Very well written and argued.
I think that Harry has to take some of the blame here. Attacking when you are two up soon after half time is fine but their aught to be Plans,A,B and C for situations later in games.
Substitutions seem to be designed to run the clock down rather than to counter those of the opposition.
A lot of support for the mental weakness theory but these problems are better approached as footballing problems and could be could be solved by better coaching and tactics.
Holding the ball when ahead, not giving away possesssion quite so easily.
And most essential, take your chances.
But and I have to say it, we are not doing too badly just making sure that the final third of the season is going to be unnecessarily exciting.

Zamora? Can’t think of a clean comment on THAT. I blame some of the older hands on our coaching staff - someone should have been screaming into Harry’s shell-like that putting Bale at left back for an entire half would end in tears.

Hey spang, agree on the BAE comment, but how about Corluka switch to the left and Hutton on the right. Bale is pathetic!! Yes angry at the result. I blame the manager in this case.

Hey. How rude! Not saying it wasn’t bale’s fault. I’m saying his poor defending means he needs solid support. I’ll put your comment down to some misguided anger at the result.

And BAE was a walking red card waiting to happen. Hard to argue with that half time sub, IMHO.

I must be the only spurs fan not feeling to bad tonight, happy with the draw, I’m from the same small town in Ireland where the young Seamus Coleman’s from and I know the kid, when he came on I knew he was going to take his big chance, and I’m happy for him. Spurs blew it but we’ll bounce back.. Come on u spurs!!!!!

Was it Ephedrine that saved the penalty well without a piss test and blood the answer should be no .But because this drug is so fucking easy to spot it could be yes .And it may amaze you but watching Sheffield utd last year beat Preston Paddy was one of a number of players on my energy watch and he failed a drug test for Ephedrine but he bought it from a chemist in cough mixture .If you doubt me like you always do look at Cahill AND howard on sky thin and high on octane energy and ill looking .I would love to talk about Harrys tactics but how can i when all i see is managers trying to explain and save a penalty from a player on fire with a team that played on Wednesday on a wet energy sapping pitch and you lot want me to slagg defoe of and crouch fuck off it wont happen unless i no the team we beat is not cheating .I have just heard Fulham manager who i like but he is also in charge of energy abusers saying the reason they beat Sunderland who gave utd a fright was they have two good strikers bobby zamorah and cant think of the other one utd fucked him of for being crap no its because your team are also shrinking with every game and domt tire

Davspurs,

Was ephedrine the reason Defoe missed the penalty?

Just when you think you’ve seen it all and feel like Spurs can’t possibly wind up you up any further.

There’s still a long way to go, but this side hasn’t the quality up front or at the back to maintain a top 4 place.

I’m officially off the top 4 bandwagon.

Well lads you may be gutted but Davspurs is Heart broken and i cant even watch my beloved spurs it hurts even more when my own fans call me various names like your a twat and so on. Growing up in the seventy s Supporting Spurs with Utd Everton and Liverpool on your door step it makes you tough i soon had a fight every day in school till no one dared and i was the top cockerel so calling me a twat is nice .Now the reason for the twat is energy cheats and me exposing them on blogs this is not grassing and is something i was brought up not to do. All my relatives support Everton Liverpool or utd and finding out one of them was using Ephedrine two years ago staggered me and learning this drug was banned from cough mixture for causing Heart attacks and strokes. This made my discovery even more disbelieving till players all over Europe were dropping dead during games . And i stated thinking could this be EPHEDRINE causing these deaths so that is why i started my campain because mixing this drug with caffeine is a deadly cocktail and the drinks they throw on are caffeine based .This is not o say my theory of footballer dying is the truth far from it but something that kneaded highlighting the reason drinks are thrown on is dry mouth from using energy so i have noticed a lot of chewing this year instead and players spitting drinks out well done .So why did Everton come back like lazarus did from the dead and tim slim Howard save the pen and why cant i watch spurs play some teams . well its all in this blog. and it all action loads of energy.

So no one is blaming Defoe for missing the penalty or only taking one chance in about 7 .I feel we struggled to-day when they came at us in the second half but we should have killed the game by then.Defoe and crouch tried but missed to many chances and assouu was pants with the thudd not much better.Still think we need to get rid of Jenas,bentley,hutton,woodgate (only as leds is getting a new contract) and pavachenko with Muntari,Upson and Bolettli or something like that he plays for the special one in Italy is 20 and looks very good.This idea of a fourth striker is nuts go get one who will push the other 3 for their places thus creating competition .Sandro would add more cover in midfield and a keeper aswell.This would give us a chance of 4th which at the minute i feel we will drop out of finishing 6-7th.Just my views but feel we are light when defoe is not there and sometimes not that dangerous when he is.
