    Tragic post this. Liverpool are genuine contenders to City because Klopp identified where they need players and the board backed him. Other pretenders haven’t and their board are only interested in the bottom line and have no fur on their back.

    I see bottling around February when the lack of squad kicks in.

    We always start ****...this season has been our best start yet. I expect us to be on a roll come Spring...we are always hitting our peak around then..quality squad depth though is what we need

  4. You're replying to a blank, so I take it that Skiddy has vented his usual bile about something, yeah?

    Oh, how I will laugh, when we finish above the Chavs!

    Spending money doesn't mean guaranteed success...another way of looking at it is that our first team are a smooth machine...been together for a few years...that must count for something in footballing terms. Let's be fair we aren't talking about mid table fodder...Spurs are in the top 4 for a reason.

    Hmm, things don’t always follow a set formulae. But agree with quality in depth though, you never know who’s going to get injured or fall out of form.

    There’s never a guarantee but all the previous winners bar Leicester had spent heavily improving squads. ****ed if I’d be happy waiting for the next blue moon.

    This is something that every third-rate wumster wilfully chooses to forget, Bruv.

    Quality players, playing as a team, as opposed to a "team" of Galaticos playing for themselves, will always succeed.

    That is why Poch has struggled so hard to keep this magnificent Spurs side together.

    Exactly and with Poncetto being so successful in his nine years as a manager and all. I honestly think if he steers you too a league cup you’ll probably **** yourself to death.

    The only top 8 teams you've played are Liverpool and Watford, and you lost both of those. No points in the CL either.

    Shock horror, average team looks above average when they only play below average sides.

  14. Yeah, but we're breezing past mid-table fodder, such as Huddersfield and United, yeah?

    True, guess that's why Hazard raped your back line in the cup and Insigne finished you off after you lot failed to muster a shot on target.

  16. We smashed United 0-3 at OT...

    Oh, right!

    Yeah, I get your point, now.

    Your consistency against mid and bottom table teams has been great for a long time now. But equally there's no evidence you'll trouble the top this season just like you didn't any previous one.

    Once you've finished the move to the new stadium I'm sure you'll have the financial backing to compete for the league and CL
