Well you shouldn't have sold Darren Bent either than

Well, I for one am very proud of Tottenham's performances this season.  Yes, we have lacked a real goal scorer and have had some disappointing results of late but boy oh boy did we entertain in the Champions League and despite not winning much of late we have impressed against Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City.  A bit more luck, better officiating, a fully fit Bale and a new striker (or two) and we could be decent challengers for the title next season, especially as we won't have the distraction of the Champions League!!

P.S.  Good luck Utd and Stoke in your forthcoming finals!!  

Fair post Karl.... i have enjoyed watching Spurs this season as they have played some entertaining football. Maybe one or two assured purchases will see Spurs press for a CL place next season. Bale needs to stay fit and also put in performaces week in week out, he seems to go missing too aften.

Part of Bale's problem is he goes down too easily looking for the foul (yes the Charlie Adam tackle was pretty bad) and refs have now wised up to his antics. Modric, to a lesser extent, is the same.

As Gallas said yesterday, Spurs went into games with so-called lesser teams thinking they'd already won. Now it has come back to bite the team on the bum.

Which gets me to my final point. In many ways the most valuable player for Spurs is Sandro - strong, tough, runs all day and is ready to get on with the game, rather than lying in a heap looking forlornly at the ref. We need a few more Sandros, who have the right attitude and are willing to fight for the cause every EPL game.

Tempting fate I know, given we're playing the Bindippers shortly, but apart from his game against Bolton he has done little wrong in the league this season, which is why he is rapidly turning into a fans' favourite.

Bale has struggled at times due to Spurs having less of a threat on the right when Lennon is injured/off form, and the opposition is able to concentrate on nullifying Bale without having to worry about an attack from the other flank.

I think Spurs will face a battle to keep hold of Sandro, with some big European clubs sniffing round.

They've had a strikeforce disrupted by injury, but Redknapp's use of the strikers at his disposal has been puzzling at times (quite what Robbie Keane's done to upset him is a mystery, but his lengthy spells out of the team in the first half of the season have effectively ended his career as a top flight player, because on his showings for WHU, his match fitness and, perhaps, mental motivation seem to have deserted him totally)

Overall, Spurs have done better this season than I thought they would. Although I think I tipped them for 6th or 7th place before the season, their efforts in the ECL (their first time) and up until recently in the League have to be applauded. Could even still end up with the booby prize of 5th place.

Comment about 'Arry on the Spurs board. Sums it up.

''He doesn't know the wages, he doesn't know how to rotate a squad, he doesn't know how much money he's got to spend, does he fcking know anything?''

Here is the latest form guide. Quite frankly, it makes for abysmal reading.

Blackburn currently 1-0 up against Man Utd, unfortunately it won't stay that way and United will be crowned champions in just over half an hour.

It sounds like a cracking game between Blackpool and Bolton, currently 3-3.

With all thats happened today WHU virtually relegated

No virtual now.

Welcome to Elland Road, Ashton Gate etc. You'll remember what football was really about before the thieves took it away from you.

I do hope that Wigan stay up. Not because I love them but because I don't want to dilute the passion of the Championship.

Quite. Back to 7k crowds for Wigan next season if they're down. The most insignificant  team to ever 'grace' the Prem, and yes, I do include Swindon in that believe it or not

I try and avoid the results especially on days like this so there I am watching MOTD2 my beloved Hammers go 2-0 up , I stupidly said to my wife they cant lose this one, oh yes they can, Championship for us I`m afraid and it may be a long time before we` grace` the Premiership again,

One of the Liverpool fans had his clothes stolen at the Spurs game.

SHould make for an exciting last day though with Wigan getting a result, mt tips for the drop are Blackpool and Birmingham with Wigan, Blackburn and Wolves escaping...

England one of three countries officially allocated an extra spot next season under UEFA's fair play rules. If Liverpool finish fifth the extra place would go to Spurs, based on the current table. I never thought I'd say this but we now need to finish fifth.

That's because the poor sods qualifying for the tournament through the dubious 'fair play' back door will have to assemble their players in SIX BLOODY WEEKS. Totally insane.

It's the Europa League that the extra spot is for. The CL is brilliant! 

I suppose not if you want to take the literal definition of champions. The problem is that just including the winners of each league would mean losing some brilliant teams. Nothing matches (for me anyway) the feeling of playing in Europe. I love European nights, nothing like them! 

Off topic but I just remembered when Liverpool didn't make the champions league:

"Liverpool hasn't lost the champions league, the champions league has lost Liverpool."

You've hit the nail on the head Matty. I myself have always assumed "Champions" to mean league winners' i.e the team that finishes in 1st place in a given league at the end of a season. In my view, the old name of "European Cup" would be more appropriate now given that so many of the teams that make up the competition are non-champions.

And the goalie heavily linked with man utd does this.........

Going a bit off topic here...tho i also agree with Matty and David. I prefer the old style European Cup a tournament only open to champions of each nation plus the present holder of the trophy. Tho money is the driving force !

SAF didn't even bother responding to the FA over their latest charge. Probably the best approach to take from now on.

Thankfully, we've only got another season or so of Bacon face. Then he can go into quiet retirement along with his Alzheimer's.
