Well after a few crap results this week all I'm hoping now on a Saturday night is that Spurs finish above the Goons.
The progress made throughout this season is a credit to Poch and the players. They've grown so much as the season has gone on. All those draws at the start of the season I couldn't see that happening now. Bodes well for next season, clutching here to cheer myself up.

Been the story of our season in truth...for the amount of possession and domination we've had in games our conversion rate has been quite poor.But i do hope that Kane has now got his mojo back and the optimist in me hopes we can go on another run and possibly bring this one home!
The future looks superb for us. The brightest in the league, outside sugar daddy clubs and United, by a distance imo.
Providing Poch ( maybe? ) tweaks his methods a touch and we can buy/bring through/create an attacking player of top level ability, I think we will possibly win it over the next 3 seasons.

My own opinion Clint is nowhere near ready and still raw. Pritch, though great prospect has not done it in EPL yet. We need ready players that is on the cusp of greater things for bigger clubs, as Hoddle said today.

Bottling it would be to end outside top 3. Any other result means really a great season.

He took his goal well today pleased for him shame it wasnt the winner.
I think we lost the title today. Five points it's not impossible, but I just can't see Leicester dropping enough points. They just keep going. The four next games for them are Newcastle (H) and Crystal Palace (A), Southampton (H), Sunderland (A). They will problably win against Newcastle, Crystal Palance and Sunderland. Newcastles defence is shit, Crystal Palace are very weak atm and Sunderland ain't much better.

that's a different point to what you just said though which was with regards to potential. both are 22 and have done more than mahrez for example had at that point so can't just be dismissed.

Depends what we do in the summer. We need to be clever. Imo we can't just sit on the extra TV and champions league money( if we get in there, which is not a given)and hope we can reproduce the same results as this season. Not saying we need to buy names what we need is to find that extra pace and quality that also fits into the team dynamic. would look at players like Kante and Lacazette and players that fit in the mold of high energy coupled with talent. Not even a lot maybe three with a young up and coming player like Dembele as well.
Every year people say all the other teams will get better and some of them will(although no guarantee), so then we have to make sure we do as well. We have a clearly defined way of playing we have a manager the players really believe in. We have the base there already, as I say we need to be clever and not frightened of spending money on players with the right profile.

You just can't tell what the results will be week to week. The league is so much closer there are very few bankers now.
5 points is nothing when there's 27 left to play for, and you'd expect leicesters lack of experience being in this position to effect them. If some people think we 'bottled' it today. Why do they not expect the same from Leicester at some point?

Yes but unlike most of their victories they really didn't deserve that one. Kane should have scored and put them to bed with his big chance. That was a season changing moment...
Again, we should be winning the title this year. Just remember back to the below fixtures we've played:
Arsenal (2 times)
Everton (home)
United (away)
Swansea (away)
Stoke (home)
Leicester (twice)
Liverpool (home)
Chelsea (home)
Newcastle (home)
In the above 11 games, we came away with 8 points out of 33 possible. We outplayed the opposition in all 11 of those games. In most of those games, we badly outplayed the opposition, but did not have the requisite end product to kill off or win any of those matches. This has to be rectified in the summer. We will have a ton of surplus cash from the television deal and presumably CL to attract really good players from clubs smaller than us. Copy what Atletico and Dortmund did after title runs. They went out and bought Griezmann and Aubameyang. Lacazette is that player for us. Add that additional 15 goal a game player who can play with Kane or on his own and we'll be back in the mix next season, too.

They've lost 3 games all season. They have less derbies. They have less teams like West Ham putting in the performance of the season to beat them...
But mainly because they've only lost 3 games all season.
