this morning, and they had one of these bookies chaps on, who when discussing Spurs v Man City tomorrow, said that he expected City to win, fair enough, he then went on to say that Spurs were very soft away from home.
Were do they get this myth that Spurs are soft away from home.
Season 2012/13 only one prem team won more away games than Spurs.
Season 2013/14 only one prem team won more away games than Spurs.
Season 2014/15 Unbeaten away from home in all competitions.
Spurs are anything but soft away from home these days. It is the home form that is more concerning.
Really annoying though, when you hear it broadcast on air, as if it is some kind of fact.
Listening to a radio station

I am not sure who does the researching for these guys, but whoever it is doesn`t seem to know a lot. It is so easy for pundits, broadcasters to say something on TV or Radio as if it is some kind of fact, when in truth it is a straightforward lie. Trouble is, a lot of listeners, viewers hear it as the truth, when it is anything but.

so true. An ex cricketer comes out with innacurate bollox and everyone thinks its fact

Never take any notice of what any bookie tells you, or anybody who appears on Talksheet for that matter
Spurs are better away from home, we bottle it at WHL time and time again

I never get any positive vibes about Spurs through the wire. Even today listening to XFM they run that BT sport advert with Ian Darke giving me a kick every half hour. What was his name?...Kompany. 5-0? Give it a rest.

Spurs are seen as an easy touch by the media. The same media would never rubbish Liverpool like they do Spurs.

So true, Liverpool are the media`s darlings and a positive spin is placed on them no matter what.
For Spurs, who have finished above Liverpool in 4 of the last 5 seasons, it is the exact opposite.

I've been all over the country watching us and we used to be piff poor up north but as you said we've been decent in the last few seasons apart from a few hidings at city and Liverpool.
I'm surprised gough or the shock jock that is Adrian Durham have taken there tongues out of kp's bottom.
