    Yeah, but you've got a ways to go before you get to some of our end of seasons over the last couple of decades.

    Chin up...

    Some suggestion that he might return to Selhurst Park, Zaha style.
    I think he's a good defender but he's unsuited to how Utd like to play.
    Solid, dependable and unflustered. Doesn't provide enough attacking impetus for them, though.

    Our failures this season are recorded on camera for a documentary where (we look like) we've blown a CL spot to our most loathed rivals. Whatever rubbish you've endured over the years, at least it won't be presented as entertainment value for everyone else (thanks Amazon). And whatever you say about your one, at least your Amazon doc didn't have us usurping you in the penultimate games for the whole world to feast on.

    Gonna be a hard watch knowing how it's all ended...

    The All Or Nothing shows are very sympathetic to the clubs involved.

    Yes we have let BIG MONEY take over the game. I did enjoy watching Spurs become the first team to win the double since league football started.....only for Arsenal to make it look cheap with a team of choppers! But what a joy.Pure Tottenham football.....through the 60's,70's and 80's then we lost out to the nasties.Hopefully we will regain it and give big money a run for their........!?

    Did we get the right player?
    He doesn’t even move the same as he did at Palace. He seemed more of an athlete getting up and down the right hand side. Now he moves like he has two left feet.

    4 for me, but that also means I have seen you win a lot more!

    As for Ramsey I am actually with you and I would suggest that maybe the shoot outs in the last 12 months should show managers that bringing on players for a shoot out is not a good idea.

    It aint over yet and no Spurs fan will tell you otherwise we 'should' get at least a point at Norwich, but its Spurs and we all know that if anyone can **** this up its us.

    Classic example of a player making a big move way too early on in their career. It isn't all about talent or natural ability. There needs to be a solid foundation of experience and mental strength which can't be built under the glare of multiple spotlights or it withers and dies. I'd say the same thing about Luke Shaw who became the most expensive teenager in world football when he first moved there but hasn't really kicked on since joining.

    The bright lights and wads of cash are alluring, but wisdom would caution patience.

    So, do we want an Everton win, or no win, today
    (which will influence how they play their last game this season) ??

    I actually think that they may play with more freedom on Sunday if they win tonight
