Seriously annoying.

Just have to use the cunts as motivation. The one advantage spurs have over us lately it seems it the ability to strike from distance. Son, Kane,Ericson et al can all hit it from distance. Against the dross, that's invaluable.

Don’t forget that Tottenham have Cardiff next, followed by a home game against the team from the Theatre of Shit. They’ve failed if they’re not at least level on points at the top by mid-January.

It would be just like us to crack this unreal City team and be done by fucking Spurs!!

Yeah, really. 

[Oh Buoy]

Doesn't matter, really. They'll drive off the cliff at the end of Feb/March.

January will be huge for spurs. 2 big semi finals against the chavs should tax their squad a bit. Lot of mental tiredness to cope with.

[bizzle10]

Yeah but this run of easy games they are on whilst their rivals play each other is giving them a really good base.

True,they also have 4out of 5 league games at home at the end of Jan, start of Feb. 

We just need to keep our heads and keep concentrating on ourselves.

I still think they’ll rest most of their big players for that, given that they’ll likely be within three points of the top at worst. They’d certainly be stupid not to, given the summer they had, the fact they are still in the CL and among the favourites for the league title. In fact, I think this run of absurdly favourable fixtures probably makes them favourites.

Hopefully the ground move will fuck them up....as well as their schedule/smaller squad.

 

But yeah all we can do is look after our own business.

 

These two games over next few days are huge...in some ways it feels typical that just as we open a lead we have two of our hardest games where we could easily come back to the pack - but on other hand 4 or 6 pts from these games and we are in a great position to kick on...

 

1 game at a time.

Bookies have them at 9/1

Yep. 

 

The fixture situation is farcical, by the way - if you can’t play at home because your stadium isn’t ready you should have to play at a neutral ground or behind closed doors. Momentum is everything and the more I look at their run of fixtures, the more I find it hard to look past them for the title.

The advantages/favours/rule bending and messing around of other clubs and fans they have benefitted from this season with this ground lark has been an absolute joke and should not be allowed.

 

I too make them favourites - there is next to no pressure on them, no expectation and as you say the fixture list is very kind.

Is Son off for a bit in early Feb?

Son, Kane, Alli and Alderweireld could miss all of February and the only game they’d have an outside chance of failing to win would be at Chelsea.

Yeah he is

 

Plus they have to go to city, chelsea and us

[polymerpunkah]

BHA up one on Everton.

 

Corner comes in, off Everton defender to otherwise offside BHA forward who tucks it in.

 

Pretty good second half so far. BHA going for it.

[El Rojo]

Newcastle up away at Watford. Rafa’s talents completely wasted there. 

[Oh Buoy]

Get another, Wolves!

[Tj hooker]

Wolves equaliser against Spurs 

[Special K]

Wolves level

[Elite]

Spurs will get a late winner.
