Imagine writing a whole book of an article just to take a pop at Liverpool.

Saving this one for the moments when Spurs finish behind Liverpool again and we take it to your glass chins later in the season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


How is a pop at Liverpool, not my fault they have the worse defence in the league. That is down to your team and manager.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ignore him Sandy, he’s a facking Trump worshipping, gun toting, bible bashing, Yank spaztic thats never been to Liverpool in his life but tries to act like ‘one of the lads’, but even the Loose Women ‘pool fans on here regard him as the facking cockroach that he is.

Way too early for talk of title challenges yet. At least wait until the win against West Ham.

" I think it is fair to say that the team that concedes the fewest goals, usually ends up as Champions"
***********************
There are far better ways to look at the attributes that lead to a team becoming "Champions".
The "fewest goals" results in defensive negativism that was the bane of Italian leagues.
If you win every game 1-0 you probably will be Champions.......but who wants to watch that stuff?
A far better view is a balanced team in both defense, midfield dominance and attack, that maintains the highest GD.
Lets see who does that this season, shall we!

3 or 4-1 Spurs. May even keep a clean sheet.

Meanwhile Penchester United are gifted another ridiculously soft penalty, fortunately Bruno Penandes failed to score and justice was done

You forgot the four other wins in two other competitions. So season so far is P8 W6 D1 L1. Unbeaten in 7, 13 goals in the last two games. Bale to come in What's not to be optimistic about.

Whilst I know there is a bit of tong in cheek from Sandy, it does illustrate how the Media can inflate ( or deflate ) certain players. Dier, for example. An ever present in Spurs back 4 this year, yet everyone will have us believe he is absolutely rubbish. And that Van Dijk is the best thing since sliced bread. But Sandy's table says the opposite ?

As long as Spurs don’t include Davies, Winks or Dele Ali in our team, then we should do well this season..

To include all 3 at once, would surely weaken us, to the point of losing... ie the Everton game!!

Davies is too slow & pedantic
Winks is too weak & unimaginative(what does he actually do?!!)
Dele Ali is a shadow of himself a few seasons ago... gives the ball away far too much, is weak & lazy

The media have immense influence, they pedal their narratives so much it gets into the minds of fans, officials and the like. They talk about something so often, eventually people start to believe it as true, even though it is quite the opposite.

It affects decision making also, for example, United and Pool are talked up by the media at all times no matter what, and it reflects in the decisions being made during their games.

Totally agree. Facking hate the media. Ole's "Do Over" article today is a prime example of media influencing. They are reporting this as if it is perfectly acceptable fora Manager to press the re start button and we all forget their previous poor displays.
