Spurs looked poor again despite the win. Talk of a title challenge looks way off the mark.
Premier League Gameweek 6

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Behind Drogba and Lampard
They currently are, but I think post December they'll be out of it and focusing more on Europe.
Southampton won there in the only other home game they've played.
Actually think they might be a bit of a Bournemouth this year, hit the wall with their style and get relegated.
This season is very open. We need to get a grip and try and put a solid run together and see where we are at Christmas.
They'll win a few of the home games I suspect. They did beat Arsenal, Leicester and Man. City at home in second half of last season so their home form was good in the end and will surely balance out this season before too long.
What will stop them challenging for the league though is imo Mourinho playing for too many draws at difficult away venues e.g. Man. City, Chelsea etc.
Like we played for a draw against Utd you mean?
They should be top.
4 points dropped with the last kick of the there 2 games.
Once Bale gets fit and a couple of signings in January, you just never know.
I hate Lamela too
.Was it only 1-2 when Martial red happened? Doubt you'd have got close to wracking up that score playing 11 men but of course very good win.
When he last won the league with Chelsea in 14/15 he was parking the bus at likes of Emirates and grabbing a 0-0 so don't see why he'd change a habit of a lifetime especially with the counter attack quality you have.
Difference is Chelsea barely dropped a point at home that season so already under pressure to start winning regularly at home as teams can't really win the league with less than 15 home wins (Liverpool already 3/3 at Anfield).
Your stupid club won the "beat man utd with a score" title, congrats, enjoy it cause it will be the only trophy you get in another 50 years.
Again?
Easily our worst game of the season, but I think we’ve been good in every other game so far bar that last 10 minutes against West Ham.
Edit: Oh and Everton which I’d actually forgotten already tbh.
Duby do
tbf the Dier hand ball was an absolutely scandalous decision, Spurs totally dominated that game, Newcastle were only in the game because of an absolute worldy of a performance from their GK.
But on the other hand Hammers was one of the worst bottle jobs I have ever seen, at three nil up just need to control the game. Even if you defend resolutely, it is the PL, a late goal can happen. But three late goals? Woeful defending.
And here is the problem for Spurs, their attack is probably good enough to win the league, but their defence is mid table.
Grow up.
Well yeah Everton is the most important one so far I think. You'd be facing sides of that quality on a weekly basis from December and they were deserved winners in that game.
Everton were very good that day and we were awful. I think we have been much better since then though and with a bit more luck probably could be topping the table tonight.
For sure but I think some of that was being the first game of the season and having a lot of attention being paid to qualifying for Europe in a really hectic schedule period to start a season.
I think overall we’ve grown since that game and the subsequent games show it.
Son and Kane have been excellent and scoring nearly every chance they've had but i'm not convinced beyond them two you've been that good. Southampton was a far more even game than the scoreline suggested.
Kane and Son have really a brilliant partnership
I find it sad that supporters of other clubs post here, there must be a void Spurs fans specifically want to fill, the lack of trophies maybe
.Oh come on its only a bit of banter mate.I find it sad that supporters of other clubs post here, there must be a void Spurs fans specifically want to fill, the lack of trophies maybe
Son & Kane replicating Suarez & Sturridge?
Dry your eyes.I find it sad that supporters of other clubs post here, there must be a void Spurs fans specifically want to fill, the lack of trophies maybe
It’s an open forum for supporters of all clubs. No need to be anti-social about it.
Yeah , the score was 6-1 when Martial was sent off .
Jeez , Spurs fans are really a bunch!
Which midfielder is slipping against us?
Winks.
Did Spurs win the league? What happened??
I thought Liverpool fans were the worst on here but they actually have reasons to be arrogant since they win stuff. Spurs fans take the biscuit though. Handful of wins and they start swinging their dicks before inevitably going back into hiding when it falls apart.
We are going through our worst period in generations over the last decade and we've still been more successful than you useless cnuts.

Nope. Apparently we aren't allowed to be happy we won a game though or have a bit of banter with it.
jesus Christ. Major humour bypass for a few of you in here. Get over yourself.Agreed. It's just a forum where we talk light-heartedly. Some people really need to get over their preciousness.
Bit touchy in this thread I don't think the Spurs fans are even that bad, probably helps there's only about 3 of them mind.
I don't think the Spurs fans are even that bad, probably helps there's only about 3 of them mind.I think Spurs are fine. Even at our best (several years ago), we struggled against teams that parked the bus.
This thread is at least more entertaining than the recent PL games.
Spurs are a solid outfit, especially with Jose being manager. Just like under Poch, they were a difficult team to play against because they pressed and defended well, but they didn't exactly become a free scoring team.
Under Jose, they have very committed players at the back and in the middle. They may not run around as much or press as long/hard, but when you transition and attack with Son and Kane, you're going to have a chance with those two match winners.
Hey they should be, limited resources, seems a good club and I can see how they would take great enjoyment beating clubs with "superstars".... but yeah grim viewing. Could easily have seen Bale getting a rattle or two if he had of made an appearance.Their fans are definitely content with that I believe, considering the resources available, so I don't think I would have enjoyed the sport at all if I had supported such team.
Too understand. It will be Ndombele, who then proceeds to get the biggest public lynching ever seen by Mourinho.
