dunno, they rode out an injury to their most important and least replacable player, while playing champions league, and are only 3 points off the top 4, that’s pretty impressive. Of the top 6, they’re one of two who you could have any faith in keeping a clean sheet. FWIW I reckon theyll miss out on top 4, but mainly cause I reckon city will improve (personnel + time under Pep) in the second half of the season.

Although I do wonder about someone who trawls through a 300-post thread purely to find something to be outraged by, I admit that I got easily wound up whilst in the pub and posted something really stupid. I apologise, everyone.

But that was the exasperating thing. At the time of the BL game, all the talk was about how soon Kane would be back, yet he was out and out the best Spurs player on the pitch.

#333

It was like- don’t worry lads, Kane will be back soon. …err, guys, Son was the only player that put a shift in.

Superb reading as always fellas. Miss the days when I’d save reading this for Monday morning but had to see the city lads melting down then boiling back up again
Cardiff drew against Brighton but nobody actually went or played

I posted that a couple of hours ago, but I agree :smile:

Don’t think you can base the whole aspirations for the season and quality of the squad on the worst performance of year. I was there too and agree Spurs were fucking dreadful but as others have said, we’ve been in a bad run of form, without our two best players in Kane and Alderweireld and an important first teamer in Lamela. Eriksen and Alli are only just starting to wake up it seems. Liverpool who everyone seems to be jizzing themselves over are only a couple points ahead of us.

We won’t get top 4 like last season as I think it relies on one or two of City/Arsenal/Chelsea having poor campaigns for Spurs to sneak in.

Spurs are a good side. Will deffo win at old Trafford next week.
No anti bants either. We’re gonna have to play a strong team in the Ukraine on Thursday night and they’ll be fucked after that travelling

#339

I’d fancy our chances tbh

Compared to previous teams and managers at least this Spurs team don’t roll over against the big boys.

bookmark this for next week please lads

I’m not, I just think City are a better team.

In fairness you got quite lucky against Wham, coasted against Arsenal, and the only other notable performances (ignoring yesterday) are City and Chelsea.

#341

So playing shit but still beating West Ham and drawing at Arsenal proves what?

#342

It’s impossible to prove anything in football

#343

Exactly, it proves nothing.

#344

Arsenal comfortably beat us, but we’re top of the league.

I’m still absolutely convinced Manchester United were never a good team and nothing they can say or do could change my mind
Bloody love football me

#347

So a shit performance in the champions league proves nothing either then.

Let’s stop talking about football altogether
