If we'd have beaten them at thir place as we should we'd be above them

Yeah you've rehabilitated yourself. 🙂

The more I look at Spurs games and their form, the more I think they are a legitimate title contender. They are beating teams they should be beating, multiple players are popping up and scoring goals. They have the best form among the top 3. This summer while we were mucking about, they added a good striker in Adebayor, a top keeper in Friedel and an energizer bunny midfielder and leader in Parker.

I suspect the key to how they can compete is how Redknapp keeps his head and resists Ferguon's mind games down the stretch.
Oh, by the way, Spurs' season is not a surprise. They have been working towards this for the last 3 or 4 years, while we've been working on destroying our team.

they are where we were 5 years ago. after all his bleating about rivals having bigger resources, wenger will look like a mug if spurs finish higher than 3rd

Indeed.
They still have to play all the top sides away and Utd at home, they'll lose heaps more 6 pointers.

oh and iI dont think 'arry would handle mind games too well. he seems to be hyper-sensitive to negative media scrutiny

😆 And with good reason too.

it's hard not to like any of the top 3. they've clearly separated themselves from the chasing pack. and when you watch them play, it's obvious that they are better, my friend.

(Cough) ahem (shuffles awkwardly).

Biggus, my man. This year is the sum of all fears. Chamakh, Spurs, Walcott, Squillaci, no Fabregas and Nasri replacements. It's really happening

The last 5 years have been the sum of all fears for me.....But one of Murphys laws say: It can always get worse. 🙁

I like the part where we all laugh at Tottenham.

Should just rename the thread "Let's all wank over Tottenham". It's disgraceful.

To be fair, I think a lot of it is folk mentally preparing for finishing below them.

Pissing wenger

Urgh, did not read that the first time.

Anyway.

Tottenham are the first Premier League team to concede 1000 goals in the competition.

Excellent stat that.

Is there any chance Harry will get sent to prison?
Probably not.

kabouls attempts to impersonate baresi are worthy of this thread

Lennon runs funny. He looks like a cartoon.

😆 Parker's look in that picture is the best thing I've seen this weekend. You'd think he'd be used to disappointment by now with a career like that.

😆
It's my favourite thing about that pic as well.

'Frimpong blows kisses at spurs crowd as he goes off'

😆

great pic. how are we so far behind these fuckwits? frimpong did his part today, now the rest of the team needs to step up tomorrow

Glory Glory is down as well 😆 That lot can't take a draw at home to Wolves...

This would be a whole lot funnier if we hadn't done the exact same thing two weeks ago.

@ Y va, are you going to post a picture of every opposition team celebrating scoring against Tottenham? 😆

Nothing wrong with that Y va!

Not at all, you might start a venerable tradition.

Hadn't considered it Biggus, but if the goal celebration marks the moment some misery was inflicted on Spurs it's worth posting I guess 🙂

My spurs supporting mates were a little less buoyant today. They recon they'll fall short now.

"don't be silly" I says "you'll win the league"

Want the expectation and pressure to crush them

Exactly.
They've had it easy flying under the radar until now.
They'll fold, Harry's already back pedalling and talking down their chances.

Yeah, belief can be a double edged sword. If the Spurs' players believe they can win the title indeed, it can get some incredible performances out of them, but, the belief can kill all other desire if it takes a beating through a few unfavourable results that put them in their place.

We have been on the cusp a number of times in the last few seasons but unfortunately we have only ended up imploding that letting the belief carry us.

They didn't get their customary week long's rest and look what's happened.

We shouldn't laugh at Spurs because we're finishing below them for sure. Even if Wenger buys Goetze and Hazard this month, it's all too late.
