I'd say BT Sports are kicking themselves too.

ziedth

I can see us scraping a 2-1 win maybe a score draw. Part of me is kinda hoping for the latter and let Utd eek along in Tue EL next season.

Sugarlumps

Draw 2-2.

Devo from Dublin

I was thinking we'll win 3-1 away!!!!
But then i realised we are at home, i reckon we'll thump them 4-1.
Mad to think we've scored 8 in our last 2 games games and only got 4 points!!!
I think we'll score 3 or more goals in our last 4 games..
Deluded i know!!!

positivenote

Felix will have Fulham Firing... 1-2 loss. God knows what team will start

All of me is hoping for the latter, as hard as it is to see us lose, it is a necessary evil.

can you explain to me why ?
if its anything to do with qualifying for the Europa League, of which next seasons winners get in to the CL the following year, I cant see your point to be honest

Because we wont win the EL and will spend the whole time flying around europe and getting injuries and fatigue , thus impacting our premier league performances. This has happened every year we have been in the EL

Yeah, that's the thing, some team drops out of CL will win it. It's a curse and the whole format of it is wrong, wouldn't be too bad if it didn't get the dropouts. Getting out of the early stages is easy, then you're hit with some very good teams.

better chance than finishing 4th imho. Liverpool will oozing confidence, City and Chelsea will improve their squads, Utd will be looking to improve a lot, as will Everton and Arsenal. Next season will also be a period of transition (yawn) with a new manager for us, so the EL could be our back door into the CL.

this is true but we just arent good enough to win the EL. We are way off the pace this year and i dont see next season being any better.

I have had enough of that complete and utter sh1te. I don't think the players want it either( I'm guessing here), playing mostly crap teams in the early round. It is a major hindrance to a top four finish imo. Would prefer to see us put all our efforts into the league and maybe the FA cup.

2nd Row Donkey

Think we'll something similar to last week. Fulham to take the lead a couple of times in the game and we come back into it. Or perhaps in reverse with us scoring a few sloppy goals and then letting them back into it. 2-2 or 3-2 to us.

id rather we try and win any cup we are entered into. Personally Id rather win the Euro League than finish in the top 4. both get CL qualification except you dont get the joy of lifting trophy for finishing 2,3 or 4th.

Lightbulb Sun

Team: Lloris, Naughton, Kaboul, Fryers, Rose; Lennon, Chadli, Paulinho, Eriksen; Adebayor, Kane.

Subs: Friedel, Chiriches, Bentaleb, Dembele, Sigurdsson, Townsend, Soldado

Hatch99

Chadli in the middle of the park again

Leinstersqspur

Sandro just tweeted that he's not injured. Doesn't make the squad. Tim?

MrKingsley

Jesus christ that defence makes me want to cry. In the middle it doesnt get any better either really.

Im scared

irishmover

Bit of an odd starting 11. Very poor defence and no cover infront of the back four. Even Fulham should score handy.

fcuking joke

Kiith

How do you not play Sandro? He's been one of our best players over the last two years.

tippspur

20 mins into the game and we haven't conceded a goal,big improvement today.

what could he possibly have against sandro. Sandro always gives 100% and always always busts a gut - hope levy has a chat with sandro in the quiet and tells him to be patient

irishmover

Perfect free kick.

irishmover

And there's the perfect defence. Sidwell of all people.

Hammar

What the f**k was Fryers doing for the Fulham goal??

tippspur

Yet another fcuk up,Fryers passed the ball to Sidwell

irishmover

Can someone explain why fryers is ahead of Chiriches?

I'm looking forward to seeing the back of Sherwood. Definition of a pretender right there.

What he doing on the pitch in the first place? Whats he been doing for the whole half?

Vlad should have got the chance to redeem himself today,Fryers is no CB.

tippspur

There's a lot of empty seats at the Lane today.

no wonder, season is over and the manager is clueless. He seems determined to play reserves, whether or not they are good enough. very odd chap

davycc

what a poor show show hurts to see this shockingly poor attempt at a team today :mad:- timmay taking the mickey trying to fook us over as he knows he is gone next month?

only upside is fulham may avoid relegation and we may avoid EL

irishmover

Delighted for Kane. Deserving his spot in the starting lineup.

tippspur

Great cross and a great header from Kane !!

irishmover

Eriksens deadball ability is unreal.

tippspur

Great ball in from Eriksen again.....

irishmover

I think everyone needs to accept the fact that we'll be playing EL next season.

I have no problem with that.

3 unwanted points in the bag- i would have been delighted for soldado had that free kick went in.

positives-lorris kane and eriksen outstanding

davycc

eriksen 5assists in 5 games?

3 unwanted points in the bag? As a spurs supporter I like to see us get as many points as possible!
We should be looking to finish as high up the table as possible even if that means we'll finish in the Europa league places. If we're not good enough to win the Europa league then were not gonna do much in the champions league are we? Lets do as well as we can in the Europa league next season,try and win it and if we do we have a trophy and qualification for the following seasons champions league.

upstairs for coffee

Fulham fan here.

Thought the first half Fulham were superior. Second half Spurs stepped out of 3rd gear and Fulham looked like they needed a few red bulls, they had no energy at all. Thought 3 - 1 flattered Spurs but Fulham are abysmal at defending.

Frustrating result, felt Spurs were there for the taking.

yea shame as i would have liked to give fulham 3pts closer to staying up for parker and duffs sake if nothing else- we are there for the taking and erratic in most games under timmay. that first 11 and the bench were beyond a joke. sidwell finished his goal well after he walked through our non defence. but i never doubted lorris would save his peno , i could feel it in my bones:)

i take your point but no thanks the el is not worthy of our effort . we need a full season out of it for the players and the new manager when he comes this summer.. sunday fixtures are sh1te- we need a full season of sat 3pm kickoffs with no thurs night in albania footy

same ol sh1te

Did Tim say Sandro wasn't good enough to make the team? Get this asshole away from our club before he turns our players against us
