I'm not sure if I agree with SM here, it was a challenge, but not a serious one as we kept passing up the opportunities to really crank up the pressure. Season has been a missed opportunity, if they'd dug deep last summer / Christmas I dare say we'd be looking at a different scenario right now. He better give DM the right backing as it will be tougher next year. That much is guaranteed.

Lambert is to leave Blackburn at the end of the season. Wonder if he's preparing himself for the timmy job given that he's activated the clause in his contract himself.

He is the only one in that team that has the balls to do it. Every one of that team should be capable of giving those scum bags abuse / banter (delete as appropriate) and I love it when he does. Edit: He said that European football was a major factor in him staying.

I'd agree with that. Is Hemmings on loan there?

Massive news! So chuffed about this.

Justice served today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36138337 Jury found match commander was responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence due to a breach of his duty of care. Wonder if the police will treat fans better on the back of this...

Will be incredibly difficult to see him leave. Clubfoot plays there does he not?

Agreed, spurs have done an us. Or a hibs. West Bromwich played very well in the second half.

Having checked with a Dresden supporting mate, he's not heard of him and said if anyone has any talent the club are now in a position to hold onto them or get lots of money for them. So given he left not having made a first team appearance...that said, he lives in Australia now anyway!

very true and great read.

I have enjoyed watching Spurs more than I have Leicester. Seeing young talent like they have come through has been good to see. Alli's goal against Palace was one of the goals of the season.

That is something we've been saying for years and I was amazed to read after the game that McInnes finally highlighted this fact. How he only now realises this is beyond me. It's been something the fans have been crying out for every single transfer window. I genuinely believe we need two new centre halves. What's apparent from that performance is that Reynolds can't bring someone through a game, although I would have to blame the tactics on that one too. The back 3 hasn't worked domestically, why bother persisting with it. Shinnie is a left back. Keep him there. The results elsewhere weekend just highlight what is wrong with the team, another opportunity missed

Haha I do have a soft spot for spurs and seeing them do one over the gooners would bring me great pleasure. To see them not only finish above them but win it would be brilliant. Been greatly impressed with how they've run their club and have a great mix of academy product as well as imported talent. Shame it's the same year as Leicester.

Would be fantastic if spurs managed it but cant see it, Leicester have been so consistent and that was quite a resounding victory today!

Christ that's an easy end for Burnley if they need it.

Standard working day...

Complete shock, doubt it could have been flu mind

So, first game of the split and the team have had a two week break after the last debacle. Sounds like Jack should be fit again but not sure i'd start him after his last knock. We've not got a great record against them home or away but we are both on similar form at the moment. Hopefully the team have regrouped and made use of the rest, we cannot afford to rest on our laurels because Hearts have us in their sights.

See we've been linked with Alex Schalk from County. Scored plenty of goals but i've not seen anywhere near enough of him to judge. Any good? Given that it is in the sun I also think it's shite but that's by the by.

Another person who has taken a club as far as he can. He should have gone in the summer as Everton have just gone backwards since. Shame to see.

Feeling generous about your age Al?

I'm a bit saddened by this, we really missed an opportunity here. He is/was shite.

Thought spurs played really well, tore Stoke apart minus a brief 10 minute spell. was an enjoyable watch.

McInnes not have any jaap stam contacts or the like? But seriously, I agree, I think we need to be a bit more imaginative with the transfers. BTR had some good suggestions but I cant see the fees being paid. Seriously think that this season has been a massive missed opportunity.

Quite amusing really. Would love it if they got pipped to the title Spurs currently one up at Stoke. Nice finish from kane for the goal. Would love them to do it. Shame that it's the same season as Leicester.
