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.

This is a game by game comparison of our match results to last season.

Man utd ... same points as last season
Stoke .... plus 1 point on last season
Leicester ... minus 2 points on last season
Everton ... minus 2 points on last season
Sunderland ... plus 2 points on last season
palace...plus 2 points on last season
man city ... plus 3 points on last season
swansea ... minus 2 points on last season
Liverpool. ..plus 1 point on last season
Bournemouth (swapped with qpr) ... equal to last season
Villa... plus 3 points on last season
Arsenal. ..equal to last season
west ham...plus 2 points on last season
Chelsea ... minus 2 points on last season
West brom ... minus 2 points on last season
Newcastle ... equal to last season
Southampton. ..plus 2 points on last season
Norwich...equal to last season (swapped with burnley)
Watford...equal to last season (swapped with hull)
Everton ...minus 2 points on last season
Leicester. ..minus 3 points on last season
Sunderland. ...equal to last season

That makes us plus 1 point game by game, team by team on last season...pretty much evened itself out now.

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!

Think the difference is from how you swap the promoted team to the relegated team

Possibly, but either way it is going well.

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 get a lot better when we win all of our remaining Prem games and go on to win the Europa & FA to complete an incredible treble for the club

Just fixed it a little for you mate

Awaiting this seasons' <standard> can almost be as stomach-churning as any excellent
performances.

You are way to optimistic to be a true spur

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

 

[remembercolinlee]

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 ) .

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.

In honour of PISKIE, shouldn't we call it ****whitsunday?

So much for those stats that show Woezil and Mahrez being the best midfielders in the Prem.
