    Dear Fat ****,
    I think we deserved more than zero points but we can still be proud of the way we played.

    The team gave everything to get a result and you could see that from the fans – even after the game was 1-0 they applauded the players.

    The way we played football-wise is also improving a lot and I think that is what the fans like to see.

    There is no doubt it is the best we have played this season.

    We went for the attack, went to score goals and we had opportunities, but we failed score and at the end you get one goal which is unlucky but also because of the quality of Spurs.

    If we keep working like this and keep playing like this the points will come.
    Thanks for your support,

    Dick Advocaat

    Our best player was Kaboul for me, M'Vila was absolutely outstanding and Defoe was awesome. Again, PVA was the weak link, he looked better going forward then he has been but his positional sense is non-existent. Lack of match fitness to half the team cost us in the end.

    TBF i think they all were mate. Kaboul was immense at the back, Lens ran them ragged, Defoe looked sharp and Borini was all over the place probably trying too hard but he showed us what he has to offer. I'm very optimistic for our future and Dick seems to have them playing for each other and the commitment was there for all to see. Very much improved and although we won't be winning every game, we will win enough to finish comfortable.

    Leicester? Agreed! In the other game it took the people who won 75 minutes for an attempt on target? If that's being the better side then I'll happily be second best!

    Took you 75 minutes to shoot on target? You played lovely tippy tippy stuff but we're ****e in the final third till we tired! Zero on target in 75 minutes? You happy with that?

    They won mate. They have every reason to be happy. 3 points are 3 points.

    Sorry disco but its bullshit! T hey didn't deserve it as a draw would've been a fair result. and, had our players had full pre season, they would've got a point at most (or if the referee had played to the rules and sent players off for bad fouls and given a penalty for a blatant foul in the box they wouldn't have got that!). If I was a spurs fan playing against us and scraping a lucky win I'd be happy with the point, but, as they are a side looking at Europe and we are a side looking to finish in the top 17, I would be disappointed with the performance. Also a bunch of sore winners seemingly

    Nothing to be sore about , disappointed we played **** but still went home with 3 pts, last season we dominated the game at SOL and only got a draw so it balanced out a bit.

    Agreed, the ref was awful Marcus, but fairness don't come into it mate. Had a beens, and coulda beens don't count.

    If that is the best game you have played to date then alarm bells are ringing..... Spurs have been poor so far and they come away with 3 points after you have played your best game at home.....i would be worried not happy about that.....

    I'd take 3 points over a performance every time.

    We've got no reason to be unhappy. Nor do they.

    To win you need to hit the back of the net. We just didn't do that today but it will come. The ref was **** but he wasn't to blame for the result.

    We played well and lost to a side that will end up far above us in the table. No harm done. Next week might be different.

    There was a game that happened last season and I think you snatched it despite being dominated or seeing very little of the ball. Their fans were crying - was it the match at St James? Wasn't that 3-0? Can't have been. Anyway they were crying because they said they deserved something out of the game and some/most/all (delete were necessary) of you lot were saying tough **** if you don't take your chances you don't deserve anything.

    So there you go, you deserved nowt.

    Same as we deserved **** all at Stamford Bridge last season when we bossed the match.

    ****, isn't it?

    Today's performance was a vast improvement on what's been served up lately.
    Our ageing defence kept England's 'new hope' and a £22 mil striker quiet all day.
    Am I happy to lose ?? Obviously not.
    Have I more hope after today ?? Absolutely !!
    Great to see a club bringing a proper away following... Unlike you useless Welsh ****s :emoticon-0148-yes:
