I was thinking this the other day. In Liverpool's nearly season with Suarez and Sturridge scoring tons we totally relied on scoring more than we conceded (shit loads). Spurs seem to have the balance at both ends.

Sign of pressure getting to them. Schmeichel was just as gobby walking off the pitch, effing and blinding knowing the camera was following him. If Spurs can come up with a convincing win tonight, could get very interesting...

Revisiting my earlier predictions, Leicester and Spurs are both 2 points better off than I predicted, so Leicester still on course to win by a point, but the momentum definitely feels like it's with Spurs after last night's great performance. Leicester's game against Swansea is now massive, win it and they should get over the line, a draw or defeat and I reckon it's Spurs' title...

But hey, why just single out the forwards.


This just gets more incredible the more I read it.


In the premier league this season, the following stats are for least fouls conceded by centre-halves.


Alderweireld hasn't conceded a foul in the last 600 PL minutes.


What's even more incredible is how he wasn't nominated for POTY.


Fouls conceded this season

Toby Alderweireld: 9

Laurent Koscielny: 25

Nicolas Otamendi: 26

Wes Morgan: 27

Robert Huth: 31

Chris Smalling: 42

And Swansea's players are already on the beach (even though

they aren't mathematically safe) :( .


So missing Vardy shouldn't matter too much.

Toby's already my Player Of The Year. It's no coincidence that since his arrival at WHL we now have the best defensive record in the Premiership whereas last season we probably had the worst. He's been superb from day one. A Rolls Royce of a defender and the best we've had since Ledley King was fully fit.

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
