    We paid them £59m more than his actual worth. They should be grateful.

    If the difference in fee means that the PL are spared
    Booodison Park for quite some time, then the PL
    should be paying an annual Levygeld.

    Thought Richarlison would be better…

    like the Pienaar deal, he got worse.

    God, Pienaar.
    What a waste of space he was (though he may have
    played in the threadbare starting XI of the legendary
    game against AC Milan in the 2011 CL) .

    I guess the morale of the story is for Spurs
    never to buy players from Everton.

    Pienaar appeared to have been bought to play LW while Bale played LB

    But then we kept bale at LW, making signing Pienaar utterly pointless - barring his salary, which was anything but (and also why it took a couple of seasons to shift him)

    Good result early today, in that even if Spurs lose
    tomorrow the gap to the top is only 3 pts.

    Had a bad time a week ago. On that Tuesday night my wife was in the urgent treatment center in Richmond while me and my brother in law were admitted to the Emergency Ward for different problems. I had to return Thursday because of a flare up of my knee and hip because of an old football injury back in 1964!(Torn cartilage). It had flared up so much,I could hardlly lift my firght leg to walk or lay down! I'm walking ok now,no limp.......Then I'm cheered up by.....NEWCASTLE 4 CHELSEA 1. Life is good!

    Assnal will be on 30 points if they win this game against Brentford. Spurs will be 4 points behind.

    Jammy bastards. Were woeful in this game and win due to a small lack of concentration at the end.

    As horrible as we were going forward, and as much as we lacked fluency in our rotations, we were pretty monstrous defensively for the most part (aside from the two individual mistakes from Zinchenko and Ramsdale). When you have a stable foundation to build from, it means in tight games like this, all your attacking players need is one moment of quality to rescue a win.

    Saka didn’t have a good game at all, but he can still produce moments of class out of nowhere. He did the same against Chelsea, too.

    I feel that no one has really hit their groove yet. And I say that about more or less the whole table.

    City have had more than their fair share of disappointing results. I feel they're missing Gundogan far more than they anticipated.

    Arsenal and Liverpool are scraping results without playing particularly well, and I think the same can be said about us.

    In what way?

    Spurs rivals aren’t the top three, I’d say a season finishing above Man Utd and Chelsea would be a very good season.

    Ange still needs another 4-5 players at least and he needs to tweak his system so Spurs aren’t so open defensively otherwise there could be plenty more games where they’re getting carved open for fun

    6th would be a good position to finish.
