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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
