You werent wrong, long time in coming

He won the league the season before last. That's not been seen at two of those clubs for years, one for donkeys. Perhaps that's OK in your footbal eyes. Each to their own I guess.

Hughes in trouble

Another good goal from Townsend as Palace are spanking Stoke

Hughes and Bilic need a win soon......

He'll be gone by the end of the month.

More than likely.

He'll be at Sunderland in 4 months time. Moyes will be on Sky, again. Billic will sort things out at West Ham.

Agree with the first two but not the third; the contagion seems to have set in at West Ham.

William Bony seems devoid of confidence

Things must be bad when Palace are taking the p**s out of you

The days when Mourinho comes into clubs and wins them the League are over. He was a great manager(past tense) not anymore.

Great 1st half and we really held on under pressure with Prodl excellent.

Did wonder why Zuniga was coming on - but got my answer!

Cool penalty at the end from Troy..

Thank goodness Ighalo's miss didn't matter!

Rooney and Pogba just moaned all game!!

He was brilliant and exciting at Everton and Euro 2004; Ferguson made him a multi-functional player but he was never the same. The metatarsal injury was probably the turning point.

Going to be a long afternoon for Sunderland at this rate...

He was half decent in the qualifiers. Granted the competition was a bit shite, but he did score some winners.

The fable of the peltered pariah picks up more pretend steam

Kane breaks his duck for the season. Tottenham really are all over them here.

He scored against Stoke last weekend.

Oh yes, silly me. The way people had been talking about him you'd think he hadn't scored yet.

It would be typical Tottenham to end up drawing 1-1 but Sunderland really don't look up to much under Moyes.

Neither did Everton, Man Utd or Real Sociedad.

No one seems to be talking up Spurs for a top four and or title challenge for some reason faded in the last month season no reason why they can't go again.

A win takes them third, do think the champions league might show Spurs to be a bit out of their depth there but they might then fall into the Europa league which may prove a problem .

Sunderland are beyond awful though

I'm only dipping in and out of this game , are Spurs making hard work of this only 1-0 up at home to Sunderland, have Sunderland done ok despite losing

I don't really think you can say too much bad about his work at Everton overall in fairness. But everything since has been a disaster.


Sunderland have been pretty bad in this half for me. Absolutely no ability to put their foot on the ball and their odd moments up the pitch have been ruined by terrible passes.

As long as they are still in touch by April they will start to get some results then.

Joking aside this may be the year they finally go down

I think so too but I've thought it since about 2013.

Januzaj is shite.

...and ludicrously petulant.

Spurs should be out of sight in this match by now.
