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.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
