Such a disappointing result, four in a row against those utter twats. Positive performance though.

Bastards. We’ve played worse and lost.

Well lads, there it is. Unai is some coach, but too many injuries in that defence have really destabilised the team. Let's go for fifth and the Conference League and hope England get that extra spot.

Not sure we'll be able to keep Spurs at bay.

Extra spot.

Not as it stands there isn't.

Ramsey was in the right position time and time again, I’m amazed he lasted as long as he did. His finishing let him down but it’s too be expected.

Watkins was in the right position time and time again, I’m amazed he lasted as long as he did. His finishing let him down but it’s too be expected.

How finishing letting him down is to be expected?

Most of us on here predicted this before the game. We where better than against Newcastle and Chelsea. we did show glimpses of our better selves today - on the positive side that is

There’s only one way down. We’ll finish 7th or 8th

We are just not allowed to win these games are we?....The officials see to that.
1st goal for them lot....it was not a free kick.
Then for me there was there an offside (1st phase) in the resulting free kick that was not contested or checked......the other way round and that would have been pulled to pieces for 2 or 3 mins by VAR.
TBH i can't keep up with the laws of the game anymore but the whole Premier League circus stinks of shit.
And as for sly sports coverage......meh at least Merson is there sticking up for us.

For some bizarre reason he decided to play for a draw against a team that we were 8 points ahead of.

Steady one. Lets not lose sight of the fact we haven;t had it this good since the mid 90s, ok

I’d concentrate on some of the more ridiculous comments on here at the moment 👍🏻 My first season ticket was under Graham Turner so I’ve seen many lows, I have perspective.

Emery saw to us not winning this game when he decided to take our best player and most potent attacking threat off.

The better team by a mile.

Our record $50M forward came on to replace Bailey, how is that settling for a point??

1 point off ‘title chasing’ Spurs in 4th & 5 points above the mighty Manchester United. We are struggling for consistency but Jesus fucking wept let’s not throw in the towel just yet.

UTFV!

When Bailey is playing this well -  by far and away our most dangerous and consistent threat this season - just don’t take him off FFS! Mind boggling substitution.

You don’t see Son / Salah etc being subbed during a home game when they’re on top and going for a win. Such a weird decision that in my opinion cost us the game. We looked like we were going to snatch a win until Bailey went off

Ramsey and Watkins were woeful.

Ramsey wasn’t.

Totally agree….especially good in the first half
