One of the top 5-10 teams in the world and proven winners.
I suggest you proceed straight to your manager’s office and request that Monday off work.
we tend to look back on previous title winning campaigns with rose tinted glasses in the sense that most prominent in our mind is the times we steamrollered opponents. But, in fact, in the majority of games we slogged our way to results.
So, when people say we’re not playing well enough to win the league, I’m not sure we need to be.
After the Bournemouth game, people were obviously happy with the result, but mainly seemed underwhelmed by the performance, as if going 2-0 up early doors away from home and then shutting the game down isn’t the stuff of champions.
The belief or suspicion that perhaps we took the proverbial foot off the pedal which of course shows a complete lack of respect for Bournemouth’s efforts, however going 2 up so early would suggest to the ignorant scum of the earth football supporter that pressing on for 3-4 or more is possible.
Given how tight things are goal difference could yet be important. I was surprised to see Spurs so far ahead in this respect.
I would agree, though, that we’ve not scored enough goals this season and that could still cost us.
I listened on Monday evening to Spurs title credentials being dismissed because they won’t score enough goals.
I’ve just now checked and they are second highest scorers in the league, by a deficit of just 1.
The pundits were Cascarino and Lawrenson
"One of the top 5-10 teams in the world". We have not been even one of the top eight teams in Europe for many years.
Still by far the greatest team the world has ever seen, of course. But then anything is possible in song. A famous footballer or rocksinger. Or a big film star.
seven games where they play their very best and crush opponents.
There's another one out now btw. I wish he could be in the studio when Merson is shouting "Arsenal have no plan B! They only ever play one way!"
Two AMC references in 2 days, I commend you A.
Ftr we are not one of the biggest clubs in Europe by a long way but we are fully paid up members of the increasingly large group just below.
