You can make the argument that he is the best manager in the PL right now. Spurs play some superb football and simply tore Albion to pieces.

Spurs looked frighteningly good today. I hate to say it, but I love watching Pochettino's teams play.

I wonder if Danny Murphy will give the Barcodes the same treatment today as he did us last week? They barely touched the ball in the first half. Twat.

I'm in Szczecin for the weekend and saw some of the Spurs v WBA game on a Polish channel in a pub sheltering from the snow...honest.

At half-time there was a little film of Andy Townsend picking his 5-a-side team. X

Bosnich, Irwin, McGrath, Gascoigne, Saunders

Which was pleasant to see.

I see the Sunderland fans will all be home by 4 oclock today.

I understood that PL matches didn't (ex Watford) and EFL  matches did?

I'm at Hillsborough watching Sheff Wed Vs. Huddersfield.

Massive applause for Graham Taylor to start the match.

Since kick off, I've not seen anything to suggest we are not better than both these teams and we can't make the play offs. Both teams very poor. Very, very poor. It's an awful match.

what I see is both of them towering above us in the table, which must make us very, very, very poor

They've just said on Sky that this is Montanier's last game in charge at Forest.  What that means for us and Lansbury who knows.

It was officially left to the PL clubs to decide.  The EFL had an edict to do it.  Classy clubs will of course do it.

3-1 to Walsall against Sheff Utd. Good win that if they hold out.

The midfield it's just terrible.  As well as one of the full backs.  Fix those and we will make progress.

Kit Stealers two up against Palace.  If I was a Palace fan I'd feel like a Villa fan does usually.
