@Hoddle Is A God

My only question will be, assuming we do not have a deltmown and take the title, next season, will Spurs be able to carry this on?
Quite a few times we have seen them look like they are starting to build something, and have a good season, then the next season, historically, it has come crumbling down spectacularly.
This time you will have CL football I suppose.
Just there have been too many false dawns at White Hart Lane.
That's the big question. Spurs have had a few false starts in the past, but looking from the outside, I think there is steel in what Poncho is doing, and belief from the players, maybe even the powers that be. IF he can keep his stars and recruit maybe only 2 better quality squad players,then there is no reason Spurs can't be challenging again next season. Money, as always in our game today, is crucial, firstly to hold off the likes of Madrid who circle like sharks around the Kanes and Allis, and money to buy top class players.

I can't see Kane or Alli going anywhere to be honest.
I am thinking more like Lloris, Lamela, Vertonghen and Alderweild (sp?) them sort of folk.

That could be, but with Spurs spending power ,both on wages and to buy players, they are vulnerable to raiders, as were Leicester when we came calling. They can't afford to lose any of their 1st 11, and need to strengthen a tad to stay in the hunt. Hope for their sake that they do.

That would be what most clubs with ambition would do but Spurs do have a history of selling players and like Arsenal choose not to pay the going rate for good players. Their squad is thin and barely adequate for sustained challenges. This has been echoed with their performances or lack of them in Europe. If they fail to win something major those the more decent players they have right now will be looking elsewhere.
 
G Crooks is one happy bloke at the Bridge.

Needless risk from Conte.
Would have went with Zouma & Dave for right side instead of Dave & Pedro.

Now will be time to pull Cescy for Zouma, make it solid & push Pedro further up.
or else, more goals in this for Palace.
Hazard doesn't deserve to lose that 1st half, FFS.

Exactly what I said to the Dfer chit chatters at HT
