I don't mind United, there's more than enough genuine rivals out there for us Spurs fans no need to fabricate a rivalry with a club that's not local to us.
I remember when they were the only club standing in the way of Wenger's Woolwich and then Chelsea, in particular in the CL final in 2008.
Some of their media cheerleaders are nauseating but I switch off when they're on anyway!
Atalanta are Italian, don't like Italian clubs nor their national team.
United are getting top 4 because of one person, Ronaldo. He will single handily drag them into the top 4. That’s what you get when you back the manager and buy world class players. Take note bald cunt!!!
Lesson two; £5 bet at odds of 11/2 paid out £32.50 it's called a no lose bet as I'd have gladly paid a fiver to see them lose or draw!I'm not a betting man so have no idea what 5/1 means to be honest!

Called it last season, he's dynamic enough for the prem, for us I think he could have been the RWF to compliment Son Kane, then if Kane went to had contingency. But we gazed higher thinking Kane was going, I guess...?Yeah, I don't see Vardy as an automatic starter every week these days. But there's still plenty of football left in him, even at Premier League level. Though if Daka performs anything like he did today for them consistently he might find himself on the bench a bit more often!
Steady on. They eventually won against moderate Italian opposition who were gassed after an hour. For all the money that’s been spent at Old Trafford, it’s a bit of a joke that they don’t have any kind of balance to the team or structure to the way they play.Ronaldo is simply incomparable unless we are talking Messi of course.
The desire to still give everything us just impossible to comprehend.
Makes me sick.
As I said earlier in the thread there is something about United and Soljskaer that seems to transcend sense.
Missing 5 first choice defenders tooSteady on. They eventually won against moderate Italian opposition who were gassed after an hour. For all the money that’s been spent at Old Trafford, it’s a bit of a joke that they don’t have any kind of balance to the team or structure to the way they play.
We're literally above them as we speak and they haven't played anyone decent and we haven't even been good.
relax yourself.
United have a better team than us.
Man U have a stockpile of some of the best talent in the league. They rarely play as an effective coherent team though.We all know how this ends. We are not getting top 4, and beating Villa and Newcastle hasn’t suddenly made that possible. It’s Just being realistic. United have a better team than us.

So did Villa allegedly......
And Everton.....
And.....
Well, I guarantee they finish above us and get a top 4 place. I think people need to calm down a bit predicting top 4 again. We are nowhere near it and won’t be by the end of the season. It’s not negative, it’s being realistic

In fairness, United definitely do have a better team than us. But Nuno is a better coach than Ole and miracles have happened before, so who knows? Football can be weird, there's almost no absolutes.
Man for man, they obviously have the jump on us.
Said before the season even started; if any of the 'obv 4' stumble we must be in a position to capitalise..... That's all we can do.
Right now based on PPG we're on track for 72 points. Will that be enough? Will we improve? Will we deteriorate? Who knows... Plenty of twists left in the road..... No prizes for being the first to write us off though(*).
(*Not that you were; but that's the stock mentality I was responding to.)
