Doubt it, he is only there until end of season which is 4months away? Mourinho is clearly going to be taking over there IMO but not until summer, so Abram mayswell stick with him.

and who else can they get in just now to take over for the 4 months.

But will Roman risk them slumping out of the CL spots? They had such a good start to the season that their current abysmal form has been rather concealed, with them still in third. But with us, the Arse, Everton all in better form and catching them...they could finish 6th if they're not careful.

(Mwhahaha)

Jesus christ you're a pessimistic so and so aren't you? Have you ever had anything positive to say about Spurs?

We have just rubbished our whole seasons work by not buying a striker. Am I supposed to be thrilled about it?

Tell you what, I'll bet you 20 we finish outside top 4.

We're a better team now than we were before the window opened, and before it opened we were 4th. Do you think Leandro - having just finished a full season in Brazil and with no premiership experience, would be guaranteed to score goals? More than Defoe and Adebayor?

We're in with a great chance of a top 4 spot. Arsenal are every bit as inconsistent as us right now.

Everton have always been a late comeback team at Goodison haven't they. For as long as I can remember.

We are 4th, but they were still favourites. Do you not learn from history? Mind the gap??? Arsenal will start flying in the latter part of the season, they always do.

No, I didnt really want Leandro. But we could have done with a proven striker to help out. They were available, for cheaper than Leandro.

To be honest I'm fed up of moaning now. You all know my thoughts, time to back the team against west brom.

One last time, Levy has blown our top 4 chances. Hope we win against WBA though. COYS.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the next year or so we find out a lot of the Newcastle signings will have relegation/minimum fee release clauses in their contracts. Considering their precarious league position and circumstances under which they came to the club it would have been prudent to do so. May still be able to pick up a couple of the players.

I've certainly not been crowing about any 'gaps', and I'm fully aware of Arsenal's record in the league compared to us, but they're not favourites at all. It's going to be a dog fight and I'm not saying we're guaranteed a top 4 finish, but we have a great chance. I think Adebayor will finally find some form once he gets back from Africa, and Defoe always has a blip mid season before picking up again.

I'm excited about the rest of this season, and it says a lot that I was more interested in the result of the team above us than the teams below.
