More than that, it highlights the reward of patience. Took Pochettino 2-3 seasons to clear out the dead woods and build a proper, solid team.

Can we do that ? For all the praise that spurs get, Pocchetino hasn't won anything for 3 seasons.

Imagine a Chelsea manager do that.

I remember after Spurs failed to win the league there was talks of that was it and they'll go backwards..sadly looking less likely the case. Amazed we beat them yet lost to Palace.. League has no logic. Early days and things can change but looks like up the stay

And kane grrr

People said they'll go backwards because they thought Spurs will start losing their best player but they didn't. They manage to keep all their players except walker which they found a decent replacement in Aurier.

It is going to be interesting again this summer if they don't win anything and keep their low salary structure

Whilst everyone in the media has a huge hard on for Spurs nothing will change. They will always be that nice side that the media massage their ego and fall in love with Pochettino, this however won't win them the league and that ultimately is what it comes down too. You can have all the new stadiums you want, the fact of the matter is they are a long way from winning the league and players like Kane look around them and see the United's, City's and us racking up trophy after trophy year in and year out. Kane is the best finisher in Europe right now, the wolves are already circling, and it doesn't matter one jot if their new stadium is the best stadium in the world or not, silverware is always the be all and end all of what top class players want.

In a nutshell....Spurs go to the National TV awards, Chelsea, City, United etc go to the Oscars.

Wow Koeman is gone. 

I remember Everton would be all about stability. 

Guess things changed with new owner. 

[Leif 6,006]

One of the weakest managers to ever touch the league, turning what could've been a wolf gaining strength, into a puppy that pisses itself whenever it sees another dog. Good riddance. 

[LeonDavis23 371]

Expect Everton to get a 'new manager' nitrous in their next game against whoever they play and then go back to shit again.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Inevitable really, the players gave up and when that happens only one man gets sacked.

Spurs are amazing. I thought this season would be between Manchester clubs, with Spurs somewhat behind, but I think league table doesn't lie. Spurs are better than United I would say and City is still class above.

Wouldn't be surprised if league finishes like after this weekend (1. City 2. United 3. Spurs 4. Chelsea), but Spurs could really even surpass United.

Sadly, I'm not seeing us getting in front of Spurs or United, especially not City. But 4th place isn't that bad either, it would teach us a good lesson.

And about Liverpool and Arsenal... Pool is just too much mess. My God that defense, relegation level defense. And Arsenal is Arsenal, no way in hell they finish in first 4.

I think City and Spurs are almost nailed on top 2 in that order with an outside shot of us sneaking in there if we get our act together. I think United are finishing 4th possibly even 5th, i really am not getting the hype with them atall.

Claude Puel to Leicester City, interesting choice.

I have to say I envy how comfortable all spurs CB on the ball, it allow them to by pass most pressing.

[Pizy 18,368]

Embarrassing defending from Dier at this point in such a big game.

[King11Didier 916]

Thats why we hate spudssssss, f8cking twats, never gonna be a big team.

[Pizy 18,368]

I'm jealous of the way City approach each game. They look to dominate from the first minute and have their foot on the gas right away.

Against sides like this we usually allow the small teams to bully us and stick around. We get out fought. We don't look to impose our will on them. Part of it is personnel, yes, but mostly about mentality.

Sane is like Willian, except better in EVERY single way.

Seeing that Willian hustle, and Afro, on the wing warms my heart. Watching him split teams open, and not just do a step over and pass back, makes me the our Willian lol

[Pizy 18,368]

So for the second match in a row after playing the best game of their season and beating us, Palace are losing badly against one of the worst sides in the league.
