What a joke of a club! Tottenham are the laughing stock right now. Really hope they do worse and not qualify for Europe. Levy is ruining the club. Levy out!

Hopefully it settles down and Mason has them playing more attacking football than this turgid, defensive stuff. It was no surprise Conte's No. 2 would also play the same style. I would rather they go down fighting against Man U than the capitulations we've seen so far  And please try some of the younger players like Mundle, and use Danjuma who has seen less action than ENR4 |

Shows how poor quality the 'big six' have. Though it's possible that Lampard could get sacked again if Chelsea are really desperate to hire a new manager however the season is already written off. perhaps the best they can aim for is a top half finish |

I reckon he's staying till the end of the season where Poch will take over from him |

Can I get a definition of 'bottling it'? If it means choking when you are in a good position then please give me examples of why Tottenham are known for that? I expected Tottenham to lose at Newcastle as they dont have a manager and you never change a known formation prior to a big game. Tottenham were in no position to bottle anything (and they generally aren't). Also Newcastle are just a better team and I expect them to beat Arsenal in their next home game too. If Arsenal lose the title (by dropping points to Lesser teams) and they lost top 4 last season, that seems like a couple of bottle jobs for me. Or anytime in the Pep era that City have got knocked out of CL in comical fashion. Are we going back to that lasagne gate at West Ham when Spurs players were sick and they missed out? It's good you asked this question. The 15/16 springs into mind when Leicester won the league. May 2nd 2016 Spurs needed to win that match in order to keep up the pace with Leicester. Only problem was this. That game was at Stamford Bridge, a place where Tottenham hadn't won since 1990 (record broken in 2018). So they had their work cut out for them at that point. They drew and Leicester became champions, from that moment they lost their last few matches, thus allowing Arsenal to sneak up on them to take second place on May 15th 2016. That's one example of them bottling. Another example was 12/13 where Tottenham beat Sunderland 1-0 with Bale getting the strike only for the folks to find that their neighbours was also playing Sunderland's rivals up North and also won their match. I would not call losing the title to Leicester bottling it. They were never really up with them. In fact you could argue it was Arsenal who were ahead at stages that season and like many seasons in the 2010s they lost their way in Feb/March. Spurs fell away the rest of that season by the had CL football and so were not really caring about finishing ahead of Arsenal at the stage. This week is the anniversary of the famous Gerrard slip (possibly on a bottle). That is a good example of bottling it (not including the Palace 3-3 as it was technically in City's hand before that game anyway). I think Tottenham have not been good enough to be in a position to bottle anything really. By my definition of bottling it (being in a good position and losing your nerve), Arsenal have by far more examples in the last 15 years and this season could be another case. |

Nah there's a lot more for Tottenham than there is for Arsenal in the overall grand scheme of things and in that season they were really pressing hard to finish above Arsenal at the end of that season but they let their emotions get to them. The Gerrard slip was a catalyst for Liverpool slipping up and Willian scoring the second goal at Anfield essentially sealed the fate. Crystanbul a week later was the final nail in the coffin. |

Arsenal not winning the league this year would also be considered bottling because they had quite a good lead but threw it away |

By my definition of bottling it (being in a good position and losing your nerve), Arsenal have by far more examples in the last 15 years and this season could be another case. Spurs certainly bottled the chance to get 4th place, but there's been unrest in the squad, with Stellini, and ultimately with Levy who controls where they can leave for (transfers). There was even talk of Kane to Chelsea once Pochettino takes over. If Lampard loses another game, I think it's curtains for him. Todd Boehly has been in the dressing room telling players how bad they are  Chelsea want to unveil Poch as manager to get in a dig at Spurs fans who would love to see him return (the same problems that made him go in the first place are still there, in Levy and tired players like Dier and Davies). The Elephant in the tree that is Arsenal may fall from the boughs soon if they keep throwing away leads. Don't want to see City win the league again, it's getting boring  Spurs are offering compensation for the Newcastle humiliation through their franchisee.  This came through the post today  |

What's your predictions for the City v Arsenal game tonight?
I can't see Arsenal winning however they will put up a fight and I think there will be a lot of goals. I think it will either be 3-3 or 3-2 to City however City could completely humiliate Arsenal, which would in effect be game over for Arsenal and would show how different the two clubs are

Seeing this match. I can't lie the scoreline at the moment is respectable. If this was another goalkeeper it would have been a massacre.
We really have screwed ourselves over. Utter failure.
Nobody can tell me nothing

Gotta laugh at Chelsea, 5 defeats from 5 for Lampard! They may as well have stuck with Graham Potter until the end of the season and surely they now need to get Poch in ASAP? City's title to lose now, in fact the treble is probably their's to lose. |

And please try some of the younger players like Mundle, and use Danjuma who has seen less action than ENR4 
Chelsea want to unveil Poch as manager to get in a dig at Spurs fans who would love to see him return (the same problems that made him go in the first place are still there, in Levy and tired players like Dier and Davies).
