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.
I agree, I think the yids are a joy to watch and they have one of the best managers in the game.
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.
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.
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.
I would have loved for Leicester to have won it next week in front of their own fans, and more importantly, get their Guard of Honour at Stamford Bridge, in front of the man who sacked Ranieri from Chelsea as he didn’t think he “had the gravitas” to ever win the Premier League Title.
Not to be, but never mind. I’m just a sucker for a little ‘universal irony’ and poetic justice.
Fair play to Leicester. Can’t help thinking that could/should have been us if we’d managed to get our shit together consistently enough to build on last season – but a sore loser I am not. Well done to them, they deserve it for being the most consistent side all season.
Absolutely fantastic achievement by Leicester!!! Spurs showed a complete lack of class though and I am amazed that they had no one sent off. Even Poch dived onto the pitch and got amongst it. North London Yobbos indeed!!!
What a sensational last 30 minutes that game was last night, it had everything. And for me came right after Game of Thrones! Drama on drama!!
Obviously huge congratulations to Leicester but also a tinge of regret, couple of times recently we had crazy dream starts in the EPL but not one of us believed it was possible to go all the way; when maybe it could have been done - so no regrets on that, just more kudos to Tinkerman, he made the World believe not just his players.
What I am having a smirk about today is that in ANY other season, Spurs would have been the darlings of the planet,
To have them challenging the “Big 4” would have been a GLOBAL story on it’s own (as it was with Liverpool pushing for the title when Stevie G was not slipping over).
The fact that Spurs became the Evil Guys in the whole story instead of the heroes makes it so much sweeter!
