    Bad luck and not enough produced in the big games is my guess. That unlucky loss to City turned the screw and the derby defeat to Arsenal was a real nail in the coffin.

    Still 2 minutes plus stoppage. Let's just hope you didn't have it backwards.

    Start by getting rid of Adebayor. That guy is good, but he's also lazy and can be a divisive figure in the dressing room.

    Newcastle level on points, Arsenal up by 2, Chelsea back 3 with a game today. Fourth is going to be incredibly difficult.

    The death spiral continues. That was just sickening to watch. You could see the second goal coming - two defenders there, neither one stepped to the guy with the ball. I guess everyone decided they like the Europa league better.

    Even more reason for Dempsey to do a hat-trick.

    It's not just a 'this year' problem.

    Momentum counts for a lot and this has been a very bad period for that, but there is still about 13% of the season and only favorable fixtures left. Its not the time to despair yet. Besides, before the year started (or even after the first two games) what would you have said if someone told you that Spurs would be even on points in 4th with 5 games remaining? I know I would have taken it.

    Today would have been a perfect time to rest some players but since Spurs are so desperate for points they could not afford to do that..I don't think Spurs will finish third now but i still feel that they will hold on for fourth..Confidence and form of there best players is lacking right now..One big win against Chelsea can change all that and Spurs have the quality to do it..Need a bit of a luck to go there way as they certainly have had alot of calls and bad breaks go against them lately..

    I need to look no further than the fact that people were leaving before stoppage time. Stoppage time! Against freakin Norwich!

    We deserved to lose today. Norwich wanted it more than any of the bums we trotted out there did.

    Gahh!!!! I cannot believe what I am reading... GAHHH!!!!!

    We don't deserve to be in "champions" league if we can't beat Norwich at home.

    Sorry.

    Don't deserve it.

    Harry to England, Modric and Bale to greener pastures. We may not even be in the running in 2012/13.

    GAHHH!!!!

    This is just heartbreaking. I am on an Easter holiday and the last thing I want is see is Spur losing the last 5 league games after having a decent beginning to the season.

    I think Spurs would be all right if they got rid of Rebrov, Mendes, and Gilberto...oh, wait...

    I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that we are staring down the barrel of a 2nd guileless collapse down the stretch in as many seasons, both of which will lose us a Champions League spot (though this year's will be worse).

    Obviously there are many factors and many fingers to point, but at the end of the day, when a team is consistently found wanting when it truly matters, one responsible party stands above the rest.

    Good riddance, Harry.

    Long way to go in the CL race, although would be good if Harry and his staff could put a bit of effort in to their tactics and team selection, rather than daydreaming of managing England. A bit of renewed effort and focus from the management might rub off on the players.
