I hope you are right. I rated his (brief) Soton 'performance' quite highly though.

it could come back to haunt me but I think they have a good team that is capable of finishing higher, when have everton been able to say they have two strikers capable of 12+ goals a season. They also have a £27 million pound left back and a £25 million pound midfielder clearly inflated prices due to being English but there squad as a whole is very good and hopefully they lose players so that they don't keep progressing.
 
yes...but the Spurs 'culture' is an embroiling one. If they could get that right, they are a top 4 threat. However, with Levy in charge, their way towards defining their own niche, their own winning culture, is compromised. I believe Pochettino is a step in the right direction...but with Levy in the background (and also forefront), life wont be easy for the Argentinian.

I think they will finish 6th or 7th

Im fascinated by the Spurs situation, be interesting to see what he does there - good manager for my money his system at Southampton was impressive and effective.
 
Modest chap isn't he?

Dier certainly showed calm at the other end, as he rounded Adrian to score the stoppage-time winner. The central defender’s surprise inclusion over Michael Dawson prompted some self-praise from Pochettino. “We have information during the week and pre-season, and we decided. Today we got three points, and I think it is a good decision from the manager.”

LOL. Like he picked a centre-back because he thought he'd score the winning goal.
 
It was a good decision to play him though. Could have gone with Fryers or Veljkovic in the absence of Dawson, Chirices & Vertonghen.

As i said on here after the Schalke friendly, he looks like a steal.

If Chiriches does go it will be a significant departure for other reasons. Étienne Capoue and Paulinho have already left White Hart Lane. Roberto Soldado is “available”. By the end of the summer we could have reached a tipping point in the dissolution of the Magnificent Seven, that odd-job of players signed in a hurry in the summer of 2013 from the proceeds of Gareth Bale’s sale to Real Madrid.

It must be said the failure of the Sons Of Bale isn’t quite as clearcut as is often suggested. That summer Spurs also sold four other first-team players, who between them pretty much covered the incoming Capoue, Paulinho, Chiriches and Nacer Chadli. For the Bale money Christian Eriksen has been a lovely, gossamer, wispy little No10, both oddly peripheral and oddly incisive at the same time. Beyond that there have been two expensive failures in Iberian goal-disaster Soldado and the meandering semi-brilliance of Érik Lamela.
