Happy for them. I dont think they'll finish top 4..maybe top 6 but good on them! Going strong. 

Also didnt realise our goal difference is still 9 lol!! It's a huge leap..goes 45..36..28..9.

And us with 9 is the most any team outside the top 3 has!

Sad to see Dele Alli not growing up and  showing he's still a total cnut.

Happy to see Leeds blowing another promotion bid.

Mauricio Pochettino: I'd love a Premier League return

Think United would suit him good. I'm surprise United have not let go of Ole and gone after him already!

He would be so good here, shame will probably go to United in the summer, transform them and after we will cry we didn't get him.

Glad he said this.

He has always been a pretty humble character.

Tottenham boss Mourinho leaves Man Utd off his list of top-four contenders

"Wolves and Sheffield United are fighting for the top four, [the managers] they can say no, and I understand if they say no but the reality is that they are. Not just because of the position that they are in the table, but because of the power and quality," the Spurs boss told Sky Sports.

"So it’s not just about Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton. It’s not just about us. It’s also about these two clubs who I have to say [are] fantastic."

The situation now dependent on a CAS appeal.

Scenes if the 5th spot becomes a CL spot...

UEFA announced they have banned Manchester City from the Champions League for the next two seasons and fined them €30m for Financial Fair Play violations

[Special Juan 27,429]

[Jase 43,479]

PSG got away with a ban for a similar breach, I think.

Watch CAS overturn that European ban for City...

[killer1257 3,282]

So I hope that shows that we should not invest 120 mio on just one player

City's statement...

https://www.mancity.com/news/club-news/club-news/2020/february/manchester-city-club-statement

Manchester City is disappointed but not surprised by today’s announcement by the UEFA Adjudicatory Chamber. The Club has always anticipated the ultimate need to seek out an independent body and process to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence in support of its position.

In December 2018, the UEFA Chief Investigator publicly previewed the outcome and sanction he intended to be delivered to Manchester City, before any investigation had even begun. The subsequent flawed and consistently leaked UEFA process he oversaw has meant that there was little doubt in the result that he would deliver.  The Club has formally complained to the UEFA Disciplinary body, a complaint which was validated by a CAS ruling.  

Simply put, this is a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA. With this prejudicial process now over, the Club will pursue an impartial judgment as quickly as possible and will therefore, in the first instance, commence proceedings with the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the earliest opportunity.

Does this mean 5th spot qualifies the team to UCL?

THey better not otherwise its open season for all of us. It means we all can do what they did. PSG needs the same punishment if not more.

[Jase 43,479]

OH...

[LAM09 6,752]

Crazy to see UEFA actually make a statement. That really shakes up the "Top 4" situation and probably ends Pep's tenure unless overturned somehow.
