    Don't be too hard on yourselves you fought we'll today and in the first half we showed you too much respect by pressing too deep which resulted in the end to end goal fest in the first half. 2nd half we came out with more intent and pressed higher enabling us to counter attack more effectively. Your players were spent after the brutal game against United and it showed. We had a rested team and it made the difference in the last 20 mins. Hold your heads high toon it's not as bad as it looks.

    With the exception of Colo it will make you feel depressed big time.

    To be fair to them, they've been almost tactful in so much as they haven't come over here on the WUM. Would kind of liked the ribbing to be honest, helps the heeling process to laugh at oneself.

    They also got beat today, and might be feeling a touch of the same emotions as us in truth. Watched their game, they had the better of it for the first 20 minutes, the next 15 were even, and Spurs just about edged the last 10 of the first half. Second half it was more open, but in all honesty I think they were hard done by too. They didn't get duffed 7 though.

    Really I think Spurs dominated both halfs and could have had 7! They look top class. Sandro oozes quality, ran the game from start to finish
