Possession stats generally say more about the team's style of play than their ability. There are exceptions though, when teams try to play a possession game and get totally outplayed. Low possession is normal for Leicester. It's catastrophic for Arsenal.
Crystal Palace ... plus 2 points on last season Norwich... (swapped with burnley ) plus 2 points on last season Watford... (swapped with Hull) equal to last season Man City .... plus 3 points on last season So after 26 matches we are plus 8 points when you compare our season match by match per team!
3 defeats in 26 prem games Not lost by more a single goal in prem or our cup matches not conceded more than 2 goals in a match 2nd in table 8 points better off game by game on last season Best defence in the prem Plus 27 gd (best in prem and 2nd best in all 4 divisions) had a 14 game unbeaten run won our last 5 prem games Its bloody amazing...but you just know it'll all go wrong in a very unusual but spursy way
"Its bloody amazing...but you just know it'll all go wrong in a very unusual but spursy way" Awaiting this seasons' <standard> can almost be as stomach-churning as any excellent performances.
I do find our epic failures comforting in a weird way...a bit like when my 18 yr daughter comes home. I worry when she's out even though she is safe, last night she came in around 12.30am and I could then go to sleep knowing all is good in my world. ..if spurs ever won something my safety blanket will be gone...I might have to start believing
Blame Poch, he's making me believe! Lol. I went from one of the most pessimistic twats under AVB to a guy who's now dreaming of throwing roses at Pochettino and the team when they do a bus tour after completing the treble
If we win the prem this season I will be waiting for relegation next season...that's how a true Spur thinks
And Spurs have broken their +30 GD barrier for the first time in the PL era. Still on target for GA in the 30s (could be in the 20s by the end ) . <KPIs>
Another way of looking at it is to look at the teams who don't even have a mathmatical chance of finishing above us already: Bournemouth Swansea Crystal Palace Norwich Sunderland Newcastle Aston Villa That's 1/3 of the league, and a few of the teams on that list have a game in hand on us.
St Totteringhams day ain't cancelled quite yet, hopefully it will be sometime in April. It might be good to have a Saint Emiroids Day, the day when the Goons realise that Spurs are a pain in l'arse.
