    Spurs are probs third still. But this is all ground work for moving back to WHL. They will do it soon.

    Their window is small though, unless they start paying their players the going rate they will leave.

    Precisely. In a weird way this stadium move came at the wrong time for them.

    They either need to start winning stuff or dramatically increase their wages.

    Not to mention Poch leaving...

    Poch leaving wouldn’t be the end of the world I think if they keep the squad together. Bring in someone with experience of winning stuff at the top level and with the squad they have they might just do it. Poch is still a young manager and learning

    Saw something a little while ago where Kieron Dyer said he earnt more when he was at Newcastle in like 2002 than some of the Spurs players are on now <laugh>

    That is a horrific challenge from Vertonghen. Should have been sent off.

    That's probably Vertonghen out of the SF. You can only assume the referee missed it, in which case a three match ban can still apply.

    If so, it'll be interesting if the Poch-Toby stand off continues.

    I saw that stat too <laugh>

    The issue is is that when Poch leaves players will follow and once Kane has gone they're simply not going to be able to replace him.

    The only reason Hazard isn't out of our semi is his leg wasn't planted. Never mind the semi, he could easily have been ruled out of the World Cup - by his international team mate!

    SKY have got to hope that either us or Stoke (or both) wake up and do something very quickly. Otherwise the title, the top four, and relegation will all be decided long before the last day.

    Just seen the Chelsea v Spurs goals.

    I don't understand the Erikson goal. The ball swerved a lot in the air, but the ball went directly above the GKs head. I don't get why he dropped to his knees. Even if he'd have just stood there and stuck up a hand he'd have saved it.

    Anyway, Allis first goal was sublime.

    That's got to be career over for Pardoo. The Wembley dance cursed him.

    Is it good or bad to have a world cup in a relegation close season?

    In all honesty, I would have kept MP2 if Alan was a serious option.

    Very bad, but if it makes you feel better, it's gonna be bad if we stay up too.
