Let’s not kid ourselves. We should NEVER EVER EVER have gone into the last game of the season with a chance of losing second. #thfc #joke

Being second for the most of 2016 and then a 0-4 win at Stoke marked the end of our campaign. WHOLE MONTH without a win. Disappointed #COYS

Disappointed to blow second after a great season, that’s the normal Spurs.
Champions league football though, onwards and upwards #COYS— George Herbert (@georgeherby) May 15, 2016
Could have won the league, should have come second, finished third. Really disappointing end to the season. #COYS @tomkynastonn

Absolutely awful. Third is amazing, but throwing away second by losing 4-1 to a relegated side is not good enough. #coys

If you want to be happy with 3rd crack on, I am seriously annoyed we have thrown second away #coys
