0-0 away from home against a club that has beaten more times in the Premier League than they have against any other team.
Unbeaten in 5
7th in the league
And it's still about 90% moaning, whinging and throwing toys outta ya prams...

I know. What do people want? Come one everyone, let's have a bit more positivity, big week ahead!

Have to agree with you, mate, I really think some want us to fail, just to crow I told you so.

Plenty of positives yesterday. Moyes prezzer afterwards probably told you about why there was fear in the players. He said he reminded them that they would be up for the fight and come at us, and that it was these that knocked us out of Europe. After the first 20 mins, we finally broke away from that fear and started to play.
So much to play for this season, and we've got a team ready for the top half of this table.
I think we've got every chance of a cup and Europe. When was the last time you could actually think like that?
I remember a few years ago, not sleeping for three nights before a Palace game and a Bournemouth game due to being petrified of the consequences of our next game if we didn't win!

I seem to remember we didn't turn up to the game against Spurs last year. Would hardly say they knocked us out of Europe. Plus we finished 4 points behind European places.
The frustration is down to not beating a team who were for the taking, given they are struggling to score a goal. Sad thing is, so are we!
It's alright saying people are moaning, but it's games like these that can decide whether you finish 13th or much higher up the table.
We were under the cosh a lot yesterday, and we seem to set up for a draw. No harm in wanting all three points and forward momentum going into the next game.

Don't think it's been a bad start at all, but some perspective, we are what, 4 games in? Will judge us by Xmas time, the lack of full back options and strikers puts the fear in me!

Hang on, before this game everyone was saying how crap Spurs were and that we would batter them. Now for some reason it's a good result.
We sat back and gave them the ball, very similar to what we did last season. Had we shown a little more ambition from the off, we could have won the game.
Instead, we sit on 6 from a possible 12, but hey, we haven't lost a game so that's ok.
By the way, it was bottling it against Sunderland, cost us Europe, not losing to Spurs.

Never said we'd batter them, we never batter Spurs, regardless of how they are performing.
A 0-0 draw away from home is rarely a bad result.

Some people can never ever see the positive side, BB, mate.

HB, you were one of them, we had 3-0, even 5-0. And what was the score? You might be happy watching a team sit back and defend against a team you yourself called crap. Well, I'm not, just have higher expectations, I guess.

Yes, whatever, BP. Let's just all pretend everything lovely, shall we? Good players, poor tactics, but hey, 0-0 and another draw. Brilliant.
