400% agree. But all United fans go to ground after a bad result.

I would have loved to have been there - but I bet we will all remember where we were watching this fantastic performance and exceptional result. I thought after the penalty after 30 seconds - here we go again. Really ecstatic about how we turned it around. A truly unicorn of a display. Well done lads. You did us all proud today.

You are not wrong, none of them are answering their phones.
 
Ah, what a lovely day for football. We absolutely smashed them. So much movement from our lads all over the pitch - now let's hope we don't get anyone injured on international duty and manage to keep the momentum going against Wet Spam.
 
This week has been phenomenal, but in typical Spurs fashion I am reluctant to get my hopes too high. Maybe it's our inconsistent defense that has me thinking there will be too many ups and downs. But even if all we get out of this season is a Europa League trophy, I'll still be over the moon.

I've had time to reflect on this.

Phew.

Mourinho, when speaking about his Porto team, said winning at Old Trafford in the CL was the 'click' the team needed to go on to win the competition - it was something that made them believe that they could do it. Similarly, winning against United in the opening game in his tenure at Chelsea boss was also a 'click', in his words - a moment to make the players believe that they could win the title that season.

This is his Tottenham 'click'. Forget the City game - we were absolutely battered in that game, and winning 3-1 in an injury-ravaged period was more of a nice bonus than a genuine 'turn the tide' moment. Forget the moments of brilliance after the lockdown - we were chasing 6th, and it all felt a bit too late for a real kick-off.

This game, though, arrives at a perfect, perfect time for us. And this result could not have arrived at a better time. After an indifferent start to the season, we went into one of the most gruelling weeks of our recent history.

And at the conclusion of it, all we're probably thinking is that we should have won the first game as well - because every other game was won.

A win against a Chelsea, a thumping of Maccabi, and then an absolute demolition of Manchester United at Old Trafford, to erase the pain of those conceded penalties, the unfairness of their VAR antics, the narrative around Mourinho being stale and us being behind them.

In a week where we were supposed to come out stumbling to stay alive, gasping for air, Mourinho has come out with us in absolutely mind-blowing, imperious form, having scored 7 and then 6. And think about what is yet to come - Bale getting his second debut, fit after the break. Reguilon getting settled in. Ndombele hopefully getting fit enough to not blow out his arse after 30m. Lo Celso coming back.

This is his 'click' at Spurs. There are holes in the side - most prominently at CB, where we have a genuine need to shore things up. And maybe something can be done about that in the closing moments of the window.

But if ever the players needed a moment to believe in Mourinho's ability to get us over the line, this is it.

Next up, West Ham, in their own moment of elation, having blown a couple of teams away. All of this means nothing if we lose after the break. But I don't think we will - I hope we won't. If I'm right, this is the marker we were waiting for.

Well, well worth waiting for.

F*ck off, United - back into your sodding holes. :p

I just want to enjoy that win without reading any more into it. There is so much of the season left and far tougher challenges ahead. Being in the Europa League is going to tire us towards the business end of the season.
 
Players starting to click... Even though Jose has been Chopping and changing. Good to see so many players involved and contributing under a well managed plan.

Not a bad performance on the pitch today which was refreshing.

Kane and Son look absolutely different class and the rest seem to know their jobs and the fringe are rising to challenge of threats to their roles.

Its great to see nd long may it continue

Watching the goals back, it’s obvious that United’s defensive coaching is shambolic. The position of defenders, the freedom afforded to Kane and Son, wow....great for us, but there’s a LOT of work needed for United.

When Kane scored, no one seemed to be near him. When Aurier scored, Luke Shaw was in the middle almost as if a centre back, whilst Pogba was the closest to Aurier, she didn’t add much.

Unless United invest in defenders AND improve their coaching, then I don’t even see them finishing top 6 this season.
