I'm not to bothered mate, whilst you keep spouting your stuff about spurs , we keep winning games and making all your predictions on us losing go wrong. Leicester win but spurs do to hence why we sit a very small 2 points behind you and won't leave you alone. Were there for the whole season with you and I think you know it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No I don't because I think you will drop at least four points in the next two, you'll certainly have to be a lot lot lot better to beat West Ham and that's a certainty. if you drae both and we win one draw one or win both, we'll be nicely above you!
At the end of the day Don, you have your opinion on what is good and I have mine. I'm "genuinely" saying it as I see it so respect my opinion, just as I will respect yours.
This article has nothing to do with Spurs so maybe take it somewhere else mate, I don't want to argue with you 👍
BS let me ask you this;
Would you be confident that Leicester would go to West Ham and win and beat Arsenal at home and think that a win is the only possible result?
I'm sure your answer would be no, the same as mine, no matter what form we're in because they are two good sides and while I'd think we could win, I would think draws would be more realistic.
Spurs fans can't see anything other than six points and to me that is arrogant and dismissive but that's just my opinion.
I'm not even saying we will beat WBA even though we have put six past their double decker buses in the last two games. We are more than good enough to hammer them but I'm not all gobby and thinking it will be a walk in the park and that's the difference between me and them. They think they're world beaters but they're not. They're a good side, I'm not denying that but they're not as good as they're making out.
I've watched a lot of football and have based my opinions on what ive watched over the last 35 years.
But Don, come on mate, let's not argue hey 👍
I'm sorry if my views annoy you, I'm genuinely only saying what I see but let's just rejoice in the fact that Arsenal are looking like they will choke again 👍
Spurs fans can't see anything other than six points and to me that is arrogant and dismissive but that's just my opinion.

Not from what I've read mate but you do seem a lot more realistic 👍
They will be two really tough games and certainly not games I would be looking at as three points, from a Leicester point of view.
West Ham are a really good side and very good at home now, their home record has overtaken their away now and they will be really difficult to beat. They have pace and quality in the final third and Payet is one of the best players in the league this season. Valencia is a real handful and they play with passion and a verve about them which has made them a very good side.
Had they been luckier with injuries to key players, I think they would have been challenging top four. Bilic has done a brilliant job and they're certainly not a team to be underestimated. They will give you the toughest test you've had since us.
Arsenal is a tricky one to predict for multiple reasons. It's probably is a game you could win because you'll definitely be up for it and I think the Englishness about your team could make the difference. You've got a lot more fight than Arsenal that's for sure.
Your style of play is very similar so it will be very interesting to see who commands more of the ball. The sensible person would say Arsenal because they have better players. I wouldn't necessarily the better team, but better players certainly, and in my opinion they play the better football. So it's likely that you will be sitting deeper and have to counter them and that's not your style.
Arsenal were completely outplayed by United yesterday and I thought the scoreline was flattering for Arsenal but they were exposed on the break. United had loads of pace and players willing to have a go at full backs and they really were very impressive. They looked hungry and fully deserved the win but Spurs don't play like that. It will be like a chess game and I'm looking forward to it!
A draw would be the best result for us but a win for you wouldn't be too damaging, it will put them out of the race and leave it up to us to fight it out 😃👍
And the sooner its a two horse race the better ha ha 😂👍
Having watched the whole of the Spurs v Swansea game, that has to be about the most dominant and one sided game of the season. Arro watched a few hightlights no doubt. Spurs are unstoppable train right now, and will catch, overtake and finish in front of Leicester with something to spare. Arro is insulting Spurs because he knows the inevitable is going to happen.
Arro, no you have not been to a thousand games, you live in Australia, don't tell porkies. Unless you are my age, which you are not, you would have had to have gone to at least 30 games a season for nearly forty years.

You do know teams only play 21 home league games a season back then don't you. So 21 games x 13 seasons from say aged 4 to 17 = 273 games. WTF did you get 543 home games from?
742 games before you were 18, you don't are spout some bollox. You would have had to viewed close to 40 matches a season since you were born, which you clearly did not.
Arro, you realised you were posting porkies, and have had to delete.

COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE
If we had scored in the first minute and then only had two more shots on target, would everyone's perception be different? Leaving it late gives everyone confidence to think we will ultimately succumb to one of these sides, but would they if we had scored early?
The reality is, it makes no difference at what point you score because at the end of the day, a game lasts 90+ mins and we found a way to score and win the match.
It's one thing coming and parking the bus but it still doesn't mean players won't mistakes or switch off. We have the players to create chances no matter who we play and how they set up against us. You could argue Norwich switched off once and we took advantage, something that we are very good at, teams simply can't switch off for 10 seconds because we will punish them.
There is no guarantee that any team we face will manage to hold out for 95 mins without us scoring. They might but just parking the bus is no guarantee of stopping us. We won the Championship and had teams parking the bus but we still found ways to beat them, with largely the same squad. Yes it's a different level and the opposition are better but so are we.
We have put six past WBA in the last two games and they always park the bus, especially at one nil up, which is the position they found themselves in before going 1-3 down. Maybe they will stop us from scoring and maybe other teams will too but to do so they must concetrate and not make any mistakes for 95 mins and that isn't going to be easy.
It was great to see Schlupp back, he really made a difference when coming on and I thought Amartey did well too, it was a pretty solid if not spectacular debut for him. With Kante suffering from a slight hamstring strain I'd be tempted to stick him in the middle with Drinky, put Simpson back at right back and give Kante a rest. We're not going to need him agaisnt WBA so might as well rest him if he's not 100%.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Between the age of three 3 1/2 and 18 I only missed three home games, two against Chelsea and one against West Ham because it was so dangerous. I had the whole of Pen 2 to myself before it was opened in 1990, when we started to get bigger crowds.
So I'd been to 291 home league games, my dad took me to about ten away games every season, plus say three cup and three friendlies on a average, takes me to 515 before my 18th birthday.
In my last season before I started playing senior football, I went to 38 of the 42 games so take off 21 home games already accounted for and that takes it to 532.
The season I started playing football, I also used to work as a steward at midweek games and reserves, my old man was Chief Steward but has been promoted to Head of Matchday Security now. He's been there since 1971. I did that from 18 to 27, when I went travelling. So maybe another 10 mid week games plus three cup and three friendlies, plus 15 reserves a season for nine years takes me to 811. Add on European games and I'm at 815 up to 27 years old.
I went travelling for a year and came back and went to every home game and 5 away, plus three cup and three friendlies, on average. So maybe another 30 taking me up to 845 when I went to live in China and Japan.
Lived in Japan taught two Brazilian boys whose dad, Magno Alves (you can Google him) gave me tickets to watch Gamba Osaka every week (you might notice that I support them) and I went to about 20 a season, didnt go to every game, so another 40 takes me up to 885.
I was home for a year before moving out here and went to every home game and about 10 away plus about five U21's, plus cups and friendlies takes me to 925.
I came home for six months and went to every home game and six away, I think it was 14 games and came home and went to five over Christmas and New Year last season. That takes me 944.
When I first moved here I went to see Brisbane Roar most games, company I worked for had corporate box and nobody was into football so I went to pretty much every home game one season and I try to get to five a season. Ive probably been to 35 Roar games in the six years ive been here. So up to 979.
When I was travelling in Europe I went to see, in order, FC Copenhagen, IFK Goteburg, FC Brann, a game in Lithuania but can't remember who, it was in Vilnius. Legia Warsaw, Slavia Prague v Anderlecht in the CL, Ferencvaros, Olympik Ljubljana, Hadjuk Split, Dynamo Kiev, a team in Albania, in Tirana but again can't remember the name. In 1998 and I also saw Dynamo Moscow so 991 that I can think of so yeah over 1000 games or certainly around about.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh I'll agree with you about the dominance, absolutely but the quality wasn't great at all. Admittedly I was watching both games but from what I saw, it was a lot of long shots. Saw the second goal but was watching United when you equalised.
Look it's not even about the performance, you won and that's all that matters 👍

I'm not to bothered mate, whilst you keep spouting your stuff about spurs , we keep winning games and making all your predictions on us losing go wrong. Leicester win but spurs do to hence why we sit a very small 2 points behind you and won't leave you alone. Were there for the whole season with you and I think you know it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No I don't because I think you will drop at least four points in the next two, you'll certainly have to be a lot lot lot better to beat West Ham and that's a certainty. if you drae both and we win one draw one or win both, we'll be nicely above you!

At the end of the day Don, you have your opinion on what is good and I have mine. I'm "genuinely" saying it as I see it so respect my opinion, just as I will respect yours.
This article has nothing to do with Spurs so maybe take it somewhere else mate, I don't want to argue with you 👍

BS let me ask you this;
Would you be confident that Leicester would go to West Ham and win and beat Arsenal at home and think that a win is the only possible result?
I'm sure your answer would be no, the same as mine, no matter what form we're in because they are two good sides and while I'd think we could win, I would think draws would be more realistic.
Spurs fans can't see anything other than six points and to me that is arrogant and dismissive but that's just my opinion.
I'm not even saying we will beat WBA even though we have put six past their double decker buses in the last two games. We are more than good enough to hammer them but I'm not all gobby and thinking it will be a walk in the park and that's the difference between me and them. They think they're world beaters but they're not. They're a good side, I'm not denying that but they're not as good as they're making out.
I've watched a lot of football and have based my opinions on what ive watched over the last 35 years.

