Daniel Levy and Donna Cullen this result is all on you. Your lack of leadership and your infuriating reliance on interim managers when you get an appointment wrong (again). Enough is enough, show some leadership and act tonight. And offer supporters who travelled today a refund.

Very easy being a pundit for @SkySports . Roy Keane before game: ‘Burnley’s midfield would start for Spurs’. Spurs dominate in midfield. Keane at half time ‘I could play for Burnley’. Paying fans deserve better than these pundits. #coys
