(It also doesn't take into account players on loan which includes Grujic, Ojo and Wilson.)
Also which numpty said Spuds would overtake them? Spuds are gonna run out of luck soon and will be in 6th spot before their stadium opens.
Kane and Ali out till march I think. They are not in the title race. Finished 3rd in a two horse with Leicester ffsQuote:

Shaqiri due a start or two.
We are very lacklustre this season.
Firmino hasn’t been getting on the scoresheet.
Salah has scored some important goals and I was reading that he was at a similar-ish level last year in terms of goals but he hasn’t been at his game winning best minus a few penalties (or not penalties).
Mane has been as expected.
Other than that, there’s not much venom in our attack.
Fmd we are still bringing on Origi to win the game.
Id love to see us have a crack at Timo Werner.
Doing better than expected with 2 of our best out and not spending anything for about 2 years. Definitely punching above our weight, but even though you guys are trying to put us down with your statements, I would agree that we aren't genuinely in the title race.Quote:

Not putting down just stating facts. You want a trophy. Forget the league and focus on the cupsQuote:

Playing better football than Liverpool? Have you been watching their games. I'm not just bashing them because they are our rivals, but they've been extremely lucky the last few games to score winning goals. They were more likely to be 9 points behind than 5. So once their luck runs out they will need to be worried about the 3 useless teams below them finding some consistency and catching them than what Pool and City are doing.Quote:

West Ham should have banged in more goals, especially from the diabolical set piece defending.
Would absolutely agree that injuries to key midfielders arent helping them, but Fabinho and Keita were brought in as 1st team players, not squaddies. They need to be way way way better if they are to have a chance.
Look, my betting syndicate backed Liverpool pre-season to win, so im hoping it happens from a strictly financial point of view. But if i was betting now, I'd back a City/Spurs 1,2.
(mainly because the odds for reds/citeh are 1.00000000000001, so theres that).
Recent games we (Spurs) haven't created bucket loads, but have definitely been dominating the games (without playing great football, ill give you that one).Quote:

Obviously sometimes you don't end up getting one and they end up 'one of those days', and other days you get the late winners.
Sorry, I forgot form was only related to the last game a team played.....Quote:

Like the Newcastle game where you guys eeked out a win and City managed to lose.Quote:

Focus on the Cups???Quote:

Yeah because they dont know how to win clutch games. That should be their focus next season. Win a league cup and finish 6th or something better season then just making top 4Quote:

Big clubs think this way
You think Man U would rather win the FA Cup Final last season or qualify for the UCL??
Because I bet my arse they will take UCL every day of the year
Their owners maybe but proper fans always want silverware over anythingQuote:
