It seems a Just Stop Trying activist had succeeded in getting into the visitors' dressing room at Newcastle and unsettled them.  Cops moved quickly to remove him  |

Perhaps Spurs are deliberately playing badly so that ServerKing can fill the thread with loads of comical pictures! No team are quite as good as Tottenham in bottling. It's a shame there isn't a trophy for 'best bottlers' as Spurs would win that by a country mile. |

I mean I've seen some matches in my time but this Spurs match is something else. They really got wiped away within 20 minutes. Thrashed like a Streetlite on the 232. Very commonplace with an interim coach who resembles Gargamel from the Smurfs... the squad can't stop laughing when he's telling them at the start of each match to get out there and win  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 5 GOALS in 20 minutes that is shambolic to the highest order. I remembered when Liverpool did that to us in 2014 and I got grilled for ages because of that. It could have been even more had they (Newcastle) not showed mercy |

It could have been even more had they (Newcastle) not showed mercy 5 goals in 20 minutes is 1 per 4 minutes equating to around 23 in the whole game (including stoppage time) if Newcastle kept going at the same place. When Newcastle scored 5 I thought they would make doubles digits. The game reminds me of the final game of the 2015/16 season. Spurs had already handed the title to Leicester but bottled it to finish below Arsenal on the final day of the season by losing to already relegated Newcastle 5-1 |

Spurs owner Daniel Levy apparently fled via the tunnel straight after the game, quite ironic after his lecture at Cambridge Uni about how Arsenal's success was making him "feel sick". He makes us all feel unwell having retained players that should have been shown the door years ago. Danjuma's seen as much action at Tottenham since he's arrived as ENR1, Dier's been there for years lkke he's waiting for some sort of lifetime service award, Richarlison has yet to score despite costing more than £60m, Romero fouls more than the pigeons under the bridge at Finsbury Park station, and Lord knows why Kane is still hanging around. Perhaps the fans, like the players will stop turning up for games |

I mean I've seen some matches in my time but this Spurs match is something else. They really got wiped away within 20 minutes. Unless Brighton have a complete meltdown after their FA cup run, Spurs have thrown away the chance to play European football next season. Brighton have 3 games in hand, only 4 points behind, and have 10 better goal difference. |

I'm even getting Liverpool fans thinking they have a slim chance to get in and I'm looking at them like that ship for this season has sailed. They need to rely on teams above to fail massively in order for them to sneak in. |

Can I get a definition of 'bottling it'? If it means choking when you are in a good position then please give me examples of why Tottenham are known for that? I expected Tottenham to lose at Newcastle as they dont have a manager and you never change a known formation prior to a big game. Tottenham were in no position to bottle anything (and they generally aren't). Also Newcastle are just a better team and I expect them to beat Arsenal in their next home game too.
If Arsenal lose the title (by dropping points to Lesser teams) and they lost top 4 last season, that seems like a couple of bottle jobs for me. Or anytime in the Pep era that City have got knocked out of CL in comical fashion.
Are we going back to that lasagne gate at West Ham when Spurs players were sick and they missed out?

It's good you asked this question. The 15/16 springs into mind when Leicester won the league. May 2nd 2016 Spurs needed to win that match in order to keep up the pace with Leicester. Only problem was this. That game was at Stamford Bridge, a place where Tottenham hadn't won since 1990 (record broken in 2018). So they had their work cut out for them at that point. They drew and Leicester became champions, from that moment they lost their last few matches, thus allowing Arsenal to sneak up on them to take second place on May 15th 2016. That's one example of them bottling. Another example was 12/13 where Tottenham beat Sunderland 1-0 with Bale getting the strike only for the folks to find that their neighbours was also playing Sunderland's rivals up North and also won their match. |

Probably no great surprise, even talk of Harry Redknapp until the end of the season..

Probably where Tottenham lose or draw against teams that they shouldn't be like against Bournemouth especially if they were initially leading |
