We had a lot of games like that when Poch was our manager. Start fast, miss some chances, then run out of steam RIP.

Shame.

Delighted for Leicester. They’ve been brilliant all season, and thoroughly deserve to be where they are. Proved people (myself included) predicting their downfall wrong, time and time again. I don’t really blame people for expecting a tricky season for them back in July/August last year. Nor do I really blame them for thinking they would drop off. Either way, it’s a fantastic story. Even if it is a blip, it’s the kind of thing that can give hope to fans of clubs like ours. That’s not to say I expect us to do a Leicester any time soon, but they signal that little bit of hope. If things fall into place, and you get the wind blowing your direction maybe you can do that amazing thing - which is ultimately why you support a team. It also silences those that would call anyone a dreamer for hoping (not expecting) that something like this could ever happen.

I know it may not be a popular opinion, and it isn’t somethng that gives me much joy to say, but I really like this Spurs side. There is a lot of quality there, right throughout. Lloris is excellent, we know how solid Toby is, Dier is coming on leaps and bounds, Alli is sensational (I can’t not love watching that boy play), Kane is fantastic too. Following on from being unpopular, MP is a good coach. He’s mixed it up a lot more this season than last, or he did whilst here. Still no fan of how he manufactured his move, but that doesn’t detract from the fact he is a very good coach.

I think there is an argument that he’s been one of the best things to happen to English football (I’m more pointing towards the England side/development of English talent with that) since he arrived in the country.

What I have loved about this season is that the 2 best teams occupy the 2 top spots. Not the two most expensively assembled squad of talented individuals. Good on 'em both, even if that is partly through gritted teeth.

@ KRG: Haha. I’d literally just finished reading the line of the first paragraph that ends: “something like this could ever happen” – and was thinking "why has this post not got any likes!? :lou_surprised:

Then I got to the Tottenham bit.

But to be fair, even so, a lot of what you’ve wrote, much as I fucking hate spurs and Pochetino – I still find it hard to disagree with. I’ve said pretty much the same to my Spurs supporting neighbour myself. Bunch of cunts they are – but they do play a mighty refreshing brand of football.

I loathe the club, and those that run it.

But I can’t help but like those on the pitch. For me, the England team needs to be built around Kane & Alli.

I agree, I think the yids are a joy to watch and they have one of the best managers in the game.

Lets be honest. Poch left us becaue we could not hold onto players nor offer the investmnet in a championship winning potential…

I would say it was the other way around … we lost players because he showed no desire to stay.

no way! Those players left because they wanted more money/championed league/better players to play with. They would have gone even if pochettino stayed, because he still wouldn’t have been able to offer those things.

I think there was an element of both Fatso.

You’re probably right, and some may well have left anyway – but if you remember back, a lot of those players loved playing for Pochetino, and some even started gobbing off in the press in support of him when he began stirring things behind the scenes.

If he’d have stayed, I reckon we’d have got at least another season out of some of them.

Personally think there was an element of using Poch/the situation in general as a get out.

And straight after the dropped points Poch’s head is in Paris.

Quelle Surprise there then

And a double whammy laugh at Spud Son in Law week

Tottenham totally overrun in the second half…they had 9 booked NONE sent off??..Dier and several others lucky to be on the pitch at the end of the game.

Well done Leicester…let’s hope it’s a portent of things to come…the top 4 cartel broken up leaving more competitive and exciting Premier League campaigns to come. :lou_lol:
