About bloody time. Worked really well at the World Cup if I remember correctly.

Is it me or does it not just skew it in favour of the big six still (considering they are more profitable clubs and already have extortionately better finances), and doesn't actually do anything to level up the playing field?

Also funny because most Spurs fans I speak to, either now or back then, see us as warranted winners and deserving of the title. Yeah we played before them sometimes but either way, we got the wins on the board. Thankfully the sane Spurs fans see that, and see that we were worth the victory in games and of the league. I'm surprised Dier even entertained questions or discussions about it considering it's been 8 years!

Daka did square root of fvck all against Norwich.

Issue with this is that we then put in a performance like we did against Norwich...

I think this is the point people are making - people are buying tickets and selling them on anyway, so the buyer gets the points despite not going.

It did.

Hope the mini expansion is done by then

The 'pipped' to the title gets me They didn't even finish 2nd ffs.

Is that what Daka has been playing with

Sky probably waiting for what happens with permutations in and around the table. They can decide whenever they like given all games start at the same time.

Mcateer back.

Shot himself in the foot with comments like that, too. Trains fantastic, has to play a striker, but opts for the one that is perhaps the worst finisher in the squad. Something definitely doesn't add up with what's going on between Maresca and Cannon.

He might leave though.

Draw, for me. As both still have enough to play for against both our rivals. Especially with Middlesbrough playing Ipswich and Leeds in their next two.

Think there's approx 22-23k STHs. Given the permutations of potentially being promoted/crowned title winners, I'm not surprised it's sold out?

Daka shouldn't be starting, sorry. You need your strikers to score. He doesn't do that. He's not reliable when you need goals to win games, let alone when you don't have many chances anyway.

Bonus that we're somehow still top despite losing. But it could have been so much better! Now we just have to get 3 points at Plymouth. Give us all a bit of a relaxing weekend

I know, I mean in the sense of the missed opportunity.

Wow that would have been insane

Even if Ipswich only draw it just annoys me more that we didn't win last night.

Agree with the last point. We've been sussed out for ages which should have been the time to change things. As for shit football, it wasn't always the case. We played some really good dynamic football that led to goals and chances. We just see much less of it because of the point you make about being sussed out.

There must be a word for having such an air of inevitability about something that is going to happen.

But we went on a good run after that. 14 out of 15 games won? So something was working back then...

Especially for when they sacked Eustace just to get Rooney in
