Not that I consider Spurs title contenders, but come on Watford and QSF, go on
Proper Herberts this lot, would actually love them to fuck it up now.
"Not that I consider Spurs title contenders" - I guess these words carry some real weight, coming from a seasoned fan used to a steady shower of success.
They're basically little more than one striker that has taken the vast majority of his career to finally make it, and a manager who knows how to make the whole a lot better than the sum of its largely mediocre cast-off parts...mostly through a successful form of anti-football.
Not that the latter point matters anyway. I just don't like them, and I wouldn't like them even if they were playing the most beautiful football ever invented. I suspect most teams have fallen short against them because they saw Leicester as little more than a comical anomaly that weren't worth researching or taking seriously. Well that's all changed in the last couple of weeks, so let's see how they cope when teams specifically prepare for their one tactic for the rest of the season.
