The foxes will break top 4 potentially. Man U and Arsenal are going to slip out of top 6. Poor squads and coaches and not showing any signs of a plan or improvement.

Man United, whom i love mocking relentlessly for having two of the worst players currently in the EPL in their squad (Ashley "can't tackle, pass, cross or think" Young and Jesse "at 26 he's still treated like an up and coming player even tho he has already played 117 EPL games and scored a measily 17 goals whilst playing for one of the biggest clubs in England". But they have an equal or better squad then Chelsea and an equally mediocre manager. So to be confident of them dropping out of the 6 ahead of you guys is a bit much. Especially knowing that they can strengthen mid season and you guys cannot. They can control games already, they just can't score goals. Add in a decent Striker in January and they will come good in the new year.
As for Arsenal, we are playing terrible football but have still only lost once this season, to Liverpool, and have 3 out of 4 of our starting backline returning to fitness and our No 1 striker out injured. Our worst is still a level above your best right now.
Spuds won't miss out on the 6, but have won 19 points from the last 17 games they are probably getting close to sacking Poch. Hopefully they fully embrace their mediocrity and somehow slide down to 5th. Id be happy for Leicester to finish 4th if it pushes Spuds to the Europa League.
as a life long Lester fan of about 4 years now i feel credentialed enough to call them liverpool lite in that they can put 6 on Spurs but lose to Palace away all in the same week.
Top 6 would be achievable but top 4? not sure.
Think it will be (in no order) Citeh, Liverpool, Arsenal and United. But Spurs/Lester/Chelsea will be close.
the only change is if Pogba finally gets out of there and id swap Spurs into the top 4. Pogbas bad games are still better than anything any of those other dudes can conjure up.
We have better young players and a better midfield then United. Arsenal well your just going to do Arsenal things, So nothing to worry aboutQuote:

That's a big call. Fact of the matter is Spurs are now the kings of London.Quote:

We've had to change tactics hugely to accommodate a terrible defence and no focal point in attack. Yet at our worst for a long time we are still ahead of the other 3. Out backline is about to come together. Holding and Tierney should be back in a week and then Bellerin is a another week or two away. Once they are back and we continue to play poorly I'll start to worry.

OK I can't take it anymore. What's everyone's beef with Spurs?
Harry Kane is the most overrated player in the world.Quote:

All their gun kids from a few years back are trash and garbage but everyone still craps on about them all the while Foden and Sancho are 1000x better but no one cares.
Their old stadium was trash.
Their new stadium is still in the same trash part of London.
They suffer from the same delusion that Liverpool fans did for a long time in that because they once won something they were a big club. At least Liverpool realised that and are doing something about it.
Harry Kane sucks.
On the positive side, at least Piers Morgan hates you which means you must be on the right side of something.
i dont dislike Spurs though, but cmon. This shit is funny as ****. 7-2. goodness me.
Harry Kane legit sucks though.
130 goals in 185 PL games.... He must be the luckiest or flukiest human on earth according to you?Quote:

My point is Auba is carrying you. If he gets a long term injury Arsenal will finish below Man U on the table & I think Man U will finish 7th this seasonQuote:

I don't have a beef with Spurs. I think they'll finish Top 4.Quote:

I feel like I don't need to explain why I know Spuds are not so good. If needed I can write an extensive list, but at this point I don't think it's necessary.
is that goals or pens or goals scored by teammates that he claims anyway?Quote:

ima give you a chance to sit yo ass down on this cause theres many more if you want them.
All I know is since the end of last year your competitive results have been WDLDWDLLWL which is more losses than wins and the same amount of draws as wins. Or 3 wins in 10 competitive matches. I am sorry that I'm not sure which way you would rather it shown.Quote:

For full disclosure and to save you the hassle of googling, I will format the Arsenal results in a similar nature for you to compare and make whatever judgements you are more than welcome to: WWLDDWWWD which is more wins than draws than losses, or 5 wins in 9 competitive matches.
As you will see above, these are just facts without judgement.
One thing I would like to point out as an observation though is it is interesting for someone so keen on referencing Woolwich as often as he can, I will have to trust your judgement in calling Sp*rs the new guy in town and respect this is fact from now.
On a personal level I took great delight in Serge Gnabry's "North London is Red" comment :rof:
You get that on the big jobs.
Just to confirm, the losses were against: Newcastle, Leicester, Colchester, Bayern.Quote:

Spuds are the most overrated team out of the 6 and no matter what happens will always be loved by the pundits. Hence why other clubs fans lover seeing them lose, just to watch the English media somehow spin it into a positive for them. Pochettino has the exact amount of trophies as he deserves, he is a good coach. But he hasn't done anything spectacular.
United are still using the Fergie excuse almost a decade later rather than just admitting they are a very poorly run club. They spend money, it doesn't work, they change coaches, it doesn't work, they employ former players, it doesn't work. Woodward is the issue but as long as he is making money, they aren't getting rid of him.
Chelsea have about 35 fans across the globe and yet still act like they are a big club. Fortunately for us they don't have enough history to stay relevant when the trophies dried up, they'll be the new Everton in no time and Roman will sell them.
Arsenal are perfect and there's pretty much nothing that anyone can say bad about them.
The dismount.Quote:

Kane plays for Spurs whilst both Henry and Aguero played for the best teams of their era.Quote:

Jog on.
You just wrote down a bunch of TV pundits they prob never even played smh.Quote:

So did they make the teams great or did their great play make the team?Quote:

Also, this is the whitest thing anyone has ever said to me so ummm thanks I guess.Quote:

Dunster gonna come out soon and define his recent history as somewhere straight after fire got invented.
So should I have clarified it as Premier League Era?Quote:

Anything prior to this is before my time and therefore does not matter (which includes all of my own clubs trophies)
Last time I looked at Wikipedia it says Mark Bridge scored the goal that won us the Grand Final. Also Kane has never left Spurs for more money unlike that mercenary moron John Griffin or whatever the **** his name is.Quote:
