"I can't tell you how devastating going out in the carabao cup, and Champions League, and FA Cup, and dropping from top 4 is going to be for this club and its future."
Carabao Cup semifinals

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Yeah but you were acting like meh who cares.
It's not a big disaster but this was a great chance to get to a final and you've lost. It feels like you've fallen at the final hurdle a lot of times over the years, must be immensely frustrating.
I was waiting for this.
The cup matters and I'm not here acting as if our exit doesn't hurt or doesn't matter like you did. You practically celebrated it because 'one less competition to play!'.
I just found the post I quoted weird because the way we lost tonight wasn't embarrassing, we gave it a go and were beaten. There's no point crying about it, our injury issues were always going to make it a tough game.
Did Hazard just say: "I'don't care what manager say" ???
Giroud has a chance of winning his third trophy in 12 months and he's barely scored a fecking goal all year.
He's so lucky

Dier no gouda at penalties
That all hasn't happened though, has it?
We won't drop out of the top 4 this season. You can quote me on that.
We may get kicked out of the cups, I don't know.
What do people expect me to say about tonight? That i'm totally devastated? We gave it our best under difficult circumstances, we lost, it happens. The cup matters but isn't the end of the world, not because we're above it (we're clearly not) but because it's hardly a shock considering the team we were able to put out.
Fair play. The League Cup is just a footnote in the season anyway.
Hazard is a GOD. Says he doesn’t care what the manager says then gets the MotM award and says “thanks, one more” Oh my, I’ll miss him when he’s gone 
Oh my, I’ll miss him when he’s gone There's no guarantees . You're in the scrap and quite vulnerable with these injuries to fall behind. Was lucky with last minute winner against Fulham.
There’ll be plenty in the new stadium
I wasn't, I just thought the poster I quoted was overreacting to the defeat. 2-1 at the bridge and losing on penalties hurts, but I don't think it's a sign of any kind of collapse, nor does it undo a lot of progress we've made as a club in the last 5 or so years.
We have, and yes it is frustrating. I think there's definitely a certain mental block we have when it comes to trophies, which will only get worse the longer it goes on. Teams have had this in the past and generally get over it eventually but we'll see.
Tonight I have few complaints about the team. We came back in the 2nd half and got back in to the game despite missing all the players you'd expect to step up in that kind of situation. Most Spurs fans were not expecting much from tonight with the injury situation we had, a majority I know were predicting a defeat.
There are times when it's fair to rip in to the team because you feel the players have let you down, and other times where as a fan you have to accept your side has certain limitations. I don't feel like anybody gave any less than their best tonight and I don't think anybody is to blame. Of course I care about going out but it's not going to make me totally lose all sense of perspective.
well, this:
and maybe stop answering to every post from everybody who are fishing for Spurs fans to react. More you answer, more it is fun for everybody and they are having a laugh. You said everything in second tweet above. Stop biting. Guys are having a laugh. That's all. Don't be so touchy. Just what fans do. Tomorrow, hell, ih half an hour will be forgotten.
But you are more than welcom having a laugh tomorrow, at Arsenal expence, of course.
And they praised him for interview later, it that was Pogba.... wooshHazard is a GOD. Says he doesn’t care what the manager says then gets the MotM award and says “thanks, one more”
Shame Giroud didn't score at the end.
I was pleased with Emerson.
Hated Jorginho's pen, loved Azpi and Luiz's.
Wem Ber Lee!

I'm not bothered about replying, I'm winding down for the night and don't have anything better to do. I know it's what fans do, I'm not sat at my computer seething
.I thought you did well, considering the injuries you've got and that terrible first half. Spurs came back into it strongly, you were always going to struggle in a shootout missing so many attacking players.
It's obviously not a case of bottling.
There's been a lot of Spurs fans, not you, and Liverpool fans on here who seem to think they're above the League Cup and it's always baffled me. Look at the last few winners of it City, Chelsea, City, Utd, City and now one of City or Chelsea. It's a good trophy to win.
Not hiding behind sofa anymore? Good. Welcome back.
btw, love Jorginho's pen, never saw that before, it was interesting
Pretty much, I think we gave it our best shot and that's all I can ask for as a fan. Like you say, without key attacking players and our backup keeper playing, the shootout was always going to be tough.
We're definitely not above it and I've always criticised that attitude. Had we put out a second XI tonight or vs Arsenal in the quarters I would have been pissed off.
Wonder if Hazard wording his reply to the question about Sarri's comments like that was intended as such or due to him being awkward in English
Former members? What did I miss?
Haha just joking, implying that he left in disgrace after a certain 0-1 defeat
Thought Chelsea completely deserved the victory. They were hard done by the ref, Dier allowed to play hatchet man in the first half and the ref missed an incredibly obvious free kick just before half time right on the edge of the area.
Good for Sarri who was quite justified in criticising his players even though the media went overboard with him "losing the dressing room" because you can't criticise the players apparently.

That makes him... A GOD?Hazard is a GOD. Says he doesn’t care what the manager says then gets the MotM award and says “thanks, one more”
Very entertaining match, Spurs fought well despite their disadvantage (aided by the ref though) and Chelsea's offensive finally clicked again. In part I guess because Spurs didn't just sit back, and allowed Chelsea space in transition, but it also worked better against a low-lying defence than recently. Only real problem was chance conversion.
It was a bit ridiculous in the first half. I had to laugh when in the second, Atkinson gave Jorginho the first yellow of the game. Not that it was a wrong decision, but the lack of consistency in his judgement was impressive.
