Another round of seeing where the nastiness will be for the coming season, and how Spurs do like for like against 2020-21. Season dashboard : 1. PL (like for like with 2020-21 after 38 games) Pts = 9, GF = +1, GA = -1. 2. UEFA land - Europa Conference League : group stage. Ranking pts = 5. 3. League Cup : SFs. 4. FA cup : R5 5. Disturbances to the PL fixtures - UEFA : 2 - PL broadcaster c**ts : 3.

Cursory analysis of the PL fixtures ... 1. Nearly every month of the season there are two consecutive games where the opposition are teams who finished above us in 2020-11 or the Goons, 2. The last week in April / first week in May may well be "6 pointers" for both sides.
PL (like for like with 2020-21 after 3 games) : Pts = 2, GF = -2, GA = -1. Watford paired with WBA on the like for like.
PL (like for like with 2020-21 after 4 games) : Pts = 1, GF = -3, GA = +1, GF/GA says it all, after only 4 games.
PL (like for like with 2020-21 after 5 games) : Pts = 1, GF = -3, GA = +3. Not looking good on attack/defence, is it.
Dashboard updated (disturbances) . No valid reason IMHO why the Toon game could not be played on saturday.
Surely better to have the game as late as possible to get our players back and refreshed. Ours are better than theirs.
They don't have very many current internationals either, if memory serves. Also, TV money. That's the actual reason, of course.
