Spike Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Only if Mourinho doesn't have another public meltdown.
Cicero Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 If they are top come the end of January, I'd back them.
The Artful Dodger Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Definitely can. It’s a fairly laboured point but this season is an exceptional one and could we’ll see a surprise package. A lot of other challengers though and their squad hasn’t really been stretched so far. Good signs so far.

Dr. Gonzo Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Is this an attempt at the curse? Because I think the curse requires some pretty specific wording. Spurs can absolutely win it. They have a good squad, a good manager, and are the in form team in England right now.

Bluewolf Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 For sure... With their incredibly effective, cohesive defensive unit and with two world class stars up front I don't see anyone being able to stop them... When you listen to Klopp talking about Liverpool this season they have hardly got any players left that can even kick a ball and the busy fixture list they are under is bound to kill their season at some point so see Spurs being very hard to dislodge from that number one spot now..

How long will their unbeaten run last ?

Winning a league for Chelsea after 50 years and one for Spurs after 60 would be big no matter the context. They'd be at least on the same level imo.

Winning Chelsea a league title when you’re backed by Russia is not Goat worthy, regardless of how long it’s been. Winning the league with Tottenham would be massive obviously, but to start waffling about him being a goat because of it and forgetting the work put in by his predecessor to get Spurs to where they are is just stupid. You’d have a point if he’d taken over at Spurs when Poch did.
DeadLinesman Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 When you see headlines about a North Londoner manager throwing his players under the bus, but it isn’t you.
LFCMike Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Let's see how they cope when Kane has his usual month or so out mid-season. They'll be top four I think but I'd be shocked to see them above this Liverpool side
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted December 6, 2020 Subscriber Posted December 6, 2020 I don't know why I want Mourinho to do well because he's a big cunt pretty often but there's a part of me I can't resist that wants to see him win the league one more time because of all of those hot take merchants who have been calling him finished for the past few years (often with good reason but some people have really reveled in it). For one of the greatest of all time he's also one of the most criticised managers I've ever known. I think the rate of positive/negative opinions you read about him really doesn't reflect what he has achieved in his career, even if a lot of his best moments are a few years behind him now. I still think Liverpool will win the league again but if not, it certainly could be Spurs.
6666 Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 They should win it and it's a complete failure if they don't.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted December 7, 2020 Subscriber Posted December 7, 2020 Of course they can. They have to overcome two things though. One of them is injuries to key players. The other is the mentality, the reputation they have and not letting that get into their heads. Luckily for them I think they have a manager who can overcome the latter. The former, I'm unsure. They're so well set though. So well organised and phenomenal on the break. Contrary to quite a few I really enjoy watching them. There's just something really satisfying about grabbing the lead and battling your way to keep that clean sheet. They do it so well.
