So you don't care if Liverpool equal our record this season by winning it for 20th time ? We were supporting City the last 2 seasons to prevent that from happening.
Last season maybe but the damage is done now. It's small time to say "oh I would so prefer them to win the league!!!". I genuinely don't care anymore. I cared the season city done them with 97 points as dirty as it felt, but no, not anymore.
It seems like you're implying I should want Tottenham to win games of football right now??? I don't think so!
I was just replying on the point of not caring who will the league if not us. The damage isn't done yet to not care about Liverpool winning it again. They still didn't equal our record with the the league won last year. I would definitely prefer any other team snatching it this one, not just Spurs. Chelsea, City, Leicester anyone, literally if it's not us.
Agreed. I'd take it further and say that damage is never done.
even if Spurs are saying it will be dealt with internally, that’s not good enough.
I think they should also be banned and fined heavily. Totally unacceptable and avoidable. There is absolutely no excuse and I'm sure they would of been briefed on the rules via there respected clubs.
Granted there's a rule being broken, but it's a bit silly in this case, you could argue.
Read that again and have a quiet word with yourself mate.Granted there's a rule being broken, but it's a bit silly in this case, you could argue.
It's the families of PL players together, but any 'transmission' is absolutely unaffected - each player will still have had interaction with their families, and would have interacted with each other in close proximity regardless. All of which are London-based.
So yeah, broken a lockdown rule, but it's a technicality more than anything actually 'harmful' as such (in theory).
It's a completely different set of circumstances to having a public party, or attending one, or mixing with players from different countries/parts of the country, as is rumoured to have happened with the City/Fulham lads, or Salah.
"The longest ban possible"
KDB, Son and Grealish are also in the mix
Have not watched much of City this season and my personal opinion (don't shoot me) is that Son is not at that level despite being a fine player, Grealish I agree with although probably won't happen unless they get top 4 at least. Either way it feels great to have one of the front runners for that award again other than our goalkeeper.
Stand still while I shoot you
Eh. I'm not sure you understand the regulations and tier system if I'm honest after reading that.Granted there's a rule being broken, but it's a bit silly in this case, you could argue.

The issue being, that is being missed, is that the 'mixing' isn't really 'mixing' is it? The same guys would be sat next to each other in training, on a bus, in the dressing room, on the pitch. They would immediately go home to their families and mix with them too.
I don't think de Bruyne's anywhere near POTS level this season, his stats are still good but not really outstanding when compared to the other contenders.
the fact that you are still arguing shows you have zero comprehension of the issue.
Maybe not in best form yet, but he’s still world class and there’s over half a season to go.
*by beating Arsenal
De Bruyne had a slow start but still 3 goals and 8 assists is pretty good, and as people have stated we are at the halfway mark. Kane, Grealish, Bruno the stand outs with Kane edging it for me at the halfway point.
Jose is still trying to mold the team and looking for the right combinations I think, we are not the finished article yet. Totally agree with you on being far too passive in some games which has cost us.
Its the absolute wummery of it all, "Spurs never win ANYTHING" is the cry, then when we are in a final its "Sure its just the League Cup", its gonna be a tough final either way so we have won bugger all yet, but if we win it I will be emmensly proud of the team and quite honestly couldn't give a shit what other fans think.
Anybody that says the League cup doesn't matter is deluded. There are a maximum of 4 trophies to go for at the start of a season. Any trophy is a massive achievement. Sure, it's the lowest of the 4 but even so it's still huge to win.
He cops a lot of flack on here but I think overall he has been average. He has 4 goals in 554 mins of play across all comps(Cups, Europa, EPL), sure not great, but a better return for mins invested than Moura, Bergwyn, Lamela, whoever else Spurs have in that position. For example Moura has around 5 goals in over 800mins of play. Bergwyn 0 goals and 1 assist in around 900mins, but both players put in a much better defensive shift than Bale.
You need a CB sure, but I do think a different manager could make an N'Dombele-LoCelso-Hojbjerg midfield sing.
Lo celso has been injured most of the season so Jose hasn't yet had the chance to make them sing either. Perhaps we wait till they are all fit before using that against him?
Yesterday was the first game that he looked something like his old self. Obviously need to take the opposition into account but he was actually running at the defenders and beating them, scored a decent goal and had a few more opportunities that he should've done better with. Still a way to go but showed some signs of life at least.
Do they need a CB? Im not so sure it is a dire need, Dier, Sanchez, Alderweireld as the experienced CB's, with Rodon and Tanganga as the young backups being 23 and 21 respectively. Granted Im not so sure about Sanchez, feel for the amount of time he has been at Spurs his progression has been slow? Alderweireld not getting any younger but still has a year or two in him. But Rodon at 23 should be pushing for a first team spot next season once he has settled into Spurs/EPL life.
Sanchez will probably be gone in the summer, his first season was promising but since then he's regressed if anything. He's better suited in a high line where he can use his pace to recover but playing deep exposes his flaws as a pure defender. The writing was on the wall for him when Jose came in but to be fair to Jose he's given Sanchez more than enough chances but he just hasn't been very good. Alderweireld is already being phased out but is a reliable player to have in reserve, we will see on Thursday but Rodon may have moved ahead of him already. Dier is first choice and has been "good" this season but I think good is all he'll ever be, he has too limitations stopping him from being any better. A signing there is on the cards I reckon but not sure who. I think someone like Vestergaard would be perfect for a Jose team but whether Spurs would spend the amount needed to sign a player who will be 29 by that point is debatable, he does only have 18 months left on his deal though so maybe.
