Probably the worst free kick I’ve ever seen

 

Why blame spurs? He was going to take the free kick short anyway! If his plan was to Launch it he’d have waited!! 

 

Typical Howe football biting them in the arse playing it short

Seriously why are commentators calling that gamesmanship? If he’d wanted to take that long he could have waited. He’d always intended to play it short (the Bournemouth way!!!) and now look at the mess it’s caused

We should finish above Bournemouth and Watford after today's results. Only really Everton and Burnley we need to worry about unless we have another winless run.

 

Just checked Burnley's fixtures- couldn't be much more favourable if they picked them. They've got a golden chance of Europe, and we would only have ourselves to blame for not overtaking them during their 2 month winless run.

Indeed, borderline criminal the points we have dropped.

Our game at Turf Moor will be crucial, we get 3 points above them after that game I'd back us to finish above them.

Haven't seen their fixtures but if they're against sides at the bottom they will have some motivation to avoid relegation . If we win the fixture against them I think we will stay up there . Might be at the expense of losing in the cup though

The top 8 all have a positive goal difference now, everyone below us has a negative one in double figures.

Well that's how a league works lol It doesn't work on goal difference, you can be above another team and have a worse goal difference.

This is of course true. And the team with most points at the end of the season will be declared the winners. But then the real maths start to establish by which formula Tottenham are the real champions. This year - highest average attendance x favorite team of Chas and Dave + number of years since last title win = The Real Champions

I would love Swansea to beat Spurs next weekend. 

I really do think it might happen. Swansea are good at home and Spurs do often get worse without Kane, although fair play on how they reacted today.

Yep agree - by using the Duckworth Junior Lewis method, Spuds will somehow be crowned champions of England on the Farting Cock Forum.

How the flip can Arsenal report an attendance of 59,131 today? Thats only 700 under full capacity. There were thousands of empty seats. Only answer I  can come up with, small club wanting to be a big club.

Think they count season tickets sold even if they don't show up.

Did the same against Man City when barely 30k were there.
