Best team in the league always wins the league in my opinion.

Chelsea have looked nowhere near as good over this last month or so. If we can win tomorrow then Spurs have a really good chance.
Totally agree, it's a joy to behold. Never seen such belief in a Spurs squad.
Glaston aside, I'd find it rather satisfying if Chelsea got pipped by Spurs for the title.
Know a few too many Chelsea glory boys.

What's the joke?
Yeah and it's also fair to say that @GlastonSpur has won this thread and left a few looking foolish
Wanted Pochettino.
Well, that's water under the bridge.

They don't have lots of pace in their front 3/4 but play with such speed. The passing is crisp and purposeful. They've totally exposed Bournemouth's insistence on playing out from the back by effectively pressing near enough all game.
They remind me of us at Fergie's peak in terms of style. They absolutely need to win something really meaningful with Pochettino.

When you watch the likes of Spurs and Chelsea play we have fallen so far behind it's unreal.
Same.Looked suited to our style of playWanted Pochettino.
Well, that's water under the bridge.
He says the same shite every year. Had to eventually get it right. Been here 10 years so he is right 10% of the time.
All you lot who voted that they wouldn't get top 4 this year are silly.
Entire team still running hard, chasing down every ball and having the desire to score in injury time despite being 3-0 up.
This Spurs team have everything
This Spurs team have everything
Joint top scorers with Liverpool now with 68 goals. A whole 22 goals more than United.
What i admire most of them is the way they shoot from outside the box. Arsenal would just pass it to death.
But we have the most chances created in the league
Watching them is bloody depressing. Football is just depressing at this point.
To be fair, the majority thought it would be a close race between United and City for the title this year. I doubt many would predict United and Arsenal falling out the top 4 and the title being contested between Spurs and Chelsea.
Not true. There have plenty of seasons when I have not predicted a top 4 finish for Spurs.
Would love it if they won the league, even though some of there fans are unbearable they have a class young team and manager.
The press are so up Conte and Hazards arse and it would serve all those smug plastic fans of theirs right for slagging off Mourinho all season.

So if the unthinkable happens tomorrow and we beat Chelsea, I reckon Chelsea's arse could go in the run-in. Spurs very well placed now just 4 points behind.
All Spurs fans are Manc fans for a day tomorrow.
After this weekend:
Chelsea's remaining PL games: Southampton H, Everton A, Boro H, West Brom A, Watford H, Sunderland H
Spurs' remaining PL games: Palace A, Arsenal H, West Ham A, United H, Leicester A, Hull A
As much as I'd like for it to happen, Spurs' games are just tougher.
Possibly the only top 6 side which is bigger than the sum of its parts. On paper they look the worst among the top 6, but on pitch, they can give any side a match
On paper, they are better than Liverpool.
Chelsea still big favourites, but the pendulum will start to swing if United can win tomorrow. It's good that our goal difference is now +6 compared to Chelski, because who knows, the title could even come down to that.
How do they look worse than Liverpool on paper?
Same here. Kind of annoyed how Glaston has destroyed me potentially enjoying Spurs beating Chelsea to the title.
This isn't true in the slightest though. Ali, Eriksen, Dembele, Kane and even Son would walk into our first eleven.
On paper their first 11 is arguably the best.
Their Utd game will be their last at WHL, so I expect them to win that game and considering the way Arsenal are playing, they can win that game as well, they will get a draw even if Arsenal decide to show up.
I hope you do win tomorrow and Spurs end up winning the league. Meltdown at the Bridge would be so much fun.
Great team. They have so many underrated players that put in brilliant performances week after week: Lloris, Walker, Dembele, Son, Eriksen.
Might be an unpopular opinion but I'll just throw this out there. This is as good a Spurs team as it gets, with most of their players in and around their respective peaks. I don't think they can improve on this next season. They've reached the pinnacle that they've been building towards for several years.

The FA Cup games will shape the end of the season imo. If Chelsea lose and Spurs go to the Final then it's going to be a huge boost to their confidence in the League while it will put even more pressure on Chelsea. If Spurs get beat, then Chelsea will probably do the double.
Ali can still improve. Not sure Kane will, though.
I'm pretty sure had you said that at the start of the season, people would've ridiculed you. On pitch, the statement is true but on paper, it's not true. Chelsea, City and us have a better XI on paper and possibly Arsenal fans would've claimed the same at the season's start
Let's win for Spurs tomorrow
Their best players are still yet to hit their peak, Eriksen, Alli and Kane are just going to get better next season. Lloris and Alderweireld are at good ages too, the only player that might start declining soon is Dembele.
Lucky for us games are played on the pitch and not on paper then.
