Debate about Mourinho's football is already floating about...

Gosh they are only 2 points ahead and we have a squad tremendously better. Liverpool also are level with them on points. 

I genuinely forget how the media love Mourinho's second season. 

As @Milan pointed out some weeks ago, it's scary to think that they could have been further ahead had they not contrived to throw away a 3-goal lead against West Ham and the referee not given a controversial penalty to Newcastle.

But on the flip side, if we went into Southampton with Mendy, AC didn't get red vs Liverpool, we took one of our chances vs Spurs.

Works both ways.

The point is that no team should be throwing away a 3-goal lead at this level and the other one they got fucked by the referee because IIRC, it shouldn't have been a penalty. 

Different scenarios from what happened with us in those games.

@Jason You saw the F1 race? Mercedes and Netflix just do not work together 

[Milan 17,881]

Also, come on Wolves, this should be the night Liverpool's home run ends!

Yup, talk about a colossal fuck-up by Mercedes!  And the race is so much more fun and unpredictable without Hamilton being in it...

Arteta is starting to sound a lot like David Moyes...

Without Jimenez not even sure who can score in this squad.

That's football. 

Liverpool could also be well ahead had VAR been used properly in both the Merseyside Derby and Brighton. Who knows where we would be had Mendy, Chilwell, Silva, Pulisic and Ziyech were fit and ready day 1. 

The fact the media are treating Spurs as some kind of run away title challenging team (when in reality they are one good opposition defence away from Kane and Son being passengers) despite only being 2 points ahead of us and level with Liverpool is strange.

I know it's ifs and buts but I meant this...

Someone has to. Know its a while to go still but hate for them to beat our unbeaten run..

[NikkiCFC 8,089]

Stupid mistake. 

[Special Juan 27,553]

Coady with a lovely assist for Salah

[Milan 17,881]

Well, rather Liverpool than Tottenham 10000%.

[Laylabelle 9,411]

They can win the league.. Long as lose at home along the way!
