Come on Chelsea get it together. The mere thought of  Spurs winning the title would be unbearable with the media bias towards them.

Heaven forfend Tottenham ever winning the league again.  You had to be alive and aware; from 1960 on to realise what it was like with the press fawning all over Spurs, and yes, it really was that bad.

I have a problem with this.  I dislike Tottenham as a club more than any other. But.... I like their current manager and team, they don't even have any one player I could slap.

And, I don't like Chelsea as a club or their current team.  I provably should just ignore the whole thing.

I'm with you Steve - I quite like this Tottenham team so would be quite content with them winning the league. them or Chelsea? Who's third? liverpool? Jesus Christ no. Not them. ever. 4th? Man City? meh - can't even sell out their ground. 5th? Man U - say no more (well, not fussed about them). 6th? Everton? nah. 7th? Arsenal? No no no no. 8th? Well that's just just ludicrous. I think I'd get to Bournemouth before I saw I side I'd like to win the title, so for now, fuck it Tottenham are as good a team as any up there. As for the media I've long since caring about what the media write about football.

Arsenal and Chelsea supporters are far more obnoxious,particularly Chelsea.

For the last 50 plus years all you hear about is Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur even allowing for the likes of Graham Roberts, John Pratt and even our Alan Hutton as he was learning to home his skills.  It will be unbearable listening to the National sports channels if they win the premiership.

Just watched it and sums up how poor the officials are and how pathetic some footballers have become.

You'd be inclined to say that the referee had been bought off, it wasn't even subtle.  Shocking decision.

Wenger copying Bruce tactics of 3 CBs' doesn't work as Boro equalise.
