I am hoping to contract coronavirus so I can take the rest of the season off.

What's the feedback down there regarding Mourinho so far mate and how he's doing? Will he get the patience from the fans, is their rumblings of discontent already etc

I mean the meltdown has seemingly started 2 seasons early

United thought they were getting the original Jose, they got the tired, miserable version.

I want a tired version of a manager that will win us 3 trophies and finish 2nd in the league.

He is without Lloris, Sissoko, Kane and Son. So people are making allowances. BUT he is not very popular in general. If results (and more importantly performances) don't improve next season when they are back and he has had the summer window, he will lose the crowd very quickly.

I am usually stupidly optimistic (even with the benefit of experience) but I had zero confidence that we would get a result from Wolves or Norwich. Very unlike me.

What's the story on Dier,? I missed it.

Storm in a teacup.

Someone was abusing him as he left the pitch (don't know why, he had a good game). His brother confronted them. Dier saw a commotion (no violence), thought his brother was in trouble and went in the stand to help him (unecessasarily as it turns out).

Handbags.

Can't wait for the Amazon fly on the wall series next year.

It will be TV gold for everyone except Spurs fans. I will be watching through my fingers.

Needs giving a ban until the end of the season for reacting the way he did, rightly or wrongly, and even if he did it because he thought his brother was in a scrap. You simply cannot do that. If he isn't banned then it opens the floodgates for footballers to start beating up fans for no real reason without fearing any repercussions.

Bad scenes at Tottenham. Dier is probably reflecting the way the players feel, or should feel.

My Spurs pals absolutely hate Mourinho.

He didn't beat up a fan. He confronted one.

He was throwing fists. I expect nothing less than a season-ending ban. You cannot do that.

Blessing in disguise as he's crap.

The wheels are really falling off at Spurs now, that's 4 defeats on the trot across three competitions. Was funny last night, the commentator was saying "they only have the youngster Parrott as a recognised striker in the squad", then I looked and they were starting with Bergwijn and Moura - two strikers - then had over 100m of attacking midfielders on the bench as well. lol

1: Id say Bergwijn and Moura were wingers...Bergwijn could have been great for us on the right side...hes like a whippet.

2: Lloris, Dier, Sissoko, Son and Kane out now i think...when you take 5 players out of any side its going to hurt...we were stuffed with just Gomes and Gbamin out in midfield...

Ndombele looks a different player...not making any effort, in France he was a machine...wonder whats happened?

3: Dier jumped over the hoarding into the stand

Climbed over a few rows of seats...

Went towards a crowd who asked wtf hes doing

Fans all in shock

Dier starts yelling "hes my brother"

Dier suddenly launches forward swinging and is held back forcefully by fans

Stewards begin to appear...Dier surrounded,...fans all saying to calm down and taking videos...

Dier looked like it suddenly dawned on him where he was and what he was doing...like hed had a black out and clicked

Hes going to be banned till 2021 or close to it i reckon...cant allow that...

Cantona had the red mist and others have jumped in then back onto the pitch...

Diers literally gone up into the stand...

On the plus side, it's the fastest I've seen Dier move in many a year.

They spent 100m revamping their midfield. They don't get to act like Sissoko and Dier are big losses at that point. Son is the biggest loss as much as I despise him. Lloris and Kane might be past their best. Kane has a worrying set of injuries and performance dips the last two years. They need to realize the full scope of the problem this summer. And Jose is not helping things.
