It’s a good job Spurs have tied Poch to a long contract.

They’ll get more money for him when he fucks off to a bigger outfit in the summer.

Sensible transfer dealings there :lou_lol:

Look, most of this season is already in the can for the Hollywood mega movie.

So order the popcorn now, because we all know how Hollywood love a sequel.

Leicester vs Atletico in the UCL Final next May anyone?

Drive on TalkSHITE could be entertaining tonight. Looks like the master troll has cast his line in preparation:

Disgraceful Tottenham looked like a bunch of drunks at Stamford Bridge - they got exactly what they deserved

Spurs looked like a bunch of drunks at Stamford Bridge. It looked like they turned up after a day out on the Bank Holiday lash, launching into Sunday pub football style fouls and butchery disgracing he name of Tottenham Hotspur.

Yes Spurs have done well this season, but that Spurs side at Chelsea was so unprofessional they reminded me of Gazza in the 1991 FA Cup final, who was stretchered off before he was sent off.

Eden Hazard’s brilliant finish was a poke in the eye for Spurs, who responded with the filthiest 10 minutes of the season so far.

Tottenham, famous for so long for delivering wonderful football, turned into a team of thugs – they kept up with the Vinnie Joneses.

Thank God Dele Alli wasn’t playing because the young tearaway would have got himself properly involved in the mix. Who knows what kind of ban he would have ended up with if he’d been let loose on that brawl.

And Michel Vorm got involved after the final whistle, just in case anyone had forgotten he was at Spurs. He’s the reserve keeper in case you’re wondering.

And make no mistake, Spurs have failed this season. Yes better than they have been in the past. Yes they may still finish above Arsenal – not guaranteed yet of course. And yes there is reason to be positive about the future. Small consolation. This could be Spurs’ best chance gone, and they should be focused on making sure that doesn’t happen.

Here’s the harsh reality for Spurs: they finished below Leicester. Imagine what Spurs fans would say if you’d suggested that at the start of the season.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino (left) steps onto the pitch to separate Danny Rose and Willian

A manager who was a total and utter flop with the Greece national team arrived at Leicester and won the title in his first season at a club with no hope of ever winning it. That puts Pochettino’s ‘achievement’ this season into perspective.

It’s classic Spurs: they’ve cornered the market when it comes to dressing up heroic failure as success. They’ve taken it to the extreme this season, and topped it off by becoming an 11-man UFC team at Chelsea, although quite how they kept 11 men on the field is anyone’s guess.

After Hazard equalised, Spurs needed to attack. They physically attacked the Chelsea players, and forgot to attack the Chelsea goal – they got nowhere near it.

Nine bookings, there could easily have been 2 possibly 3 red cards, and the manager jumped onto the pitch to get into the mix.

Spurs were a disgrace. They got what they deserved in the title race. They looked like a pub team in the second half at Stamford Bridge.

Was very entertaining having a little listen last night, Spurs fans crying about Chelsea and how sad it was they celebrated stopping them winning the league. Whilst, more often than not, celebrating finishing above Arsenal in the same breath without a hint of irony.

That was the best game of the season srs. It had all the things I like about football: Leg break tackles, crowding round the ref, eye-gouges, stamps, elbows, diving, cheating, manager on the pitch, punch up in the tunnel it was a Classic.

I still reckon that anyone who regularly puts £20 on 5000-1 shots could be a hundred grand down before one comes in.

We always here about the winnings, rarely about the losses…

so I am already bored with the news coverage about Leicester winning. When will I be able to watch/read the news again without a mention?

This is unprecedented intiniki. Once this has died down expect much punditry and analysis from the very people that wrote them off for relegation, probably with wanky titles like “The Leicester Effect”. Football Weekly did a piece on how Leicester’s form went up and down in the periods where Richard III was buried, interned and then re-buried. I would expect that to be in the inevitable Hollywood film, which probably won’t feature their raucous partying from the start of the season.

In short, you’re doomed, love.

Wise words from Claudio that the likes of Lallana should have heeded…Mane may benefit from the advice too.

“But if one of my players says to me, ‘I want to go there’, I try to keep him. If you go away you don’t know what happens, here you are the king.”

sorry, fuck knows how to get this linked… :lou_facepalm_2:

On MOTD2 the other night, the pundits were all talking about what we could do if we’d held a team together, whereas the show (and football pundits in general) are usually talking about what bigger clubs these players _should _be at.

That is a small but encouraging change.

The knock-on effect must be that going to the big 4/5 is no guarantee of honours or Champions’ League football anymore.

Previously it was a no brainer.

So it should be easier for Leicester and probably West Ham to hang onto their players this summer, even though Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal are in need of major rebuilds.

If we could get two of them interested in Mane we could be quids-in this summer.

£49m for Sterling, £32m for Benteke??

Let’s start an auction.

Goatboy and I were chatting Benteke down the pub. If Pelle goes, and he’s available at a bargain price, might be someone to look at.

You can be a King on £30k pw or a prince on £100k pw. They will lose two or three (Kante, Mahrez and Schmeichel)

And that is the problem… because ‘agents’ get 15% - and greed wins out.

Would you not take him at Long prices?

I’d have benteke, without any doubts. Happy for us to spend £16m on him.

What are the odds on them getting relegated next year -

I’m not overly convinced on him to be honest but at Long prices, that is ~£10m, I would probably take a punt.
