in a trophy cabinet (yet), but it’s the raw emotion of nights like these, the unforgettable memories that we create together, that’s the unwritten contract we write with our clubs. That is truly what being a football supporter is about. The feeling of utter emptiness and despair contrasted with moments of sheer elation. This game – in...

1 point from a possible 15

About 3 decent performances all season, we've basically gotten away with it til now.

Yet now it's all spiralling out of control, what we are seeing is what I have been warning of for a while.

Being close is not good enough if you don't achieve and then to not back/build on what you have will only make players question it all and stop performing to their previous levels.

Familiarity breeds contempt couldn't be any more fitting for what we are watching unravel in front of us.

Players comfortable in the knowledge no one is challenging them, comfortable that no...

Not so long ago we had the chance to move within 2 of then League leaders Liverpool.

At points this season we've held a 10 point and 13 point lead over Arsenal & Utd. This has closed to 1 & 3 points with Chelsea propping up the rear 4 points behind.

In 16 days Arsenal have gained 9 points on us , if not for a penalty save they'd be above just let that sink in for a moment....

Now that we've put ourselves in this predicament it's time this team stepped up and made an example of Arsenal.

For the the last few seasons of finishing above them whilst watching their demise and our rise when was the last time we actually thumped this lot?

They've beat us 5-2s 4-2s etc 3-0s when have we really put this lot to the sword?

If ever there was a time to do it it's today, get out there and put on a display.

I don't want to hear it's a derby anything can happen, why as we jibe others about us being their biggest game of the season do we not turn up with...

So after what was a pitiful performance at Turf Moor where our slimmest chance of a Title challenge despite absolutely no desire from the club to actually achieve it died, we now turn our attention to Chelsea away.

Now at the beginning of 2 huge EPL fixtures against 2 of our fiercest rivals, all part of a 4 club tussle for 3rd & 4th.
Currently we sit in the driving seat thankfully but as we know those who've supported/endured us long enough always know that that can collapse at any moment.

Chelsea have a whole heap of problems currently , dressing room unrest , no...