But Don, come on mate, let's not argue hey 👍
I'm sorry if my views annoy you, I'm genuinely only saying what I see but let's just rejoice in the fact that Arsenal are looking like they will choke again 👍

That's not the case arro
Spurs fans acknowledge these will be very difficult games but if we were to get 6 points, that would be massive

Not from what I've read mate but you do seem a lot more realistic 👍
They will be two really tough games and certainly not games I would be looking at as three points, from a Leicester point of view.
West Ham are a really good side and very good at home now, their home record has overtaken their away now and they will be really difficult to beat. They have pace and quality in the final third and Payet is one of the best players in the league this season. Valencia is a real handful and they play with passion and a verve about them which has made them a very good side.
Had they been luckier with injuries to key players, I think they would have been challenging top four. Bilic has done a brilliant job and they're certainly not a team to be underestimated. They will give you the toughest test you've had since us.
Arsenal is a tricky one to predict for multiple reasons. It's probably is a game you could win because you'll definitely be up for it and I think the Englishness about your team could make the difference. You've got a lot more fight than Arsenal that's for sure.
Your style of play is very similar so it will be very interesting to see who commands more of the ball. The sensible person would say Arsenal because they have better players. I wouldn't necessarily the better team, but better players certainly, and in my opinion they play the better football. So it's likely that you will be sitting deeper and have to counter them and that's not your style.
Arsenal were completely outplayed by United yesterday and I thought the scoreline was flattering for Arsenal but they were exposed on the break. United had loads of pace and players willing to have a go at full backs and they really were very impressive. They looked hungry and fully deserved the win but Spurs don't play like that. It will be like a chess game and I'm looking forward to it!
A draw would be the best result for us but a win for you wouldn't be too damaging, it will put them out of the race and leave it up to us to fight it out 😃👍

Having watched the whole of the Spurs v Swansea game, that has to be about the most dominant and one sided game of the season. Arro watched a few hightlights no doubt. Spurs are unstoppable train right now, and will catch, overtake and finish in front of Leicester with something to spare. Arro is insulting Spurs because he knows the inevitable is going to happen.

Arro, no you have not been to a thousand games, you live in Australia, don't tell porkies. Unless you are my age, which you are not, you would have had to have gone to at least 30 games a season for nearly forty years.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Between the age of three 3 1/2 and 18 I only missed three home games, two against Chelsea and one against West Ham because it was so dangerous. I had the whole of Pen 2 to myself before it was opened in 1990, when we started to get bigger crowds.
So I'd been to 291 home league games, my dad took me to about ten away games every season, plus say three cup and three friendlies on a average, takes me to 515 before my 18th birthday.
In my last season before I started playing senior football, I went to 38 of the 42 games so take off 21 home games already accounted for and that takes it to 532.
The season I started playing football, I also used to work as a steward at midweek games and reserves, my old man was Chief Steward but has been promoted to Head of Matchday Security now. He's been there since 1971. I did that from 18 to 27, when I went travelling. So maybe another 10 mid week games plus three cup and three friendlies, plus 15 reserves a season for nine years takes me to 811. Add on European games and I'm at 815 up to 27 years old.
I went travelling for a year and came back and went to every home game and 5 away, plus three cup and three friendlies, on average. So maybe another 30 taking me up to 845 when I went to live in China and Japan.
Lived in Japan taught two Brazilian boys whose dad, Magno Alves (you can Google him) gave me tickets to watch Gamba Osaka every week (you might notice that I support them) and I went to about 20 a season, didnt go to every game, so another 40 takes me up to 885.
I was home for a year before moving out here and went to every home game and about 10 away plus about five U21's, plus cups and friendlies takes me to 925.
I came home for six months and went to every home game and six away, I think it was 14 games and came home and went to five over Christmas and New Year last season. That takes me 944.
When I first moved here I went to see Brisbane Roar most games, company I worked for had corporate box and nobody was into football so I went to pretty much every home game one season and I try to get to five a season. Ive probably been to 35 Roar games in the six years ive been here. So up to 979.
When I was travelling in Europe I went to see, in order, FC Copenhagen, IFK Goteburg, FC Brann, a game in Lithuania but can't remember who, it was in Vilnius. Legia Warsaw, Slavia Prague v Anderlecht in the CL, Ferencvaros, Olympik Ljubljana, Hadjuk Split, Dynamo Kiev, a team in Albania, in Tirana but again can't remember the name. In 1998 and I also saw Dynamo Moscow so 991 that I can think of so yeah over 1000 games or certainly around about.

Arro,
Come on mate, we were impressive yesterday. It was about as dominant as it gets.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh I'll agree with you about the dominance, absolutely but the quality wasn't great at all. Admittedly I was watching both games but from what I saw, it was a lot of long shots. Saw the second goal but was watching United when you equalised.
Look it's not even about the performance, you won and that's all that matters 👍

You do know teams only play 21 home league games a season back then don't you. So 21 games x 13 seasons from say aged 4 to 17 = 273 games. WTF did you get 543 home games from?
742 games before you were 18, you don't are spout some bollox. You would have had to viewed close to 40 matches a season since you were born, which you clearly did not.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah miscalculated and did it again!

This is a football forum board, so I can post on this board no problem, I do not insult posters like you, and that is why you were banned from the Spurs board, and rightly so with so many complaints against you.
Your last comment showed why you were banned.
