English Football 2016-2017: NOW WITH 100% LESS FANERIO - Page 1302 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Can't lie and pretend the Chelsea loss wasn't totally devastating. I want a trophy with this core desperately, and that was obv our best chance. If we don't catch Chelsea we have to find form at Wembley next year. If nothing having there we have to count on everyone being here another 2 years. UNLIKELY. By Core I mean Kane, Ericksen, Verts, Toby, Hugo.......actually **** it I love all of our preferred 11 so ****ing much I want them all to win. GAH.

Assuming we don't win the league, then clearly we need to change something if we do want to win it. Not sure where the clear areas for improvement are, would guess creativity around the box? On top of Eriksen we need someone else I think.

I'm not. I'm a Spurs fan who cut his teeth in the 1990s. If we were 9 points ahead with 3 games to go and ahead by 25 goals in GD I'd still think we were likely to **** it up.

Spurs can be so Spursy that we might one day win the league and Arsenal will still finish above us.

The upcoming Palace game looks scary on several levels..do we have a letdown after the FA Cup loss? Will Palace continue to improve after plopping Plop?

Interestingly, the markets don't seem to share my trepidation..Spurs are still solid favourites for winning at Selhurst Park..

-170 is a bit steep. I think maybe -150. Vigtastic.

Spent the weekend hiking in the mountains with my g/f. Looks like I picked a pretty sweet game to miss - watching us lose with a FPS line-up would have been super tilting.

You need to get your priorities right. Safe the mountain hike for when the football season is over and there's **** all on in the summer.

Also happy Day 1 of the Punchestown festival!

8bus - here is a history lesson. The clip below encapsulates what Manchester City were for decades before the Arabs turned up. So have a think about this the next time you are on here whining about Guardiola taking the jam out of your doughnut by picking one quality player over another.
