Spurs seemed to sit back all half just inviting Palace forward and then inevitably they scored. Spurs then spent the last 10-15 minutes absolutely dominating the game and could've won it at the end.
Why not just play like that in the second half and try to go 2-0 up instead of sitting back?
Guaita made some amazing saves though.
so f'ing frustrating to watch! Really dont know why we keep dropping off for long periods. But hey.

Mourinho way isn't it. Brings good results generally against the bigger clubs but games like today it's not necessary.

It's funny how results can seem worse or better after everyone else has played, as Spurs have ended the weekend still top of the table with THE big story being Arsenal rather than them throwing away 2 points
It’s all set up for the year ends in one cnuts to win it the one time I want the scousers to succeed and they fuck it up against Fulham they might as well hand the trophy over on Wednesday if those taxi driver twunts win

Allow me to allay your fears oohah and say it again but Spurs will not win the PL because of their complete and utter reliance on Kane and Son - those two have between them a "ridiculous" 19 goals and 14 assists. The whole of the rest of the squad have 5 goals and 6 assists in total and not one other player has scored more than one goal in the PL. It isn't just their incredible stats - it's the fact that they bring so much more to Spurs specifically in the way that the team is set up. We still have more than two thirds of the season to go and Kane and Son will not be able to play every match - so who is going to step up and replace them?
Equally, as good as Mourinho is at "parking the bus", very often, as we found on Saturday, against the lesser sides, you have to let the hand brake off to guarantee 3 points. Is Mourinho prepared to do that? Spurs next two games against Liverpool and Leicester will tell us even more and it will be interesting to see how Mourinho approaches the two different challenges.
City appear to have been written off by many because they aren't playing their usual brand of football and due to their poor scoring record this season. At some point though, Sterling, a fit Aguero, Mahrez etc etc will click. No one has actually highlighted the fact that they have sorted out their achilles heel i.e. their defensive frailties with 9 clean sheets in the last 11 games and only 6 goals conceded in their previous 16 matches.
They win their game in hand against Villa and they are 3 points off the top with 26 games to go. City are still very short and you can lay them on Betfair at 2.9 so it's not exactly going to cost a Queen's ransom to do so. Personally, I wouldn't back or lay them but if you offered me a straight coin toss on them and Spurs I would hope it would land in favour of City all day long!

I have a sniper positioned outside their training ground now, just hope he’s as accurate as them two and takes one or both out at some point this season .
For the record , I’ve watched that Spurs Amazon thingy and really enjoyed it , it broke me cos I wanted to hate them more but I liked the passion shown by the Spurs players and especially Lloris I always thought he had no personality but I like the way he fired the team up pre match . until his miserableness at Man U I’d always liked Mourinho and he comes across well . another thing having a real shit near time memory and having avoided quite a lot of prem matches in recent years due to Liverpool’s success and palace still being up there i watched the documentary not knowing the scores or outcomes which made it a bit more exciting .
Highlight of AFTV last night was Ty (the one who always dresses head to toe in Arsenal merchandise) losing it and saying that he'd bet Roy Keane 1k that Arsenal wouldn't be relegated.
The irony of the fact that it's Arsenal and you're even talking about relegation was completely lost on him.
Southampton Everton Man City (League Cup) Chelsea...
Ouch!
Football is a funny old game though. I remember everyone saying West Ham were going to have tough start to the session due to a difficult start, yet they're flying.

And you are indeed correct. Have been well impressed with West Ham, they're actually playing some nice football and getting results. Have rode their luck a couple of times but you make your own luck. Might be the season they finally crack the top 6.
For all the mickey taking out of Arsenal, it can turn around quickly...as we all know full well! Will enjoy it game by game while it lasts.

They could be right in the shit considering their games over the next few weeks also. No chance of them being relegated obviously but I don't think a bottom half finish is unreasonable.
Werner is such a strange footballer. Sometimes looks World Class, other times a total passenger.
Don’t think he was a bad but for Chelsea but he could do with finding some consistency.
strange game tonight, 1t half all the players were sleepwalking and it's taken a goal to wake them all up .. Werner is a bit of a sulker when things don't go his way .. Chelsea look a poor side for top of the table

Tuesday 12th/Wednesday 13th January 2016:
Newcastle 3 Man Utd 3
Chelsea 2 WBA 2
Man City 0 Everton 0
Liverpool 3 Arsenal 3
Spurs 0 Leicester 1
I think Liverpool might now actually have more injuries than us.
until his miserableness at Man U I’d always liked Mourinho and he comes across well .
another thing having a real shit near time memory and having avoided quite a lot of prem matches in recent years due to Liverpool’s success and palace still being up there i watched the documentary not knowing the scores or outcomes which made it a bit more exciting .

Even Robbie the host called him embarrassing.
