Of course there aren't - no one's heard of Tottenham outside this country, a few Dempsey/Friedel-era fans in the US and some in South Korea.

Much like City he takes the title back to back just edging out DuckSauce's Arsenal by just a couple of points. Thanks for making me relive yesterday.

As soon as payment details are confirmed I will send the £ to the winner.

On a sidenote I think I have settled all my bets. Gg this season lads - I was a perfect donator to the community experience with distributing lots of money and taking none.lol
Received, thx mate

Sick for city to not win a single game vs pool/arse and still win the title.
You had it in your own hands.

If anything, Arsenal went at the Ethiad and parked the bus begging for a 0-0 as if they were Sheffield. Easy to say but getting a draw was ~neutral for their title equity (considering liverpool were still in it at that time) whereas a win would have been a big boost in equity but they never went for it in that game. If I was a spurs fan, i'd be tempted to say "losers mentality"

Nah I think its the mentality mate.

Although he is somewhat right. If you dont do it by any means necessary you dont want it enough.

If we dont breach like 50 ffp rules this summer we are an unserious club.

16-1-1. No loss against a rival. Think if this one game is what it determined what mentality we have then I'll leave it with the experts.

3 years ago banter club that will not get top4 for a while, now loser mentality for going for a draw against City at their turf, never winning the league like this. The trajectory is insane and long may it continue.

Although I do not want to take a massive dump on the huge achievement we (Arsenal) have made this season I do feel we ran hotter than the sun when it came to injuries.




Not as much as City but the fact Timber was out the whole season does inflate our number a little.

That said in the age where there are more goals being scored due to longer matches our defensive record was mad! I do fear to win the league we are going to need to sun run injuries again and City have Rodri out for most of the season

I don't think the players wanted to lose, most of them have pretty heavy financial incentives not to (nobody outside of the club knows for sure, but it's heavily suggested that our pay structure is very performance bonus based). Like a) I'm ~100% sure Son is on a goal bonus, b) he's not a Spurs fan, and c) he's a professional so can't see him missing that chance on purpose.

There's been a lot of full Le Tissiering on it.

You captained Saka and had Isak on your bench.

Not quite sure how many girlfriends/parents have left you for Spurs fans that drives you to be like this, but you get your own opinions - you don't get your own facts.

Not that I quite understand why, but the fan groups in the US go *way* beyond "a few Dempsey/Friedel-era fans" (I've lived in 3 US cities, each of which has a Spurs fan club with a ton of "young" members, and NYC now has *3*). I've also watched with fanclubs in ~8 other US cities aside from those three.

I've also watched with groups of Spurs fans in India, Ireland, Australia and Canada (and not all of them from the Stalteri era!), and numerous other fans I know have watched with fan groups all over Asia / Africa.

Arsenal have been the better team for ~85% of my life, that should be enough for you to enjoy.

Think noone can argue this and I doubt it can repeat. Squad depth will be really important if you want to compete with City.

Partey can't play more than 15 games, Elneny is going. We will need midfield depth.


A striker and who knows what depending on who we sell.

Simple - it's called having lived in various parts of North London for a long time and seeing how people behave. No one expects you to understand this from thousands of miles away though, but talking about facts, don't tell me about what happens in my home city. Some groups of fans become quite unpleasant when their club keeps failing (even to each other on occasion).

I lived in North London or thereabouts for 27 years. Not that this is relevant to you claiming nobody has heard of Spurs (when there are hundreds of fan clubs around the globe).

But it has the virtue of being true.

Oooh, 27 years you say?

If Tottenham are so popular around the globe perhaps you can explain why so few players are likely to be Spurs fans (which was the original point I responded to, just before you thought it wise to personalise things)?

The same reason they're unlikely to be fans of any given club. There are a lot of clubs out there. On top of that most people from football playing countries support teams in their own country.

Spurs are incredibly well supported club in England but pick a random English man they're miles more likely not to be a Spurs fan than to be one. Even pick someone from North London they're more likely not to be a Spurs fan than be one.

It's ok to be wrong occasionally people won't think less of you

Pretty poor reply that fails to explain why Tottenham have fewer (if any) players who are fans compared with other PL clubs.

The lack of Tottenham fans in most of Europe and Africa (where overseas PL players are mainly drawn from) does explain it in a very obvious way, despite what you'd have us believe. To people in those continents they're mostly a club who appear sometimes on a screen playing a bigger club, and that they don't give a hoot about.

**** knows how those figures are calculated. Could probably stick a 2 on the front of our games missed column alone. Egan has been out since September, Basham since October, Jebbison made his season debut on Sunday, Brewster's missed at least half the season, McBurnie has had multiple injuries, Norrington-Davies and Lowe have both missed huge parts of the season to the extent we needed to make an emergency loan right at the end of August,Baldock's played two games this calendar year, Grbic missed at least a couple with concussion, Ahmedhodzic has missed games, Robinson's missed at least a couple, Archer was out for a couple of months, Tom Davies has barely played since we signed him...

Did Southgate clean forget that Pope is fit again? Why has he gone for 2 keepers who can’t get in their club sides?

Worst omission of the lot, for me.
