If we're all honest, right now no-one (ourselves included) really believes Spurs are challenging for the title. It feels like we're very slightly short of the mark. A statement win at Anfield would change that.

I think we did control the game and we did create genuine chances. Two guilt edge misses by Kane and Alli stand out.

Agreed - there were enough clear chances in the first half to have the game won by the interval. Son 1-on-1, Kane header, Alli shot from 10 yards. Also Toby hit the post. Only disappointing thing was that we were so wasteful and that meant a nervy last few minutes.

Would be massive, especially with Chelsea not playing until Sunday, have a bad feeling though Liverpool bit of a bogey side for us, especially at Anfield. Can just see them sorting their shit out against us, would be fuckin typical, also not helping with Jan and Rose injured.

From Foxes talk:
I'd prefer to go down than to cheer on the spuds.


Although to be fair that's one bloke. The rest were all cheering us on today through gritted teeth:


Don't let us down spuds, the one time I don't want the legends to bottle it

C'mon Spurs. Only 6 more goals and we jump Boro.

Always had a soft spot for the modern day Spurs with their dashingly handsome centre forward and honest fair playing Midfielder Alli, not a hint of arrogance amongst those fine examples of pleasant chaps.

If this is what being gift wrapped the fairytale league title and being a major embarrassment the season after makes you, I'd rather not have won it at all.

In the true spirit of this thread, here it is:

No one is entirely sure. The first mention of "wank puffin" on Twitter was on Christmas Day 2015, when a man in the UK discovered it was his elderly mother's Wi-Fi password. It set off a flood of tweets using the term, which was perhaps the inspiration behind Milk the Cow Podcast's insult to Trump in February.
The only earlier mention is on a bunch of random chat forums in 2014, but the word didn't appear to gain any traction then. ​

It's unlikely we will beat Liverpool I am expecting a 1-1 draw which I would take right now with both hands, they may be in shit form and frankly we are good enough to beat them but we have a poor record at Anfield and they will have their game of the season, they will be looking to make a point and will put everything they have into this game.

That's not to say we can't beat them it's just to say it's not unrealistic to believe they are the favourites going into it.

That elderly mother thing sounds very made up.

In recent years we've gone to Old Trafford and won twice, City away only last season, and beat Liverpool's at Anfield in 2011.
It's only really Arsenal and definitely chelsea that we never win away to.
