As for the word 'blip', it disgusts me. After last season, being neurotic is probably hard-wired into every Spurs fan's inner cortex, and yet people assure us that's just a blip. Same as last season. Just a blip, it's okay, we'll finish 3rd.....it's okay, we'll finish fourth....it's okay, Chelsea won't win the CL, our blip won't cost us.....
Our blip cost us.

Exactly tried, he should try in a game which we are winning by a margin. We were playing an aggressive team today and someone with a bite was needed.
He fudged up his first touch but he did not let that lower his head and he was the only one trying to be creative.
However I was screaming at Parker to stay back and let this lad go forward. He did not get enough of the ball because of this.
2 almost balls from Tom.
JD brought the only 2 saves.
We need creativity.

In fairness, let's leave Harry out of it mate...we've moved on with regards to him being a factor in discussions...agree that at times like this the squad looks thinner for sure. And yes, whilst I see what you're saying about Jenas, I think personally it's very important to have moved on from him. Agree on Townshend as an option for the last 15 mins of a game where we're desperate, but again, we should be moving on.
We missed our right-hand side today, no doubt about that at all. Made things easy for Fulham.
Again, let's see where we are in May mate. The last time I remember us losing two Prem games on the bounce, we came back to form. Admittedly this is a different situation, but I'm going to choose to keep faith (I know you will be too mate)...

And me! I told my family I will behave like buddha and not rage. Did not say a word. Its kind of nice and freeing, when you learn to accept things as they are

Last season wasn't a 'blip' it was half a season.
Carroll was man of the match. Only one who showed any brains. From a footballing perspective, we are an incredibly stupid side with the ball.

I was trying to make a point - the common denominator - if you want to call him that in Mr Levy.
I dont think our season is over but I do think today was a true test of the squad and we failed. Although I am perplexed as today half the team didnt play against Inter - so not sure if its fatigue of the few vital players we have and rely on to win, AVB fudging up or just an off day.
Because Dempsey is superior, clearly.

Chelsea just gone 2-0 up !pt a head of us with a game in hand, you have to laugh two games ago 3rd even 2nd looked possible, now my lord just winning another game this season would be nice.
Joking a side i think this break has come at a good time, lets regroup and go again, I think we will get 4th but we are just doing it the hard way. (the only way spurs know how)

I think this, more than anything, is down to a couple of important details.
1) Defoe is not the smartest with movement.
2) Parker AND Dembele together don't move the ball quickly or smartly enough.
Thus we lost any option for attack. Carroll was trying repeatedly to slip players in quickly, but he only got close to doing so when given the ball quickly and deep.
I would frankly consider dropping Parker to the bench. His workrate and endeavor are great but he slows things up massively, and when his sideways/backwards pass os to Moussa, the NEXT ball is going to be, well, a touch and dribble, it's rarely a quick pass forwards a la Luka...

Agree with some parts. Other than I will still be watching us till the end. I forgot Dempsey was even on the pitch. I have to say I do love coming on here, its whats gets me through the week. Everyone gives me such jokes......I really am trying the buddha approach people. We can only hope that we all of a sudden pick back up. And if we don't we don't. Really is that simple

How many people were calling it a 'blip'? As far as I recall, we were motoring along fine until the middle of February, when we imploded with all the grace of a swampy sinkhole, all the while people assuring the fans that it was just a 'blip'. Now, we've lost three in a row in the space of a week, in the middle of March. And apparently, we were at the same number of points last season at this stage, which, if we were truly doing better, shouldn't be the case.
Sigh. Steff, your positivity is appreciated, and you're probably right in your assertions that we shouldn't stop believing. But people need to blow off steam, and the match and ratings threads are the best place to do it. Any positivity in these threads immediately after a match like that looks like holier-than-thou, pig-headed obstinacy to the angry and bewildered patrons of this board, which I can attest to because that's how I'm tempted to look at your posts, even if I know you're right, deep down.
Give it time, mate.
