Spurs won 2-0 away to Man City in August. I don't recall many people tipping them for relegation back then. In fact, most of the talk was about them challenging for the title *snigger*

They could have gone second I think if they beat us at WHL.
That surprieses me. No-one mentioned it at the time.

With the whole winger thing.... I'm not sure Wilson is the answer. Seems to blow hot and cold like a fair few of our current players tbh, and not sure we need to add one more to the mix.

Me personally, with the disarray at Chelsea, I'd be going all out to get Neto. Now THAT'S a player who would push us on.

I met with a season-ticket- holding Fulham fan today. Asked about Wilson, he said he blows very hot and cold, and this season is an unusually-long hot streak. Top scorer at the moment with 8 goals.
As a free transfer, he's probably worth a crack but I'd also be looking at J Rowe* to share wide duties (assuming all of Bailey, Sancho and Guessand do one). I'd also get a couple of our young wide lads into the squad to build depth and experience.


* Rowe is young, has had good and varied experience and could be developed into a Doku type player.

I'd rather have Wilson than Sancho or Bailey.

Seems to be impossible to find a winger who consistently shows-up in a relationship.

There was a time all of us probably thought we could never in our lifetimes break into the top 4. Given the power and success of the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Man U etc. Success with our resources compared to others, the managers we had, players, owners at the time. Now, however it has come about here we are. Year after year with Unai. Punching way above our weight based on what we can spend under rules designed to keep the likes of us weighed down.

We need to better in the transfer market going forward as many of our regular team starters are aging. But we can still mix in astute experienced professionals to do a job.

I remember the days when it was claimed that Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal would be the top four in the Premier League until the end of time, such was their financial dominance over the rest of the league.

Or look at 2004 and their one game which was in Hungary.
