    So all played 4 other teams then, one newly promoted, one with a novice manager and the other in the 6th year of their managers "project".
    Sounds about equal to me.

    If you genuinely think that Spurs losing a 2 goal lead away at Arsenal, has exact equivalence with Chelsea losing a 2 goal lead at home to Sheffield United, then you crack on.

    Oooo melty<laugh>


    "Why do all the pundits say exactly the same thing? I'm thinking particularly of their love (to put it mildly) for Liverpool. They now clearly have been grouped without any critical analysis as being on the same level as Citeh and above everyone else. This is presumably based on (1) the Pool bias / entitlement that is always there and (2) the fact that there was only one point between them last season. BUT (and it's a big but so I used capitals) there seems to have been no mention of how Pool got within onepoint by way of lucky goals, offside goals, dodgy penalties etc, and lets not forget the front three being available pretty much every match. All this is presumably built into the "on another level" analysis, but you would think at least one pundit might mention such possibilities as (and I say possibilities):
    > one or more of the front three having an extensive injury
    > the refs manning up (which might be easier if they can "hide" behind VAR)
    > teams not giving them goals by extremely bad keeping / defending
    > the fact that a lot of the team didn't get much of a rest over the summer
    > the fact that their CL champions status has brought them more matches to play

    And there's more. The main point is that any of these, particularly the tiredness, can easily be cited as a factor why Pool might not achieve the same this year as last. All I'm hearing are every pundit saying they'll get at least runner-up and a few even saying they'll win the title. I think the tiredness will catch up with them and impact the performances if they are allowed to (if the refs are more even handed I mean). So lets all take note of what the pundits say now, and then what excuses they come up with if Pool don't perform. If this happens, and they say something like they are tired from a lot of extra football, why not say that now?"

    Sporting Lisbon are willing to sell reported midfield Spurs target, Bruno Fernandez 25 for £62m in January.

    Spurs are apparently willing to meet the valuation via a number of component elements and Daniel Levy has communicated these to Sporting.

    £22m cash down payment with the balance conditional on:
    £10m if Spurs win the Premier League
    £10m if Spurs win the Champions League
    £20m if Spurs win The Great British Bake-off

    Sporting have rejected the proposal, a spokesmen commenting that all but the bake off element are entirely fanciful and practically ridiculous.

    Daniel Levy is fuming.
