You referencing to a Spurs leg that Flamini is definitely going to try and snap?

Both those goals were ridiculous. Nasri's goal was even better than Toure's. Both of those were once in a season strikes.
Fuck yea another trophy

Don't get me wrong - I'm grateful for 3 points - but I'm getting tired of sweating out 1-0 home results against the Cardiffs of the world. Our attack appears to have no idea what it's doing. Same under Sherwood as it was under AVB. Rarely any success in transition, mostly just numbness and indecision leading to someone turning the ball back and waiting for everyone to arrive, after which we pass around the 18 with 10-11 opposition men behind it. The goal today was well-worked but it was the exception.
I don't care if we have 61% possession when we're fending off last-minute efforts from the Welsh side as they're pinging it around the box in the 93'. One goes in and we drop 2 points. We've scored 1 or fewer goals in 5 of our last 6 PL games for fuck's sake. Just like the start of the season.

It's brutal to watch - there just is no plan. Doesn't help that Sherwood keeps changing teams and formations every week, so we're starting from scratch each time.
That being said, 3 points after Europa League Thursday is an anomaly for Spurs. So that's a bright point.

Like I said, I'll take the 3 every day, it just doesn't lend any confidence going forward.
You're right in that there's no plan. I've love to see established outlets and positive ball-movers (Modric comes to mind). Could Tom Carroll have helped? More Eriksen? Dembele isn't being nearly as incisive as I'd like him to be. Townsend and Lennon were carrying the ball forward with purpose at times today but lacked nearly all semblance of an end game.

John Henry is not interested in the legalities of "contracts" and such.

Jordan Henderson went to the Capital One final to support his old club in the stands ... that's pretty damn cool.
