Typical... First match at the new stadium and we put in that performance. We looked absolutely shattered and had no creativity.

Llorente is a very limited footballer, then Janssen missed the sitter at the end .

Spurs have 10 points from their last 10 games, what the hell has happened to them?

I think most predicted this when they didn't sign anyone in the summer and didn't give their main players a rest. Poor management by Poch to be honest and how they are still in the race for a top four finish is mad.

All over the world...
And don’t forget they constantly rush Kane back from an injury. Poch was saying that Kane could be fit for the CL final, if they get that far.

But it’s amazing that how utterly useless arsenal, Chelsea and Utd are in the race for top 4. Us losing twice in successive weeks to teams we should have spanked on all honesty. Then Spuds come along and keep giving us, Chelsea and Utd lifelines.

It’s like a race to figure who is the worst team to get the last 2 spots lol.

Every one said this would happen to spurs. Didn't strengthen there team which meant the main 11 would always have to play which would at some point result in this.

Spurs also have zero quality back up for kane but thats been same for multiple seasons

Spurs still highly likely to make top 4 but they really could have done without that result today. A win today would have probably meant they could have given a few players the day off next weekend and been able to rest players for the 2nd leg of the semi. The importance of guaranteeing CL for next year means they can't take any chances next weekend now.

Oh definitely with that new stadium, don't want to be missing out on the Champions League. As much as I like Son, Kane is still quality they can not really afford to do without in games like these.

Regardless of who wins the Premiership and who gets top 4, Wolves and their manager have got to be up there for team and manager of the season. To think they were only promoted last season and could end up being the best of the rest is a fantastic achievement for them.

They've absolutely done well and they're reaping the rewards of a couple of seasons of big investment and some smart transfers. I didn't realise until people started talking about how well they've done but their net spend is nearly £100million over 2 seasons, which is huge for a club of their stature. If that level of investment continues you can only assume the ownership is expecting to break into the top 6 going forwards.

The team they have now is what they had in the Championship, that’s how much they dominated last season. A lot of people expected this as no one past top 6 are that good really.

Then they added Adama, Jiminez, Patricio and Jonny all for 100m odd.

Oh dear. Cardiff losing to Fulham with 3 mins to go. This was the one game where they were most likely to picks up points.

Edit: Well that is Cardiff surely doomed after losing to Fulham. They'll need to beat either Crystal Palace or Man Utd and draw against the other.
