It was last night in an adjoining street, nothing to do with the football. If you’ve ever been to a Spurs game it’s not the greatest area round the ground.

Big games are Man United and Tottenham away I guess, although Man City and Liverpool also have Tottenham fixtures. I see some pundits writing Arsenal off but they aren't exactly slowing down.

Recent results: 3-3, 1-0, 2-4, 3-2, 1-0 Goals for/against: 10/9 GD: +1 PPG: 2 Given their ‘Spursy’ reputation, you may well be shocked to find Tottenham top of this particular pile. But the Lilywhites have been simply sensational across their last five league meetings with City, winning three of them and losing just once. They’ve averaged two points per game, which 0.8 more than any other team, while they’re the only side to enjoy a positive goal difference across our given time period. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been Pep Guardiola’s bogey ground, failing to score at Spurs’ new ground in the Premier League. However, they did end the hoodoo in the FA Cup, thanks to a late winner from Nathan Ake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Arsenal smashing utd, utd give so much away and every time I watch them they look as tho they could concede 4/5 goals. Poor finishing and luck seems to save them from conceding more. Atm, Arsenal will be looking forward to playing Utd. Edited April 7 by Bazzas right boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Spurs it would appear are going to have a big say on who may end up as the champions of England. They are chasing a Fourth place finish and therefore champions league football themselves. They of course would take great satisfaction in denying their North London rivals Arsenal. In recent seasons they have been a spanner in the spokes of Man City. Their record at Anfield is woeful, and Liverpool will most certainly want to right what they perceive as a big injustice at the Spurs stadium earlier this season. Yes Spurs could be both the King makers and King breakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton should have had their first points deduction last season. Which would have relegated them. Meanwhile Leicester being in Championship will get their likely points deduction next season after also benefitting from their massive overspending.

Seymour M Hersh Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 If they (the EPL/FA want to deter this sort of rule breaking then make the sentences draconian.

I hate the term "Financial Doping" because its what Hibs fans cried and cried about with us, however, its an apt enough description. If you cannot live within your means and are overspending to compete, then you are financially doping... basiclaly cheating and perhaps if it was treated as such then it would be a firm enough stance to stop the nonsense. They need to get wage caps involved. Clubs are being backed by literal ****ing nations now, and thats beyond the pale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
