    Likely.
    They have the players to do it if they can get their arses in gear. They're easily the best squad in the league; Liverpool are shit, Southampton have zero to play for already, and I'd fancy them in one off games vs the bigger three, so it would hardly be a massive surprise. And Leicester faltering wouldn't be the biggest shock in world football either.

    Might be something in it but I doubt it personally. Pochettino seems to have got rid of all the time wasters and built his own squad. Gone are the likes of Adebayor.

    If my predictions were to come true, the top four would be within two points before the last round Where second place Arsenal would probably win against Villa, meaning that Leicester would have o win at Stamford Bridge to win the league. City would also be likely to win against Swansea meaning that Leicester could drop all the way to fourth if Spurs were to win against Newcastle away. Norwich and Swansea would join Villa going down and Chelsea would end up 7th Behind United and West Ham.

    So yeah, I guess that means Leicester or Arsenal for the title.

    To be fair they have a really tough run in. Definitely get more points than that though, I reckon.

    The last time Spurs won the league was in 1961, and a fair few new dawns have broken along the Seven Sisters Road since then. This is just another one of those.

    If Aguero stays fit, City will win it easily. If not, well, Leicester are right up there, aren't they.

    News breaks of a 'secret meeting' between the big five chief execs to discuss joining a Super League. This meeting was so secret that they were all photographed coming out of it and have briefed the press about it.

    Posturing or not as far as 'Super League' is concerned, it's clear the big clubs are now determined to push for an end to meritocracy. The Leicester thing may have pushed them over the edge.

    It'll happen. When it does, a lot of us will end up giving up on it completely but the newer generation that seem to support players and not teams will lap it up.

    Isn't it just a part of the fact that the CL set-up is due for discussion/renewal soon?

    It is, but what they want from that is basically guaranteed places for big clubs, so it's only the breakaway part which is being used as a threat.

    It's actually a similar dynamic to that. Same thing happening in other sports too, notably cricket and F1. The top teams see the revenue being spread more evenly than they would like across the competition, and seek to flex their muscles to claim the bigger share that they believe they deserve.

    1992 worked because it revitalised a tainted product. This time they have (several) immensely popular products and basically want to squeeze more money out of it - this ends badly for them.

    F1 is interestingly different in that the Commercial Rights Holder wants to get rid of the teams rather than the other way around.

    I'd welcome some Super League in football. Taking all the money away from top flight English football might actually make it good again.

    Nah, I'm just enjoying the ride. Obviously I want us to win it (although if we don't I'd much prefer Spurs to anybody else) but what's the worst case scenario for us now?

    Mind you I'm a fucking mess at games now.

    I really can't believe that 41% of people think Tottenham are going to win the league. That's a national disgrace.

    It's a club where failure runs to the very core.

    That was weird. It was a good strike, pulled it nicely into the corner. Hart seemed to go down really badly, though.
