Truly dreadful second half. We shouldn't forget we should have taken the lead so who knows how things would have gone after that.

Still a chance of top 4 because our rivals don't look much better. Chelsea have made themselves uncatchable now though.

What makes the disallowed goal worse, is watch Tiagos hand as he makes the run for his goal. How is one a fiul and not the other.

Imagine if Jose or Nuno sent that team out😬

Should’ve had a go at them from the start - but every one of our players is inferior to theirs (bar Kane) so I suppose you can’t

Despite today we are still in a good position in table.

Haven't really had a look at the Premier league table properly this season. Just see Spurs usually are hovering aroundabout the 7th/8th position, and seemingly miles of the top two or three. Only after the Leicester win did I take a closer look, and see that remarkably despite the Prem season being a bit of write off, Spurs, if they were to win all their games in hand, then they would be within touching distance points of the all conquering Liverpool and Chelsea. How costly could the failure to beat 10 man Southampton be?

Spurs had a very poor September losing three games on the spin, but other than that have been reasonably consistent. Amazing really how constant negativity, myself included, goes to paint a picture that does not really show where Spurs are at. I had them down for 6th at best, but just maybe they can really put it in from now until the end of the season, and prove me and lots of others wrong.

Spurs just maybe are doing a tad better than most of us give them credit for, considering all the upheaval of injuries, managerial changes, the Kane saga etc, etc.

I think I am starting to get my positivity back, performances seem to be improving, so many chances now being created, players that I had written off seem to be rising to the challenge. So maybe Conte is working his magic. Nine Prem games unbeaten, back to back away wins. Just think what two or three new signings could do to this squad.

Amazing what a few weeks can do to football fans, from pessimism to optimism, something to build on going forward. Hopefully get a few of the injured players back, and give the second half of the season a real go.

We're going to win all our remaining games and overhaul City

After his 1st league defeat I hope Conte is going straight to Levy's/Paratici's door and not leaving until they agree to his demands.

It was a really soft decision, but they are the sort of things VAR won't go against the ref on. If there is any bit of contact they just give the ref the benefit of the doubt that he knows what he's doing.

If we had drawn that game I'd have believed we could catch them. Not anymore. 11 points means we have to win the equivalent of all 4 games in hand and we don't look capable.

Every single player in every position in Chelsea’s side, bar Lukaku, is better than ours.

Didn't I read somewhere that Spurs have a huge allowance under FFP that would allow them to spend a fair bit?

I get Levy's a businessman but surely the new manager deserves to get who he wants

Dr Tottenham is back in business after being on leave.

Aye will be tough but so many teams are dropping random points bar maybe City and Pool to an extent, any team that could put 4-5 wins on the bounce together will help them no end

He hasn't and I'm a pessimistic cant but I'm not giving up just yet. Win the game in hand and beat City at the etihad and the gap is 3.

Although this is also assuming we match them results wise between now and then
