Whilst I'm getting extremely frustrated with our Wembley woes in the league at the moment, we always have to look at positives. We have only lost 1 game this season so far and that was terribly unlucky against Chelsea. 2 crap draws against Swansea and Burnley at "home" I know but everyone around us dropped points this weekend ( Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea ) bar the 2 Manchester clubs who at this moment in time look like they are both going to be the main challengers for this title. We ain't winning the title this season not a chance with our Wembley record but we are still in a good position right now. We are 5th in the league and only 2 points off 3rd. Our away form recently has been superb so let's hope this compensates our atrocious Wembley record. Top 4 we most definitely can get but we ain't winning the title this season unfortunately.

Don, no away game should be easy but we're in a good vein of away form (we're probably channeling our positivity in our away performances this season to compensate for Wembley), and it's a good time, if there ever is one, to play West Ham.
They had that extra incentive to want to beat us last time cause we were chasing Chelsea for the title, which isn't there at the moment. I'm more worried about playing them at Wembley.

Positives > Janssen scores
Negative > he left

The Turkish league is pants to be fair. I'd expect him to score a lot of goals in it.

Absolutely will have no problem filling the new ground, I will go to more games than I do Wembley, especially the evening matches.

Don
I was well fed up yesterday after another home draw, but on reflection, I have thought well that is the third clean sheet of the season, third game unbeaten at Wembley.Only one defeat and still 5th in the table. Fortunately Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all drew this weekend.
It is just a bit annoying though dropping points in games Spurs should have won at a canter, Chelsea game aside. Mind you I expected to drop points at Everton and Newcastle, so I suppose it has been swings and roundabouts.
Need something from West Ham and Huddersfield away though to keep pace with the top four.
Hopefully Poch will actually take the cup competitions seriously this season, if Spurs Prem form falters.

Wouldn't be surprised if West Ham beat us 1-0 again!

Part and parcel of football nowadays, teams will come and sit back and wait like we did against Dortmund,

Not an ideal start, but at the start of the season I would hace been pretty happy with 11pts now.
A - Newcastle and Everton - 4pts
H - Chelsea, Burnley and Swansea - 7pts
We are behind where we should be, but a win at West Ham would almost get us par I would say. I would say 12pts after 6 games would be good, 11pts would be fine

Playing at their soulless bowl should be a walk in the park after playing at one of our own.

Only losing once in the first 5 games, not bad at all
