    Come on - you'd expect that from Harry, surely. I'm curiously unsurprised myself.

    Might he prove to be our best striker in modern times? Better than Berba, Klinsmann, Sheringham? I think it's very possible.

    1 more point and no-one outside the top 5 can finish above us. Unreal.

    The team that gets most points isn't necessarily the best team, the team that scores most and concedes less is surely the best.

    I'd say that the team that gets the most points, wins the most games and loses the fewest is clearly the best. It's undeniable in fact.

    If Leicester finish top after 38 games, I don't think there can be any denying that they deserve to be champions. It's the marathon test.

    As for us, we can only regret our slow start to the season if we don't catch them.

    Great performance from Spurs tonight

    F***ed up my chances in the Spurs prediction league though.

    So it's not good for all of us

    The week of the London derbies will be the thing that may ultimately cost us.

    If that's not a novel, it should be.

    It won't have helped. But we took only 3 points from our 4 games in August. That's what may cost us, IMO.

    What ever happens this really has been a joy to watch this season. We have been absolute class, I have never seen such a quality Spurs team.

    Someone else posted this on Facebook so I can't take credit! But at the beginning of the season who thought that we were a centre back who was on loan at Southampton and a 19 year old from MK Dons away from seriously challenging for the league?!

    I still believe we'll win it. I have done since we beat West Ham at home. If we win our last 4, I am convinced we're champions. Man up and believe!

    And a 22? year old defensive midfield player who'd hardly ever played there before <ok>

    There's an unnerving calm i'm experiencing.... I expect them to win. They look like they're having fun out there and it's beautiful to watch. Divey V gets at least a 2 match ban which has got to vex Leicester a whole lot.

    Maybe guys... Just maybe!

    Plus another year of coaching and team building by the best manager in the league.

    Plus removing either Chiriches, Fazio or late-Spurs-career Kaboul is a serious plus.

    I said it at HT that we were pissing about and we easily had a few gears in us. To me it felt like Spurs were having a little stroll tonight, that we will win comfortably eventually.

    Love Lamela, he brings urgency to the team...fire in that belly.

    You maybe right Spain.,
    I'm of the opinion that it is/was our two games against Leicester that might bite us. In particular Huths 83rd min goal for them at the Lane.
    Even if we'd won our home game against them we'd be a point ahead right now and we are facing a slightly easier run in.
    However., It ain't over yet.
