Rival watch

Did our trusty PL points "like for like" from the "Season compass" on
both Citeh and Poool (with the assumption that Spurs win today) .
The stats are (like for like with 2017-18) :

Citeh : 0
Poool : +14
Spurs : + 11

On paper that means Citeh are still on schedule to repeat their 100 pt haul.
That would be incredible, as it would now mean taking 56 pts from 60.

My feeling is that for Citeh not to win the PL, both the Poool and Spurs
are going to have to beat them in the PL clashes to come.

 

I hope it stays that way to be honest. With the team under the radar, pundits keeping their 'Spurs won't win anything' rhetoric, all they way up to the moment that we do. It'll be a much more satisfying success.

 

You are probably the first Spurs fan that I've ever seen in assuming a win.

 

Potential banana skin today, Everton are that sort of team.

 

Not a dig at you but I think it's not right to call this a banana skin...Everton are a decent team, who have a good manager and players and have seriously spent money.
If they were to win (very possible) it would not be a shock tbh.
I hope our playerstreat them seriously

 

True, not sure pep has improved him but Walkeris class. Was part of your defence in 15/16 (joint best) and 16/17 which was the best to joining city and making theres best in 17/18 and 2nd best on 18/19.

 

Everton at Christmas is great. Singalong now :

Do you hear what I hear ?? Booooooooooooo(dison Park) .

 

Spurs had best PL defence in 2015-16 and 2016-17.

No surprises there, given the arrival of Toby.
Similarly no surprises in the improvement from 2016 to 2017
given a full season shift from Wanyama.

Will be scary for the rest this season, if both of them return
to play with 2017 fitness levels in their legs.

 

Not denying his class at all mate...I just find the Pep love in a complete joke. He buys Walker a year after publically tapping him up by saying how he was the best in his position in the league and from the minute he joins everyone bangs one out about how pep made him world class...utter bollocks imo.
He was a top player who became so due to his hard work and the support he recieved from Pochettino and the coaching staff and his team mates.

really hope city do not win the title ... £600m spent ... the Pep lovers will go into meltdown

 

True. We need to support liverpool so that pep cant win another one and have a massive meltdown that bald headed nobber

 

City or Liverpool thats no choice at all for me can't you offer me another option who's third at the moment?

 

Yes, in football it doesn't take long for a team, any team to lose respect does it or any coach for that matter? Posters are mocking Chelsea and Arsenal and people are now beginning to hope that City will start to fall and if they fall further behind Liverpool Spurs will fancy their chances for a second place finish.

 

"I refer the honourable member to the reply I gave some moments ago."

 

Support Liverpool!! You cannot be serious. The whole board would become covered in ‘stuff’. It is up to the rest of us to make sure neither of them win anything ever

 

Cant disagree with that. The media, the boards, the tv will be plastered in plenty of sticky stuff.

Im pretty sure if you boys won it, it would be just as bad though . Can you imagine Hiag on a rampage. Or RCL

 

Think about what you're saying FFS!!!

 

Nah, HIAG at his worst(or best) can’t get close to the amount of stuff that would be emanating from the Mousers.

 

Ex-Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho thought he was going to discuss the club's transfer policy at the meeting where he was sacked.

Funnily enough, him publicly bawling about wanting to signing half a new squad every transfer window was on the agenda for that meeting...

 

Feeling a tiny tiny minuscule tiniest bit sorry for him now. Or a bit less than that. Clearly the players were not trying, and surely they should be playing to the best of their abilities, regardless of who picks the team. Look how "world class" Pogba is now. But I wouldn't have him at Spurs, even on a free. Also any future manager should realise that all this episode has done is transferred all the power to the players, which is not a good environment to be going into.
