    You didn't have an off night. You were just totally outplayed.

    We had an awful night. Nowhere near our recent standards.

    It's not an excuse for our performance, but your pitch is ****e. It looks like a caravan park!

    Genuine title contenders play badly and still win.

    We have done before. But last night was genuinely one of our worst performances of the season.

    We deserved nothing and got nothing. I suspect arses will be kicked!

    Always makes me laugh when we completely outplay a team and they blame it on a bad day at the office.

    Spurs didn't play well last night because West Ham wouldn't let them. Bilic out thought Pochetino and played a system that Spurs had no idea how to handle.

    We closed down quickly and worked hard from the first whistle to the last. The Spurs players walking off the pitch at HT looked worried. They knew they weren't getting back into that game in the second half.

    Nonsense! Our passing was all over the place. Final ball non existent. We looked sluggish, tired even. Our usual high pressing was missing too. It was just an awful performance.

    The only other comparable performance of ours I can think of this season was against Newcastle at WHL.

    Did West Ham play on a different pitch?

    Any complaints about the ball they forced Spurs to use?

    No, but maybe they're slightly more accustomed to playing on that cowpatch??

    We were playing with our fourth choice centre forward, no right back and a midfielder at centre back. And we still totally outplayed you.

    Edit. Oh and we had to bring on 17 year old Reece Oxford for a senior defender for the last 30 minutes. (And he had Kane in his pocket the whole time)

    Allardyce complained about the Boleyn pitch on Saturday aswell.

    So it didn't suit his team of long ball cloggers and It didn't suit Spurs' and their supposedly slick passing game.

    Sounds like an easy excuse to me.

    Has HIAG explained yet why he's pleased that Spurs lost to West Ham?

    Cool, your a fabulous team. Hope you give Leicester a good run for their money. However if you miss out and finish 2nd, I think you should be proud regardless.

    Stan, stop talking bollocks. You don't have to be Barcelona to play football the right way. You sound like a modern day fanboy.

    Easy tiger.

    From what I saw on the highlights and have read in the media, Spurs were outplayed.

    To come out with "yeh but the pitch was ****" is quite frankly pathetic. If the Gooners said that you lot would get through 50 pages in no time.
