Apart from CFCs demise, this seasons quite enjoyable.

From now on challenging for the title will not only be between us, Man utd, Citeh , and Arsenal. Its not only a select few that can splash the cash. Any team that can spend £40m on a top goalscorer, and one or two more quality personnel with the TV revenue available will be in with a shout. For that reason, pretty certain we will see potential champions in the next decade from the Palaces, T*ttenhams, Leicesters, etc

I think I'll start cheering for City from now up until May. Can't stand the idea of watching those deluded goons lifting the EPL title. With Chelsea missing on Champions League football as well. Bleah :mouthclosed::mouthclosed::mouthclosed:. Would be the worst season ever. Anyone but Arsenal, Tottenham & Liverpool.

Anyone but Arsenal and Liverpool for me . City or Spurs would be acceptable (as far as acceptable can go, especially with Spurs).

The Leicester fairytale isn't over yet.

What does Dele Alli think he's doing? First you join the Tottenham squad from MK Dons, you then fill in for an injured player and do a good job in centre midfield, you continue to do an even better job, then you actually become first choice. That's already quite impressive. But then you take it a notch further, you play higher up the pitch and you're level doesn't drop. What? You're arguably even better there and start producing great pieces of skill, scoring an ourageous goal against Everton. The nerve of that 19-year-old.

Seriously though, shockingly good goal. The run, the control on the move, the finish under pressure. That was a real striker goal.

His progress is incredible! My friend's Dad is from Milton Keynes so we went to a couple of Dons games and Alli really stood out then but so did a lot of that team, we didn't think much of him at the time for that reason. Then he got signed by Tottenham and were still unsure, knew he'd been doing things for England U21s at that time too so it wasn't out the blue he was scouted. We never quite thought it would be so soon he was breaking down the door of established first team members at Tottenham. Ryan Mason was meant to be their 'guy' and now it's Alli :lol:

At the time I said "i'm disappointed Chelsea never signed him", but I'm glad. He'd have never got that exposure for us here, the RLC comparison has already been alluded to. If that means we one day end up paying £40-60m for him because of that, so be it. Even if it is Spurs, it's just a refreshing to witness.

Ryan Mason. Never impressed me. They were never going anywhere with that Mason-Bentaleb midfield. Pochettino also finally saw the light concerning Dembele (I thought he'd make a clever Jan purchase, very useful player, but that's not happening anymore).

Haha, just the thought of it. He never would've played at Chelsea. He would've received the infamous 'old bottle of wine' treatment. It's in your house and you rave about it. You even show it off to your friends/peers. But you never take it out. You just keep saving it for that special that never comes.
