    I hope there is a game called 'guess at the end of which season the spiral actually began' .

    No. He is predicting Conte will leave Chelsea.

    Edit for the hard of understanding

  5. The Admins should close this dire thread. It has been the greatest wum ****-up of all. The only reason you are still posting here, Skiddy, is because you have special needs, and you lack the capability of feeling shame and humiliation.

    Hardly. Spurs have bottled it again and GM has got you rattled to **** with this thread :)

    I'd say it is similar to the one created about Leicester. Having looked back at the original post, it refers to next season so I'd suggest we would need to keep tabs on it then don't you think?

    The spiral is real this season as Spurs were on for the title and bottled it again, as for next season with the Spuds playing at Wembley I think the spiral could accelerate. Also as mentioned GM, has got HAIG rattled to **** with this thread, so it's achieved its aim already <laugh>

    Small consolation for bottling the title twice though. It will be interesting to see what happens at Spurs in the summer and at Wembley next season. You might not get another shot at the title unless you can improve that horrendous form you've had there.

    Well as I say all the time, Leicester is central for me. HAIG has said himself that the LCFC thread must stay open to review next season (I.e he wants to keep it open permenantly in case we get relegated at some point in the future to claim credit from the thread). I would say in the interests of being fair, if one spiral thread is kept open they all should. That probably goes for Arsenal too mate <sorry>

    I agree. The Leicester spiral thread was one of the biggest wum **** ups ever, with LCFC going on to win the title. HIAG tried to deflect his **** up saying it was about the following season, and that Leicester would 'utterly humiliate' themselves in the Champions League and they went on to reach the QF whilst the spuds were humiliated in their group stages. It was a classic case of comments coming back to haunt him <ghost>

    The Spurs spiral watch is going to be very lively for the remainder of this bottle job season, and next season I expect fireworks <ok>

    He has a point, he is the expert at wum ****-ups after all <ok>

    Can't argue with that to be fair.

    At least their guaranteed second in a two horse race this year.

    This thread could be more apt next year though, will they be able to pick themselves up and brush themselves off after a second "so near" year in a row? especially at wembley.

    We were just the best placed of the rest again. We have been chasing 13/10 point gaps all season. There was no bottling..we had nothing to throw away. Won 9 in a row at a crucial stage of the season, unbeaten at home having dropped just 4 points all season. That's not what bottlers do. We just dont have that extra bit that Russian/Arab money can buy.

    We are in deep **** next season..I do believe that. Worst time possible to not be playing at home. Plus another season without winning something and it could result in a few exits. That's what concerns me.

    I don't think we will..we can't play on these big pitches. Not looking forward.

    Might take the year off the PL board lol.

    Yeah I'm just joshin' you've had a great season, funny to see the Hammers steal away your dreams though. This thread is more about taking the piss out of HIAG's various Spirals, so no offence meant to the genuine Spurs fans.

    Agree that next season is going to be a big test for Spurs, everybody will be watching to see if they can mount another title challenge and teams will come to defend and try to nullify your threats. Spurs have done quite well by going under the radar, everybody was focusing on Leicester last season and Chelsea this one, but the expectations are there for Spurs now. I think the Wembley issue is going to be a big hurdle for Spurs next season

    No you're right.
    For Spurs to have done as well as they have, having spent by far the least amount in the top 6, is a great achievement.
    Were it not for the fact that Spurs has a sizeable contingent of monstrous bell ends amongst their fanbase (present company excluded), then I may even be rooting for Spurs to do well (as long as it is not to the detriment of Chelsea of course).

    I still think Arsenal fan TV would awesome if Spurs won the league, would be more entertaining than the Royal Variety show.

    Pundits no doubt will have written off your chances for next year with the ground swapping, sometimes teams play better when the pressures off, so wouldn't be surprised if you got another top 4 finish.
