I think he shouldn't have let our popularity affect him either. If anything it should have strengthened their resolve, maybe this is where their mental weakness came from.

How nice is

 


"They are two great managers and to compete against them will be good. Also two big teams, United and City, but also there is Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester, Tottenham.

Danny Mills is a brainwashed automaton - not worth listening.

Tottenham had 'everyone against us' in title race - Mauricio Pochettino

 
ESPN FC Tottenham correspondent Dan Kilpatrick looks back at Spurs' season, and what it is they need for the 2016/17 season to finally finish above their North London rivals.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has said everyone was against his team in their Premier League title challenge against Leicester City this season.

Spurs were in contention for a maiden Premier League crown until their 36th game, when a 2-2 draw at Chelsea confirmed the Foxes as the unlikeliest champions in the competition's history.

The level of public goodwill towards Leicester -- managed by likeable Italian Claudio Ranieri and with heavy odds against them at the beginning of the season -- was unprecedented, while a number of Premier League figures including West Brom's Tony Pulis, Stoke City boss Mark Hughes and Chelsea pair Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas openly declared their support for Leicester.

Pochettino, who has the youngest squad in the Premier League, says he struggles to understand why Spurs were cast as the villains of the piece.

"I have to admit that it was an added stress. Everyone was against us," the Argentine told Ocio News.

"The second placed team in the table were the team to beat, that is the first time in history that has happened. It was difficult to understand. I still do not understand it now. Everybody was too nice to Leicester -- we were the bad guys who wanted to ruin the fairytale story of Cinderella."

Pochettino says his Spurs squad will learn from the campaign but paid credit to Leicester and Ranieri, declaring them worthy winners.

 

"I believe we were brave and took risks. A team is a reflection of their coaching staff and carries their character. That is something I learned many years ago from Marcelo Bielsa.

"We are the youngest team in the Premier League. This experience will be good for us. To play well is not easy, we slipped up.

"We were not able to compete in those moments of the season which are key to be champions," he added.

"Leicester competed better. They had a different philosophy than ours, but just as valid. I congratulate them. After 38 games the best team always wins.

"This season is proof that in England, in the Premier League, anything can happen. It is the most competitive league.

"Claudio has that entertaining 'Latin' thing. He jokes around. I took it well when he said 'Keep calm Pochettino.'"

The arrivals of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, as well as Antonio Conte at Chelsea, means the Premier League promises to be even more competitive next season.

Pochettino is excited by the increased competition and has no problem with the spotlight being on Manchester.

"They will have a problem as the city is small and they are sure to meet!," he joked.

"They are two great managers and to compete against them will be good. Also two big teams, United and City, but also there is Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester, Tottenham.

"Next season should be exciting in England. But it is normal that, for their history and trophies won, Mourinho and Guardiola eclipse everyone else."

 

 

To be fair to Spurs, I think it would have been annoying to have your opponents saying they wanted us to win the league. I wouldn't have liked it if ours had been saying they hoped Spurs won it.

 

However, I think the reffing we both had towards the end of the season makes up for it. We were getting punished for things that everyone else does and gets away with it, while Spurs were actually assaulting the opposition and never getting sent off.

Loved him growing up in the late 90's.... But the more I listen to him, the more I dislike him.

He is seriously bitter over the fact we've won the title- lovely stuff.

I don't think Danny Mills has actually said anything positive about us all season. Even during the England friendlies he couldn't wait to slag off Vardy.

 

Blokes a bitter cvnt.

So I just brought this book:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sun-Shines-Now-Hillsborough-Premier/dp/0571295118/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466410427&sr=8-1&keywords=and+the+sun+shines+now

Not quite sure what to make of it to be honest, it is quite a detailed account of how football and social culture changed framed by the Hillsborough disaster. But so far very little about the actual disaster and recent inquests. I'm a few chapters in and the author is talking about "Ultra" groups springing up across English football and well blow me if there in black and white are mentioned - The Fosse Boys (Leicester City).

A truly wonderful piece of prose from 'Grimes' in the comments section: https://www.clubcall.com/leicester-city/leicester-are-winning-ben-arfa-race---lyon-chief-1813931.html

Leicester will really lose Key man Riyad Mahrez. It will be difficult to replace him.
Ranieri dreams to found in every corner a player like Mahrez with a transfert fee for 400.000 € for a miserable wage of 40.000 a week. 
Ranieri didn't make a new offer for Vardy-Mahrez-Kante just after winning the Champions league.
Ranieri don't want to spent money for lucrative striker like Musa and Slimani.
He nogociates and negociates and negociates and waits and waits and waits.
Ranieri has to forget the season 2016-2017.
I think when he made offers at the wright moment for the Fire Trio and Key guys and signed Musa and Slimani, the guys didn't speculate one moment to go. 
To play premier league and Champions league with minimum squad and to push the guys to burn out is not the solution. 
Loyality is good but gratitude is better
