Well they managed to beat us anyway, with not a little help from the ref mind.

We did win our last 11 in 1999/2000 but had the title effectively (if not actually) won for most of that.

I’m not saying they needed to be like us in 99 but they only got something like 15 points from a possible 30 in their last 10 matches. I think we can all agree that that return clearly isn’t championship form after being 5 points off Leicester before that. The equivalent of 5 losses in 10 matches

Edit: they were 5 points behind in 2nd spot on the 27/02/16 with a game in hand. They finished 11 points behind top spot in 3rd.

Spurs-ed it

Don't confuse the point, I'm not diminishing Leicester's achievement - it was incredible - just that the lack of meaningful challenge was immeasurably helpful. Weird that anyone can argue with that point tbh.


Equally, I've always rated Poch and I'd be happy for him to follow Ole at United. But I think it's a tall order not to suggest that their inability to meaningfully challenge Leicester that season was disappointing and the lack of trophies full stop is v poor. Some of that is on Poch.

Not at all. It would have been even harder, of course.

I don't see the two as mutually exclusive. They could have been pushed more, but the spurs stats suggest they were fairly strong going into the run in.

Leicester's lead was hardly insurmountable at any point. They kept it comfortable off their own back. They had fixtures and moments where they could have crumbled....and again, the pressure of being Leicester going for the league....but they kept on winning.

you imagined it was the year they won the league...wrongly obviously

we drew 1-1 with them that season that Spurs bottled it and they were champs

It was a reference to when Nigel Pearson managed them, as he was mentioned in the previous post - obviously that was not clear enough

The season against Leicester, probably.

Now saying it could take ten years for them to win a title and they are lacking a winning mentality.

Looks a broken man at the moment and it's no coincidence it's since our upturn...

I think he wanted the job and now it's been taken by a club legend. 😂

That defeat to Burnley at the weekend really did show that they are, at a fundamental level, still Spurs - and always will be.

well I never

Delete this monstrosity ffs.

Shit head

Impressive win today. 2 behind City. They couldn't.

Could they?

No, they couldn’t.

Didn't have a shot on target....
