    And that's a sensible comparison. You literally objected to the other one with your own post supporting it.

    Was Ranieri manager 12 months ago?

    The objection to judging over a season came from a Spurs fan, who then objected to 12 months! There must have been a small window during the season when Spurs had the best record, maybe we should use that and just hand them the title?

    Nope, I hold my hands up. Let's go back 25 years. We win!

    You said that including results from other managers was wrong, while supporting a post doing exactly that! <laugh>

    I've admitted my oversight and have stated that I think we should look back 25 years. That way we win and the Spuds can go back to measuring their cocks with the Dippers!

    Personally I prefer just looking at the current league table but that doesn't seem to suit the Spuds' agenda that they are somehow being cheated out of a title by a lucky Leicester City.

    Really? I thought that it didn't suit Man Utd fans, who think that they're being cheated out of a title by a boring Dutch bloke.

    We won't win the title because we haven't won enough points. The same will be true of Spurs. How the Spuds think otherwise is a mystery to everyone other than the Spuds who are increasingly resembling the Dippers who always feel cheated!

    See this is why I was debating over who to root for, for the league title.
    On the one hand it would be hilarious to witness the Arsenal fans having a complete deltmown if Spurs won the league.
    Claude from Arsenal fan TV would probably have a stroke live on air.
    But they become insanely unlikeable and unbearable even once they have achieved any minor success, that the novelty would wear off fast.

    **** knows how they're going to react when Arsenal overtake them at the last!

    Sounds like nonsense to me. Leicester are where they are because they keep winning games. It's that simple.
    The BBC are suggesting that the refs are doing them a favour, though:

    I guess that's down to Spurs, for some reason.

    Seems like bollocks to me.

    I would love us to win it just so I could watch Goon TV the next day. <laugh>

    But, truth be told, it's done and dusted unless Leicester suffer the meltdown of all meltdowns!

    So you don't buy into the crackpot theory that they've fluked it? Me neither.

    It depends on what you mean by fluke.
    Improbable and unlikely to be repeated? Sounds like quite an accurate description.
    Only winning it because they've got lucky? No. They've got a good, experienced manager with a plan that suits his players.

    So Spurs fluked their league cup win in 2008 then? They beat Chelsea in the final, that was improbable and they haven't repeated it, ie won the league cup, since.
    Agreed? <whistle>

    No, we beat Chelsea in a cup final before that too, so it was the repeat.
    Chelsea beating Spurs in a cup final is the fluke.

    When had you beat Chelsea in a cup final before that?
