    Are you destined to win, bluenose, really? You appear to be wobbling a little, are your wheels destined to fall off? That's the thing with destiny, you have to seize it with both hands, not fumble it like a third choice keeper.

    Imagine ceding a 12 or 13 point lead to a London rival. Surely no team has ever done that

    Outside London, Newcastle 95, United 98, and Arsenal 03 all lost sizeable leads.

    We'll be fine imo though as those sides were chased down by mentally stronger clubs

    It's certainly a title race. As I said before, it'll got to the wire.

    Win our home 4 games and that should be enough. We can afford a slip up in Liverpool then ;)

    Mate, I think Spurs are mentally strong, although I don't understand the hysteria over beating Bournemouth at home.

    Whatever the outcome, it's good that we could have some end of season drama. I'm sure even you guys will appreciate it more if you're made to fight for it, rather than a procession.

    Arsenal got a draw at Bournemouth and Giroud was so excited he did the world's ****test dance rather than try and win. Bournemouth are ace.

    Hysteria from whom, and about what ??
    Janssen finally scoring a PL goal from open play ??

    Spurs won, and scored one goal more than in the corresponding fixture last
    season. Beyond that, meh.

    Much as I dislike your lot and as funny it would be to bottle it from here, Spurs winning a league would be simply unbearable. I wouldn't be able to buy a schwarma or pick up my bagels on a Sunday without hearing a short, bald accountant talking about it.

    Has been for a while. I'd love to see Conte give the Italian equivalent of the Keegan interview at this point:
    "ida larve eeet, I woulda reeeallly larve eet........."

    There's no comparison Conte is respectful of all the teams he's a nice guy.
