No club will go invincible again.
Competition is too close now.
Was easy back in the old days when Woolwich fluked it.

Ange is 52 games unbeaten at home. It’s up to the fans on Monday to make it 53
I think we’ll needs some players too
Be great to go unbeaten at home for the whole season.
The flip side is that by the start of December we will have only played 1 team out of the current top 10 away from home.
So quite a task lies ahead to remain unbeaten all season.

And dived for pens. Only Liverpool get penalties for dives now.
Good, we will start to play teams who will come out and play instead of sitting back, even better for us.
I hope this thread isn’t published anywhere Dr Tottenham is known to read.
He’ll be getting the scalpel out and hiding the anaesthetic in record time.

I think people are getting carried away here, it’s important to remain grounded in reality. We wont stay undefeated forever. Ange has been very clear that he sees himself on a Greek island when he is Roy Hodgson’s age so we can only guarantee staying unbeaten for the next 18 seasons, after that there is a chance someone might, possibly, beat us. Maybe. I know its hard to imagine but I think we should prepare ourselves for that small chance one day.
No disrespect but that’s fairly disingenuous. The point is, the vast majority of the team were Tottenham players before Ange came in. Only Vic, VDV and Madders are new signings for a combined price roughly equal to Kane sale value. And we look like a completely different team.
Ange’s success reflects poorly on Conte. I reckon when Conte gets back into management if he is asked by press any questions about why Ange has been successful with his Spurs players, the answer will be hilariously scapegoating.
Oh I dunno, if we can stick 6,000 people in goal, then play a solid back 4,000 formation, with 2,000 holding CMs protecting them, then we can afford to have 25,000 people further up the middle of the park, spraying the ball out wide to the 4,000 wingers and play a 13,000 pronged attack, we might have a chance!!
+ that allows for a full quota of 6,000 to come off the bench if we need reinforcements!!!
....and yes, I rounded down!
Making our home ground a fortress is the building blocks to be successful. I think playing the better teams away from home suit us better as teams won’t sit in. Whether that’s a top team or not the we play a way that will hurt them. We will take goals off from he likes of the open teams like Brighton and Villa because they don’t have the pace defensively to play that way.
Would the points they got that season even get you second now though? Don’t get me wrong it’s great going the season without losing but if I remember correctly they had a lot of draws, they were playing not to lose where as now if you want to win the league you have to play every game to win!
Similar with Leicester winning season. Only 81 points and a lot of draws.
Only lost 3 games. Woolwich x 2 and Liverpool away. But only +32 GD
They had an awful lot of things work in their favour that season.
We’ve had a much better start than they did though. On target for a +90 season if we can keep this going.
Must be a great feeling to go onto training every Monday looking at the league table.
