    Draw in that one, for me. Any of the top six who draw I see as 2 points dropped, not a point gained. The form amongst all the sides has been very strong overall. None can afford anything but a win. Only gotta look at united winning 6 out of 6 and remaining... 6th <laugh>

    say anything, but don't say "goals". We've scored the second most amount in the league, conceded the least, and have the best goal difference. how can a pundit who is paid to offer a useful insight into the game, supposedly knowing more that the average joe, say something so dumb? <doh>

    Because they don't know what to say and they have to say something! <laugh>

    I'd have gone with a lack of successful, consistent back-up for Kane, personally.
    We only have one striker that's putting them away, unless you include Son.
    He's got as many as Firmino, but hasn't played in as advanced a role and is in and out of the side, admittedly.

  8. Little Luke, if that had been Pogba scooping over the top of the defence for Ibrahinavic to slot past the keeper, we would have witnessed the sorry spectacle of pundits openly jacking themselves off on live TV, mate!

    I know it. You know it. And you know that I know you know it.

    "We just were not on it today.
    I don't want to take any credit away from Spurs but we were miles away from where we had to be.
    When that happens, you get punished." - Tony Pulis

    I thought that he might take that line. We played very well, but West Brom really didn't compete, especially in the first half.
    That their best player was their goalkeeper and they didn't manage a shot on target just shows how on top we were.
    Great from us, but really poor from them. A gulf in class, but also in effort and application.

    It makes a nice change finally to see him picking the ball out of the net more than once.

    Truly, what a great great remedy for jetlag and a right sh*tty cold today is.
    I looked at the weather at midday, and thought : Perfect conditions for Pulis-ball. :(

    But the boys have prevailed. Big statement of intent today.

    Really need Chelsea to slip up. Get the gap to 5 points and it's game on. Massive match for us next v Man City.

    Harry Kane never fails to impress Spurs fans, he may ended up being injured but he did great with his hat trick!

    Sorry to darken the mood, but Pochettino has indicated that Vertonghen's injury 'looks bad".

    You do know what it is : fear, pure and simple.

    Spurs are capable of permanently casting one of their darlings out of the CL slots.
    As none of em know who the victim could be, they all behave as though the clu
    they root for are the likely casualties,

    Another excellent performance. 7 wins in a row, 6 in the league, just 8 more to go...

    I'm sure some will say West Brom were very poor but we've made fools of a lot of teams lately so I think we deserve the credit rather than West Brom deserving the criticism.

    Only negative was that I decided against betting on a Kane hattrick and went for 4-1 instead <doh>
