Have other teams caught up or have top teams dropped back ?

Normally I would be inclined to agree with you. I wouldn't say Spurs have no chance of winning the title just as I wouldn't say I have no chance of winning the lottery but it is unlikely.

In the end the PL race is a sprint not a marathon. Spurs are better than both of us now but that's not to say they will be come May. Bigger gaps have been overturned than 9 points by IMO better teams than this current Spurs one

 

because players are not as deluded as your opinion to suggest that they will come to your club due to its 15 year history despite the fact that your team is in a current decline which has been on the cards for some time

and spurs are obviously on the ascendency and is a well run club and has world class players and is challenging for the title wether you like it or not and whether you try to belittle it or not by comparing it to your 14million in 1 chance of winning the lottery

if you can get into the champs league and stay there season in seson out then you can attract players..after that its the wage...but i dont think any of your foreign players give a **** what went on 15 years prior to them joining..thats your shout..the fans

 

your choking on admitting things i think...

 

just like PISKIE you District Line seem to have the knack of thinking that your club will for some reason have an upsurge and spurs are bound to mess it up...like i said to Piskie...if your thinking we will mess up in the second half of the season..then your team will definatly mess it up..
your logic states that :

a team playing crap will come good because its chelsea
a team playing brilliant will fuk up cos its Spurs

and if it doesnt then its like winning the lottery



very very bitter...



and its your club that won the lottery or it would be imitating Leeds United...

 

I think you missed out a 0 in that. And it's actually 106 soon to be 107 years

We are on the Kings Road, Heart of London in one of the nicest places in Europe. We are in transition not decline. That's what fans of small meaningless clubs like yours don't understand, when all is said and done the worst Chelsea side in a good decade or so is in the Champions League Finals Last 16 stage, somewhere a club like Spurs could only dream of being.

You have one world class player, Modric and three of four very good ones, King, Sandro, VDV and Bale.

As you've said players only care about the here and now. And all things taken into consideration Chelsea is a much more lucrative club for top players to join than feeder clubs like Spurs that cannot sustain European Football

 

You can have an honest opinion that is 'deluded'. An honest one is often incorrect, and you can have one that is deluded and correct (as delusion is subjective), so why you seem so chuffed that one person from another club supports you in your opinion perplexes me. Must be that small club mentality again. Please don't use the word if you don't understand how to use it properly, or atleast look it up.

 

you mean dont use it because i question you?

dont give me an english lesson cheers and stik to the football

i usually find people breaking down others grammer as they have nothing to add to the debate..i couldnt give a damn how you type im quite intelligent enough do understand what you mean....but i suppose you need the last word

looks like youll have to type another last word in that case.

its an honest opinion because its damn obvious..its not deluded because he doesnt let his allegience to Arsenal Fc get in the way of what he says....therefore not deluded..

i could copy and paste your reply to me..for every single one of ypur comments from now on in..because heyy its only your opinion...get over it.

 

What's there to admit? Spurs at the moment are a better team than us.

It's not bitter or deluded. You see whilst you have been battling relegation and sitting in midtable obscurity some of us have been through the rollercoaster of title races and battles for 4th etc.

Based on what I have seen, I do not believe Spurs (or United for that matter) are THAT much better than us or Arsenal.

Last season we overturned an 11 point deficit on Arsenal, 2 seasons before that we were at one stage 5th and finished 3rd, season before that we were 6th and finished 2nd whilst overturning a 10 point gap over Arsenal in that very same season.

This is a new experience for Spurs fans, the majority of whom have never been involved in a title race therefore you are in no position to lecture fans of Chelsea and Arsenal in particular that have been through it all many a time.

I am not saying you'll completely capitulate, I still think you'll get top 4 but you must either be thick or plain deluded if you think you won't drop significant points bearing in mind you play City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool away. Your recent record at most of these grounds is terrible, then of course you have United at home who you seem to roll over for every season anyway.

One thing you will learn if Spurs compete at the highest level continually (which I doubt) is how nothing can be taken for granted in this league.

Go and ask Newcastle fans how they felt when United overturned a 12 point gap over them in January, or Arsenal fans when United overturned a 9 point gap over them in February? Your yourselves had to come from almost oblivion to qualify for the CL in 09/10. I recall many Spurs fans having given up after the defeat to Wolves in February I think it was.

History shows that one or two teams will always go on a run, whilst one or two will plummet. Chelsea and Liverpool (at the top) and Birmingham/Blackpool (at the bottom) were the two teams that did that last year

 

Listen, I don't want to turn this into a fight, but seriously, if you accepted other people's opinions and didn't refer to them as delusional, I wouldn't feel so aggrivated at you attitude.

 

As a gooner you should know better. Just how many times have Spuds had the chance to finish higher than you in recent years but always manage to grab second best.They are doing well at present but Spuds have no pedigree or know-how on how to win a title, that's why I'm supremely confident. They may finish ahead of United but I think they well might finish 4th yet.

 

Couldn't have put it better myself District

 

You wouldn't be delusional, you would just have your own opinion.

 

I think spurs are doing pretty damn well this season. I know Chelsea like to belittle us but I would never compare our club to yours. Chelsea can only be compared to Man City because they are run and gained success in the same way.

The fact tottenham and arsenal can even keep up without bankrupting ourselves should be commended!

 

We haven't been bashing Spurs. You are doing incredibly well but you have some fans that succeed at annoying other members for no reason.

 

People join Chelsea because your wage bill is £172.5m pa.
Players like money. That's not a surprise to anyone, is it?

I won't go into the rest of your Mystic Meg rant, but I'd just like to point out that our away record at City is actually very good, over the last decade.
It's something like W7, D1, L2, though I'd have to check the exact figures.
That's about as relevant as most of the other stuff that you've said though, as the past doesn't dictate the future.

 

The point you are missing is that things change - In ten year's time the top four will be bery different, just as it was for the first 90 years of your history when at best you were vying with West Ham to be the third best team in London. There is no such thing as a top club and a feeder club, just clubs who happen to be good at a particular time.

 

PNP I had hoped it wasn't you that would bite

Money is not the only factor, it is probably the main one but not the only one.

I genuinely believe whilst players want to be paid pot loads of money, they also want to stay at and compete at the highest level in their prime years.

I do not believe at aged 19, Anelka would have left Arsenal for Shanghai whatever their names are'.

Not every player is a mercenary and in it for the fame and fortune like Beckham.

 

Money, success, prestige and location.
Your location is good, but your success and limited comparatively limited prestige were only achieved via vast cash injections, first from the unfortunate Matthew Harding, who was a genuine fan and then via Roman.
Prior to that you were essentially West Ham, minus the claret.

 

Again you are demonstrating why your fans have the tag of being the most deluded.

In the mid 70s and 80s when we hit financial crisis yes we were battling West Ham to be the 3rd best, but Spurs weren't exactly world beaters then either.

In the 60s we finished above Arsenal and West Ham almost every year and were noted for being the great entertainers due to our inconsistency but also gung-ho approach. We may not have won much that decade but we had some fantastic players which most could only dream of having. And it was of course topped off by beating Revie's Leeds in the 1970 FA Cup.

Keep embarrassing yourself though with your lack of footballing knowledge

 

And there is and always has been a food chain.

The likes of Barca, City and Real are at the top, below them are Chelsea, United and Arsenal and then below them are the traditional midtable clubs like Spurs, Villa and Everton
