    Deserved win for Spurs but the game just showcased how poor both teams are. I’m sure less stubborn managers with better strategies and coaching could do a lot more with both - although there is a huge gap to not just the top teams, but the top six or so generally.
    Spurs are in a lot healthier state than Utd.

    First time Spurs have had consecutive clean sheets
    since match week 9 of last season.

    < take small victories where you can >

    That's our first league home win since we beat Villa on the 3rd of November. <yikes>

    So Ipswich and then Man City next. 3 points guaranteed.

    Strange one that. Despite how poor we are, I felt confident that there was a solid chance of 3 points today. - and that match went exactly how I expected it to.
    United are basically us, but even worse. They try to play, and just have very little to offer because they’re full of average players. Can’t score/finish chances when they need to, have a midfield that’s easily over run, and a poor defence. That squad needs major surgery.

    anyway, a decent result and a much needed win. Can’t believe it’s been 15 weeks since we won at home. <yikes>

    Pace and physicality of the premier will take some getting used to for him , he's only had a few starts for Bayern this season , the good thing he was getting into some good positions , give the lad some starts off the bench after Solanke gets back then he can be judged

    That win was huge. The season restarts now.

    A solid run of form from now on and it all starts to look very different.

    If we happen to meet Man U in the Europa League, we'll have a little more confidence.

    Let's go!

    The stats that Sky showed our dropped points from a winning position, showed how much we needed back up to strengthen our position during those games , hopefully a fitter deeper side will show good

    Can only meet them in the final I believe.

    I’d be confident if that happened. Utd are pants

    Interesting stat: Ange is the first Spurs manager in Premier League history to do a league double over Man Utd

    None of Poch, Redknapp, Jol or the rest managed that

    I don't think this interesting stat has anything to do with Ange's ability as a coach.

    Just been catching up on the protest, definitely had some numbers today.

    Usually there’s only been about 50-100 people on the corner of Park Lane barely making any noise but just with a “Levy Out” banner. From the clips I’ve seen I reckon there’s gotta be a good 1500-2000 that marched down the high road.

    They were met by a solitary individual who was holding a “Levy In” sign and who I’m beginning to think was @PowerSpurs <laugh>.

    Another clip also shows Donna Cullen getting verbally abused and jeered as she entered through the premium area.

    A few hundred staged a sit-in protest too.
