Liverpool the only team in the top 9 who didn't win this weekend. More than half of the PL now go to a belated winter break
The following teams are now unable to finish above us Bournemouth Brighton Crystal Palace Huddersfield Town Newcastle United Southampton Stoke City Swansea City Watford West Bromwich Albion West Scam United So the lowest we can finish this season is ninth Is it worth mentioning the noisy neighbours could still theoretically finish in nineteenth?
We have a new challenger for the net spend trophy : https://www.not606.com/threads/good-time-to-be-playing-city.358973/page-4#post-11530872 I wanted to throw in an orchestra of violins, but as Spurs supporters we cannot afford them.
Michael Carrick has announced that he is retiring at the end of the season. No surprise in that. A great player. He won 12 major trophies including a clean sweep of all domestic and European competitions (and the World Club Championships). Never given much of a chance by England given the central midfielders available at the time. A shame.
He was better than all the ones available at the time but the English managers during his time valued running about like headless chickens over skill. Pirlo wouldn’t have got in either
Just to put this into perspective...13 years ago 8th would have been our highest premier league finish.
Now Zaha's fit again, he was probably taking them down and they're just 2 points behind the Spammers with a significantly better goal difference. Their next PL game...? Spamageddon at The Toxic Arena. Come on you Saints.
He suffered the same problem as all his recent predecessors - the club kept on selling its best players - not always for big money. Van Dijk, Mane, Wanyama, Fonte, Schneiderlin, Clyne, Shaw, Lallana, Lovren, Cork, Lambert for example,
