No worries!

I have no idea how it's going to pan out with the forthcoming TV money, but it's an exciting time for sure. The introduction of FFP seemed at the time like it would make breaking into the top 4-6 even more impossible - though things don't seem to be panning out that way; the chasing pack tend to be run almost immaculately whilst the "bigger" clubs could be accused of being quite poorly managed in many respects.

All in all, I'd much rather be in a league where anyone can beat anyone - rather than being cannon fodder for one or two teams who win the league by dozens of points every year. If that means our clubs do a bit worse in Europe than so be it

You mention FFP, and I wonder whether that is beginning to hold back the glamour clubs in the PL. That reminds me that FFP was relaxed for Man City at a specific time for some reason. Does anyone know why.?
 
It is a very interesting PL this season. Could end up being the first time in decades that Spurs finish as the highest London team. On the other hand, Arsenal could finally win the league.

I think Chelsea have dropped so far off the pace they'll struggle to make the top 4 now.

And then there's Leicester. They must be starting to think they're on for a top 6 finish now; if not top 4.

I'll be happy with any top 10 finish for us, but wouldn't rule out European qualification yet either.

Love the way this gets said almost every season. Arsenal will finish higher. It is absolutely rote with Arsenal. A poor start; mid-season injury concerns; Champions League stutters; QF elimination in said tournament; late-season slump in form; even later-season amazing run; people saying Spurs could finish higher than them; Arsenal finish in the top four.

Spurs will finish top 4.
 
Spurs will finish top 4.

Could well do. Let's hope not, though. I'll be cheering on Liverpool towards season end should it come down to it. I even want Chelsea to come back into it if it means preventing Spurs from getting anywhere.
