    If we do win it...I won't be taking any praise graciously on here or anywhere else...apart from fellow Spurs fans and the odd poster who have given Spurs the props they deserve.

    Everybody wants cute Leicester to win it and think they can or the boring suspects that have had chance after chance.

    Everyone seems to be frowning at Spurs. Good!

    Anyone can do a journalists job. I bet them useless ****ers pop onto these sites for inspiration....****ing leeches.

    Leicester would be a more romantic story. The appeal for the neutral is that club who were almost relegated last season who wouldn't be expected to finish in the top half even if they played consistently well are in with a great chance of winning the PL. And they are playing counterattacking football and scoring goals.

    Financial resources are usually such a big factor. For the past dozen or so years only six clubs have had the resources to win the PL realistically. 4 have done so; Liverpool came close; perhaps this could be Spurs' year. Good luck to you. But you won't send shock waves around the world like Leicester will.

    Another great innings from Joe Root.

    Only just realised he wears the no. 66 shirt.

    Root 66?

    They are possibly the most negative side I've seen at the Lane all year, I went off them from that moment.

    They don't play romantic football in any shape or form, underdogs they may be and every dog has it's day, as they say, but as an example of our great game they exhibit some of the worst traits of Italian football.
    The journalists who cheer their cause are probably the same as those who criticised Chelsea when they won the CL with similar methods.
    I prefer to praise Mark Hughes who has turned Stoke into something resembling a football team and achieved some decent results.

    The trukke trukke? (http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/feb/08/tottenham-title-premier-league-leicester-city )

    Honestly, we have a problem with that gap to Leicester, just for starters. We need to win two more games than a team that’s only lost two games from 25 (draws being equal)--and there are only thirteen games left. We also have one striker in our squad, fixture congestion ahead, and two teams roughly level on points with us who have more talent, one of whom knows it can win things.

    However, if it weren’t Spurs, you’d have to say a lot rests on picking up points this weekend, or at least not losing any. The fact is that the trajectories of Spurs and Leicester are going in exactly the right direction, while Arsenal’s and City’s are not. Of course those can change in a flash, but if they don’t for a certain period of time, it will be a two team race. Leicester would still be clear favorites, but they have a problem: they’ve tended not to get wins against weaker teams at the rate the other three top four teams have. Since Spurs have managed, rather incredibly, to beat five lower ranked teams on the trot, there’s a bit of hope from our point of view we might pick up three wins while Leicester draw three times.

    Since it is Spurs, all bets are best not laid. Very promising years have had an impressive history of getting wrecked by completely unlikely random events. The only time to be sure they won’t wreck this one is after things are decided.

    What are your thoughts on the new Premier League logo?

    I think they took inspiration from this.

    Didn't for me.When I started watching,the Push and Run team had slowed to a crawl....and we lost at home to Preston 6-2....and they didn't have Tom Finney,out injured!
    But the next season,a miracle happened.A player named Danny Blanchflower turned out for us.Arsenal wanted him too,but wouldn't pay the extra (?) 2,000 quid Villa wanted.....

    It's abysmal. This is another obvious attempt to lure in more Asian interest in the league, they seem to like very simplistic branding. I know the Premier League is hardly an old entity, but at least the previous logo made a bit of a nod towards the more traditional shield/crest designs which are a strong part of English football heritage. There seems to be this constant attempt to remove all traces of history from the league, to sell itself to the very modern thinking international corporations.

    Reminds me slightly of the Netherlands National team logo... except not as good.

    Lionel Messi has just won the La Liga player of the month award for the very first time. How is that even possible?!

    He's a curse. Drop him.
