It's a good thing you're not picking on England because you should probably wait for your country to score its first ever goal against them first.

Very accurate. Last time we played was 2003. It has been 13 years. If we ever matchup with them, we have a chance as much as they do at minimum.

England national team is flat out terrible. They are not even Arsenal within national teams. Beyond that. Very dramatic and sad.

If Klopp had arrived earlier in Liverpool they would be in the title race right now.

Excited for next year.

Is Janmaat one of the worst defenders in the prem?

this is why the EPL is the best league in the world. Liverpool were looking like they would win about 6 nil and Southampton came back and won

It might be the most balanced league but certainly not the best.

It may not have the best team or two but it's clearly the best league.

It must be boring to have leagues where only 1 or 2 teams can win - EVERY season.

Man City have looked very average. They really aren't a good team without Kompany at the back.

Demichelis playing that James Harden defence out there. I think City would be better off with a forward in his spot.

3-0 to Spurs now. Absolutely delightful football on display here.

Probably the best stuff we've played since the Bale/Modric/VDV days.

I realise that our 5 point lead is a big advantage for us but I feel this victory could give you the confidence you need to take the title.

We may have to win every game but 1 to make sure of the title. :(

After today's games it looks like a 2 team race to the title.

Spurs next 2 games are going to be really big games.

I'm looking at the upcoming fixtures:

Liverpool vs. Spurs (we haven't won there in years)
Leicester vs. Southampton

Sunderland vs. Leicester
Spurs vs. Man United

Leicester vs. West Ham
Stoke vs. Spurs (Britannia is a tough ground for us)

I think the ball is very much in your court, and to be honest your players don't look nervous at all. I understand the jitters though, I'm still looking behind us for the top four race, even though we're in a very good position in regards to that.

Liverpool away should be a loss for you (but who knows with Pool these days) and possibly Chelsea away.

Manure and Chelsea away are possible losses for us.

Other than that I think our schedules are similar our other away games are Newc and Sunderland. We both play Southampton at home. Our home matches are a bit tougher than yours maybe but you have Stoke away to balance it out.

I'm happy to have built the 5pt lead. Liverpool after the break is big for you.

Let's hope all of our internationals come back fit and healthy from the international break and the best team can take the title.

p.s. 5 point lead is really 4 points given your better GD.
