Congrats to @nsno-chris , @hktoffee , and @daz4matty for their contribution to the thread.

This has landed each of them a well earned position on the bell list.

As always they are in great company.

They will receive full notification via personal message.

All this talk of a young side learning but Spurs have a young side of Kane, Alli, Dier etc. and will be 6 points ahead if they win chelsea tomorrow despite the added games of the Europa being contended with.

I think it's poor defensive organisation that costs us. Alongside the fact despite Barry and Kone being decent this season, the leagues becoming more quicker/need for athleticism (look at Leicester) when you have a 34 year old covering the defence and a 32 year old out on the wing shielding a 19 year old lad playing out of position you always run the risk of being done.

Big difference is that Spurs have Pochettino who is a very very good manager. I like RM but his coaching/tactical nous is not at Pochettino's level.

There were a few frothing at the mouth before so I imagine ther have been a few heated exchanges.

They also have a world class keeper and 170m spent on players in three seasons

Money doesn't matter though

How much have Leicester spent on theirs?

Remember Blackpool, Hull, Bolton etc?

Where are they now?

Chico still in the hole, otherwise there'd be potential tonight!

He's got about an hour and a half until his return.

They also sold Bale Modric and Van der Vaart yet we kept hold of our players.

With you. We have been great this season. Imagine a couple of things being different right now and sitting in a top 3 position as we speak. How excited would we all be in here?
The concern is keeping them together.

I think our losing two or three of our young guns is inevitable. But I'll worry about that when I have to. Until then, let's just enjoy watching them in an Everton shirt.

Ok mate

You're going on about how much Spurs have spent ignoring that they financed this selling their best players.

Since VDV was sold they have spent 245m on players

We have spent 319m since 1992

Haha. I was thinking the same earlier.

Most of it came right after the match. A wild nsno-chris appeared, but Froth was the only move he had.
