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.

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.

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.

So...not like Willian, then? :P

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

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.

Meh we played poor they didn't. Other teams less crap against them.  I'd be annoyed it was a fluke win from them but nahhh.

Really can't stand Pep the bloke is so smug and the football media brown nose him and are in awe of the oily twat. City can win everything but they'll be always be the second biggest club in Manchester.

That stings even as a CFC lover.

Fulham Broadway told a great story when we played City in the Charity Shield in 2012 at Villa Park a load of Japanese tourists turned up in the City end wearing Man United tops ha ha.
