Nah, we let our son stay up for once and we're all as high as kites here. Good on yer, Spurs.

[El Rojo]

Just as well Jurgen and the lads aren’t as defeatist as those on here who never tire of telling us that Man City can’t be overtaken. 

[Freddo]

I reckon old guardiola is gonna lose his head you know. He always over thinks stuff. Another sloppy result and theyll well and truly shit the bed

City are very fortunate to have the points total they do. Anyone who could not perceive them dropping points simply doesn't have the capacity to see beyond a week-to-week basis: its the worst version of City in the past 5 years (toss up with last season's .. but its probably this season) and they literally only needed to lose 2 games (incl. vs ourselves) to put the title in our hands.

 

That said, if we trot either Curtis Jones/Chamberlain .. and to a much lesser extent 2 from Henderson/Milner/Keita out with any regularity in the midfield we'll be dropping a fair number of points ourselves. Keep our house in order and we have a good shot. The 1 in 3 chance the bookies have for us now probably feels accurate.

Still pissed off about that pen 

[Reckoner]

Can’t believe I missed that game. I couldn’t take another 4-0 city win with the commentary wanking over them so I went out.

[aRdja]

Kulusevski looked pretty handy, real livewire. Hojbjerg is class IMO. A Klopp type midfielder.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

There’s the issue of how much self pressure will City feel under now too. If we beat Leeds in midweek, they’ve gone from a 12 point lead down to a 3 point lead with lots of football still to be played. I wonder if that is nibbling away at them inside? That they could be viewed as bottlers if we manage to peg them back? And just the typical pressure of seeing your rival in the race coasting up just behind you. Menacingly.

They were still wanking over them while acting like it was the equivalent of Brazil losing to the Faroe Islands

[OptaJoe] 7 - Romelu Lukaku had just seven touches against Crystal Palace, the fewest in a single Premier League game for a player with 90+ minutes played since this data is available in full for the competition (2003-04). One of those touches was from kick-off in the first half. Quiet.

It just doesn't work for him at Chelsea, it didn't first time round, and nothing much has changed. I know he's supposed to be a Chelsea fan, but they just aren't for him.

 

Everywhere else he's played he's banged loads even when off form - West Brom, Shite, Manc Shite, and Inter, but he's not doing much for them.

 

If Inter weren't on their arses financially he'd have been better staying put.

 

I await his hat-trick in next Sunday's final now obviously!

chelsea played Palace with Palace unable to field one of their best players, Gallagher, because he's a chelsea loanee.

 

Some hack in the papers finally pointed out what we've know for the best part of 15 years, chelsea youths are loaned out to PL clubs so they can play against chelsea's opponents but not themselves. Gilmour at Norwich is another one.

That blow up between him and tuchel has done a lot of damage.

I reckon.

I thought it was going to be a proper 3 way fight this season.

Paul Ince has taken interim charge of Reading

The loan system has become a blatent cheat menu. Fuck Chelsea they're cheats like city.

Chelsea wrote the cheats charter

[deiseach]

My wife took a video of the sceeenes!!!! in our living room when Harry Kane (Gawd bless 'im), and amidst all the pandemonium you can hear my son shouting "curse you McDuck!" It seems he has made the connection between Pep Guardiola and Flintheart Glomgold, the antagonist in DuckTales:

From the mouth of babes...

Every single Spurs fan I know reckons Hojbjerg is shit. Every single one.

It's why they're now changing it.  Far to late though.

[Leyton388]

We win our game in hand and its down to 3 points. That will be a massive psychological blow to city as at one point they were 12 points ahead. Even though we had games in hand it was still a massive gap. 

[Gooch]

Hojberg wouldn't last 5 minutes in a Klopp system he's far too immobile. Already struggling in a Conte style pressing system as it is.

Can't stand Kane but that was honestly one of if not the best individual performance I've seen so far this season, he was fantastic.

Has Reckoner’s reverse jinxing just blown the title race wide open?

Pain in the arse that we will finally play our game in hand, only for us to immediately have a game in hand again after this weekend due to the arsenal game originally being scheduled the same day we're playing the carabao final.
