just seen joses interview, whenever chelsea beat someone he always says the other team did well. but when they lose its the refs fault. he never once said spurs done well. the man has no class whatsoever.

The man has tunnel vision abit like Arsene. I would of sent him to the stands he carries on and on at officials. glad we stuck it to them about time. Time to push on. COYS

Come on though you have to say you enjoyed that interview?

I think it was a mistake on his part to go down that line. It really weakened him on the mind games. Even if it should have been a penalty (with the inconsistency this season I have given up trying to work out what is and is not counted), nobody is buying that if they had got a second we would not have got any of our 5.

So rather than just saying "it was one of those days" or chalking it up to tiredness (like LVG has been doing), he showed the whole world how much that loss hurt him. He showed how bitter he was about it.

For a man that prides himself on mental strength, that was a sign of weakness.

When Mourinho asked the reporter what his opinion was and then said that his opinion matters too Mourinho looked like a desperate old man.

The amount of penalties we have been denied for years now is a lot more than Chelsea.

Well done lads fantastic display and super Harry on fire.
Merson was right though. 3 point lane! Ha ha

Please stand up all those who posted here last year that Harry Kane was not good enough to play for Spurs. I would now worry about the big Clubs coming in for him. He has been simply brilliant.

I am willing to apologise a bit about it! He has proved me very wrong so far, let's see at the end of the season 😱

Pauli, I said he would come good and there's a lot more to come too. He epitomises everything us fans want, a local lad playing for his team putting in maximum effort and has bags of talent.

I'll admit I didn't think he'd make it. His first touch was poor and his finishing was on a par with Torres.

I'll also admit right now he is leading this team with his commitment and greatly increased ability, wether from training or confidence doesn't matter. Kane has stepped his game to a level I for one didn't think he had.

One swallow doesn't make a summer! I will however hold my hands up should this continue over more than one season.

I have to say his performances of late have exceeded my expectations, I honestly didn't think he would produce like he has week in week out, he strikes the ball a lot better than I first thought
Let's just hope he doesn't burn out. Full credit to the lad.

I'm happy to hold my hands up and say I was amongst the hoards not wanting Kane. I must admit, I'm still desperate for soldier to start and score and I look for his name on each team sheet. Never happens I know. After just watching MOTD, I will say, Harry Kane, take a bow son. Spurs player. Spurs fan. Spurs legend.(today's game will be remembered)First 3 names on MRP!s
team sheet. Lloris. Kane. Erikson. no doubt about that now.

Ive always championed harry, and would be happy to admit it even if he didn't make it at spurs.

I remember commenting on his ability during a pre seaon at mk which thfc won 5/2, three yrs ago.

why some of u still doubt him I don't understand.swallow your pride and admire the young lads talents, ability, desire and workrate.

Bucks, maybe before yes, but I don't read anyone doubting him now on this thread.

Fair play Davo. I too thought that it was a season too early for Kane, but he has proved us and a lot of people wrong and long may it continue.

It's at the point where we are now thinking about signing a second striker to back him up rather than the other way around.

It's nice to see the team starting to gel together as well. I thought our passing over the last couple of weeks was far more purposeful than it has been for a couple of years. Hopefully that continues and the chemistry continues to build.

Well, I did make a bet about Kane thinking my money is safe, but fair play to him, he is proving me very wrong . So much so, I want to keep knocking him so that he tries even harder!!

Can't get to game today but just seen team! Why is Rose playing? A complete liability but Mopo persists with him! Also no Lamela, not even on the bench, is he injured! We are now playing with townsend on the right, meaning he is going to keep coming in and blocking the space needed by Eriksen . Why can't we buy a right winger, that can get to the byeline and cross the ball, instead of keep cutting inside and shooting on site?

I would have put Lennon on today, with a bit of luck an Italian club may pay £30m for Lamela.

The results have been good for us today, so being a Spurs fan we know what's going to happen.

I hope the boys prove me wrong I really do. COYS

4-1 after 55 mins. am I dreaming from all the New Year beers?

I know my last post hasn't come through yet but 5-2 after 74 mins.

COYS

Glory glory tottenham hotspur!

Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur.

I don't know where that performance came from, but I'll take that and a few more like it please.

Absolute class the boys were.!

Kane strikes the ball so well, his hold play is quality. Chadli also played out his skin.

Couldn't have asked for anymore.

Also just my opinion we always look a better team when Lamela isn't on the pitch.

if u watch the game again,watch bentalebs performance.u might all be surprised at how well he played.

Im not sure anyone had a bad game today.the team performed well as a team, some (Kane, Chadli) shone better than others, but the overall commitment and fitness won the game after going 1 down.

I don't get any Bentaleb criticism to be honest. He has a specific role in the team and does it well considering his age. He plays for the badge.

Reason rose started fresher legs to try and keep up with the pace of hazard as I couldn't see davies keeping up with him. Fazio again mix bag did well in the air made some saving tackles but cost us a goal by trying to play the ball out like he did. January will be an interesting month will we see some comings and goings?

And Rose was rseponsible for the first goal. Looking to the line assistant twice giving Hazad the space to go by him. Then as the ball came back in he made a half hearted attempt to get in front of Costa, a little more effort and he could have cut that ball out.
