Kopite heads falling off over the injustices of not being awarded a goal that wasn’t and a sending off that wasn’t...

They’re too used to getting their own way bet they’re gutted about VAR.
 
4/5 the rs, 6/4 City and 20/1 Spurs. If I was having a bet I would say Spurs at 20/1 were the value. 6 points is not that much to make up.
The only problem with those wonderful Spurs odds is that unfortunately I do feel it's likely that they are likely explode at sometime this season, as per usual.

Out of the three, I would certainly prefer that they won the title but the odds reflect their actual changes.

....and yet they still celebrate the goal v Chelsea in the European Cup semi final.

If you’re as old as me, you might vaguely recall the Reds losing in the 1966 European Cup Winners Cup to a controversial goal where the ball was supposedly out of play.

I'm not as old as you so don't remember that. However, the "ghost goal" that Mourinho has whinged about for years was your classic example of the ref not wanting to give a penalty and send off a goalkeeper and being desperate for the goal to go in so he didn't have to make a decision. It was pretty early in the game, and their record a penalties means it probably helped Chelsea that he gave the goal. They just weren't good enough to take advantage of it. Now that penalty in the quarter final against Arsenal, different story.

Seven if you take GD into account.

If only they had beaten Wolves I would put them right in the mix.

As it stands though, I think 20/1 is plenty short enough a price on them making up that ground on the RS with less than half the season to play.

Who do you think has more talent in their team? I would argue Spurs have more strength in depth, it's just a question if the rs continue to get lucky with injuries. Spurs have Man Utd next up, which will be a good test of their self belief, as Utd have always been a bogey team for them. If they can stay in touch, the game at Anfield will be interesting. @Eggs said there are pivotal games that show where a team is at and cited the rs at City last night and us at Spurs in 1985 (a game I went to and I agree). If Spurs can win at Anfield, which they rarely do, and are in touch at that time they certainly would be in the mix.

I agree with most of what you say....in theory.

In reality, I cannot see Spurs making up a six point deficit from here on in.

And even they do get in front of the RS, there is still City to contend with.

But I would dearly love to be proved wrong as I would prefer Spurs to win it out of the three of them.
