That's only really the style of 3/20 teams. City, Liverpool and Spurs. The rest tend to play 'park the bus' or a version thereof. I'd suggest his first priority is to get consistently good results against the weaker teams, that will at least put them back in contention for CL qualification.

Probably not a big deal. "Abramovich’s visa is thought to have expired in April while he was out of the country, and he has not tried to enter Britain since. His new application would have to be made from abroad, probably Russia, which means he will be subject to slightly more rigorous...

The following are facts about Pochettino's Spurs. 2015-16: Conceded least goals in PL 2016-17: Conceded least goals in PL 2017-18: Conceded 3rd least goals in PL (whilst playing 38 'away' games).

No. A draw at home against Brighton, who have nothing to play for, is the maximum you need.

Absolutely. And congratulations to them for knocking Chelsea out of the Champions League on the same day. Some feat!

Phew. That's the season done then for all but Liverpool and Chelsea. Maybe see you in CL again next year!

Hmmm, an interesting contribution there.

This sets up an interesting situation. They could end up as CL finalists and not even qualify for next year's competition. Or they could win it (and if Arsenal win EL) then Chelsea could finish 4th and end up in Europa.

Well, hopefully it all goes well. Only time will tell. At least when some clubs were throwing the PL TV £millions at inflated transfer fees, we decided instead to build a £1bn stadium, training facilities and player lodge; and to focus on youth development. Some fans might have preferred we...

One of the 10 richest clubs in world football. Player wages are less than 50% of turnover. Net average spend of just £400k on transfers over last five years (less than Burnley, Huddersfield and Stoke). Huge TV revenues for playing in PL. High attendance at matches etc. Spurs are not poor. This...

There's a 10 year agreement with NFL to play a minimum of 2 games a year at the stadium, with a view to the possibility of having London based NFL team play all of their games there in future. The grass pitch sits over the artificial turf, and when there's a non-football event on then the pitch...

Our new Football / NFL stadium coming along. Outside almost done. Just need a roof, seats (heated), pitch (x2), brewery, bar (86m long), cheese room (that's right!?) and fixtures and fittings etc now.

City played rather well there. A fourth loss in a row was always a long shot. They were up for this. City playing well + Spurs not so much = City win. Simple equation. Ah well, 3rd / 4th place it is then.

Not a penalty. Outside the area. 1-2. Not sure how this goes 2nd half.

Their fans that live in and around Manchester aren't so bad. Especially the older guys. They're a bit more realistic and can remember (or they've been told by their dads etc) about how **** they used to be pre-Fergie. It's the new 'Facebook' fans that tend to be the problem - but I guess that...

PL clubs vote against VAR for next season. Result!

I do like to have the odd chuckle, that's true. You're very perceptive, perhaps I subconsciously dislike them more than I thought.

The Arsenal / Spurs rivalry is intense when we play each other. Outside of that it's more important to Arsenal fans than it is to Spurs'. Check any Spurs blog for mentions of Arsenal vs how many times Spurs are mentioned in the Arsenal web-sphere. There's a noticeable difference. We also have...

Sometimes it's about the journey as well as the destination, and see post #2457. P.S. No one cares about Arsenal.

It looks that way. We're going to have a real game in the FA Cup Semi-Final against Utd (sort of at home). Would like to see City stumble a little on to the end of the season - even though the PL is 99.9% guaranteed - and hope that carries on into the start of next year.
