    At least you can put Leicester winning the league down to once in a generation, stars aligning, Satan taking a year off weirdry. Oddly it seems more difficult to do that for Spurs, given how they've built the team in the last few years.

    But still, Spurs winning the league? Spurs?! Thank God Everton are still shit.

    Spurs aren't winning shit, so their fans can celebrate finishing second in the league like they've just won their fifth Champions League trophy in a row.

    A few months back I thought Spurs would win it because I thought Leicester would buckle, but they haven't at all. And they'll take enough points from the games they have left.

    So Arsenal fans please, get a grip of yourself. The fear is embarrassing.

    You maybe right about this season but I personally think they are a real problem for us now and won't be going away, they are almost the opposite of us, they have a fixed team with a fixed system whilst we experiment playing players all over the place without a plan or a system.

    It will be interesting to see how they fare with a stronger Chelsea, City, Liverpool and possibly Man Utd kicking around too. We know at least we have been able to slog around underwhelmingly slog around in 3/4th. What they have to look out for are the vultures coming in to take away their best players in the next season or two, the manager also. British players are well known to be mercenaries, so Utd/City/Chelsea can still pick them off yet. They are building a strong base but are still a selling club, especially with the big stadium project going through.

    Either way, talking about crying, or not watching our team again if they win the league is pretty sad.

    We found it difficult to keep our best players because 3rd/4th was our ceiling. Spurs are in a position we haven't been in for 12 years and if the perception is that they are now genuine challengers every year, their transition will be a lot smoother than ours was because they're a better team.

    Also with the TV deal and now CL money, they won't experience the same level of financial strain as we did either.

    Spuds and Leicester aren't great teams. They are very well organised teams filled with players who are prepared to work for a living. As much as it sticks in the throat, they are the two teams most deserving of being where they are this season and either (gulp) would be a worthy champion. West Ham have shown similar dedication, but as for the "big" clubs, all their precious little darling players have been shown up as the spoilt and privileged brats they have become. Far too busy worrying about contracts to focus on the basics. This is what happens when the money becomes the main focus. The gypos have acted fast to bring Pep in. He'll sort the mess out I'm sure. Klopp will sort things out at Liverpool. Both will be strong next season. Don't know much about the new chav in charge. Sounds a bit of a nutter really. They could be in just as much shit next season.

    Ourselves and Utd are the real joke outfits though. Two old dinosaurs plodding around pretending they know what the fuck is going on. If Utd keep the genius then they'll be nowhere again, and of course we'll be 4th. So the spuds have a chance to step up a level if they do some decent business in the summer. Leicester surely can't hold for another season at the top. Although nobody supposed they could do it this season either. That Kante bloke wants away by the sounds of it and they'll have a tough time holding on to Mahrez.
