Top scorers Spurf, mustyfrog, Rebelspur**, Spurlock*, all with 12 points each. Rebel consolidates his first place with Patsbighands regaining his chasing position. A log jam at 89 points but the whole league is still running close. SpursDisciple continues his very rapid upward movement from the second division to reach 5th in the first in little time. Cup game in between before we face the rampant City at the Emirates. 2 failed to predict.

CITY v SPURS COYS
I’m gonna go out on a limb (don’t kill me RCL) and say we’ll get something from this. City are due a defeat and their run has to come to an end at some point. Whether it’ll be against us, who knows. Sod it. - 2-1 - Kane Son.
Dont see us being as defensively sound as the last couple against them and they’re tearing teams apart at the moment. City 3-1 Spurs Kane
One win does not make a season! Nor does one match played largely on the front foot. We shall have to see over the next few matches whether or not things have actually changed. This coming weekend will be a real test of our intentions and approach. Not to mention our manager. It’s time like these when we become somewhat sentimental and nostalgic. So, as a self-defence mechanism, I shall cherish my memories of Spurs, no matter how hard José tries to tarnish the image I have of the team and club I have supported for 75 years or more. So here’s another message addressed to the Portuguese Peacock. Thanks to Ella and Louis (strangely, two pairs of my friends have - quite separately - named their children thus!) for this week’s source material. Intro (missing in the Louis/Ella rendition) There are many, many crazy things That will keep me loving Spurs. ’Spite of your mad mission, How my mem’ry stirs! Attacking throws from Pat, And Ledley’s part-time knee, Graeme Roberts at the back - No, no - you can't take that away from me! Sharp headers from Gilzean, And Ronnie scoring three, Just beating top-six teams - No, no - you can't take that away from me! I shall never sing your name again, ‘Cos your style I cannot love. But I know I’ll always Love my mem’ries of…. Crooks, Jermain, Kane and Clive, Cups won with Stevie P, Ginola’s mocking dive - No, no - you can't take that away from me! No, you can't take that away from me! etcetcetc Prediction: Man City 2 Spurs 2 Scorers: Kane, Lamela Cheers, Spurf!
