I mean we took the piss out of 2 clubs who are above us by several points. There is a team here capable of so much more and ownership/directors recognize that, despite the injuries.

I've been Poch Out for a while. Just so frustrated by the lack of progress but I honestly think the Arsenal fiasco has hit the players hard, maybe more of them get it now, you don't get anything you haven't earned in this league

 
Well done, boys! Good performance and very positive attitude from everyone. Make it a benchmark to further improve your game. Glimpse of hope makes me happy.

Didn't look happy did he?

No, and couldn't deal with simple questions. Is he a one trick pony who has found the step up too much or can he turn it around? I reckon the pressure might get to him and he'll be gone.

 
Probably the best performance of the season, and glad we saved it for the Spurs. We just controlled almost all aspects of the game, didn't even give them many chances on the counter. Their insane high line defending obviously played into our hands, and unlike last time we made good use of them. Ideally, we'd be 3 up by HT given those chances, but they never looked like scoring. I'd be happy if the season ends tonight on a high, I'm sure we will suffer a couple of games in weeks to come. VAR didn't have a say in the result, but they absolutely tried on the first goal 🤫

I personally thought the Everton win and the FA cup game against Villa was better. The game against Arsenal earlier in the season and the two draws against City were better too. We defended well today, but I thought we were really poor on the attack. Everything kept breaking down when all it needed was one composed pass to break Tottenham's high line. It helped that Tottenham were terrible too, they should have scored from at least 3 chances today.

I thought that the game reflected very much the quality of both teams, not that good, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the game and beating them. A routine win against Spurs, as we appear to get 6 points from them almost every season no matter how bad we are. Great atmosphere too, as expected. I hope that we can replicate both, score and atmosphere on Sunday, but West Ham is a trickier team.

 
Great result and a very professional performance by the lads.

Despite the frustration of this season, doing the double over Spurs is a major highlight.

Hopefully we kick on now and finish the season off strongly.

He must have forgotten the season before? Or 2015/16? 

Anyway, we have displayed clear improvement as the season's progressed. While other members here would know more regarding why, it seems that Pochettino has them playing as a more cohesive unit. 

Liverpool were in the same boat in 2015, and while Poch is no Klopp, he's a very good (not great) manager, and professional enough to oversee the game against his old club without looking like a traitor. 

The only downside are the FFP ghosts. I can't see how points aren't declined from us right now, and that will discourage some players. The more ambitious ones won't want to stay outside of European football for long, even if Chelsea is a big name. The bright side of having a young team, is that young team grows old together and becomes more loyal to each other and the club. Career considerations become secondary for many of them. 

 
I always get so nervous when we play that lot. I kicked and headed every ball during the game.😀

I know, I know at my age I should know better,but I don’t!😀😀

Anyway.

Always good to beat Spuds and especially good to keep a clean sheet.

 The defence did its job. Cucurella and Chalobah both had very decent performances.

Caceido now showing he is a player and it looks like him and Gallagher have begun to develop an understanding.

One out worst in the PL era, in view of the level of investment and expectation. Regardless of on field performances, the atmosphere and rhetoric around the club has been the worst I have known for a number of years.

And certainly defensively its one of our poorest seasone with some of the unwanted records we've picked up.
