And I thought we were bad at defending....Spurs are a close 2nd....there is hope for us in mid-week against Spurs yet

Saw a Spurs fan on reddit moaning about our disallowed goal last night as now they can no longer catch Villa with their two games in hand. As if they genuinely thought they'd get 6 points from us and Arsenal.

There's no fan, pundit or commentator that will change my mind about Havertz being sh*t

How is this Spurs team 5th

100/1 for the Spurs win now !

LOL

16/1 for 6-0 looks tempting 🙂

Really good start to the season under a new manager and now that they tactics have been found out they're easy to play against

but somehow Arteta has turned him into a goalscoring machine..what's he got now 12/13?   Could end up with 20 by year end...guess our style of football when he was here didn't help.  

A few boos from the Tottenham faithful. Brilliant!!!!

Always felt they’ve been punching above their weight despite people telling me they have better players than us.

In all competitions he's still on less goals than he got for us in 21/22

Probably should have stayed that they're easy to beat if you have a tactically competent manager, unfortunately we don't.

If the table was done on xPTS they'd be 10th (and we'd be 5th). United would be 15th 🙂 

Basically the Tottenham keeper has done well, conceding fewer goals than expected from the chances he's faced (i.e. the opposite of Petrovic), and they have Son to score a few goals that our lot would miss ... 

Fat Ange getting spanked 

Should have had a fourth there.

Too much variance in xPTS to be taken too seriously. 

A Sanchez / Mendy type error by Raya let's Spurs back in it. Another slice of luck goes Tottenham's way. 

De Zerbi's Brifgton losing again and yet still think he would be an improvement on Pochettino! 

That was pretty funny. Also why is the centre-back pressing the keeper?

A draw would be perfect imo. Dents Spurs CL hopes, dents Arsenals title bid.

Won't happen unless VAR make it happen, and looks like they are on Arsenals side.

Tbf they’ve been on the beach for weeks. I do agree though De Zerbi too much of a risk. 

Am I the only one who would much rather Arse won the league than City?

 

I get there's a rivalry there, but seriously if this carries on City will end up the most successful club ever and in a longer time no body will know remember or care how it was done it'll just be there. 

Would much rather see Arsenal do it. 

I absolutely hate the EPL turning into the French German or Scottish league,  with city winning it every single season by hoovering up all the best. Players.

Yes

Honestly, just can't bear seeing the same team win it over and over. 

 

Liverpool bottled it and I have far more annoying memories of them in the 00s.

That better be a pen
