That's where Levy has played it perfectly. With Wembley as a home stadium next season and then the move into the new ground he has made it a very attractive prospect for Poch, and all the big players, to stick around for at least the next two years.

Great article mate

had forgotten about Holtby ! if ever there was a player who divided opinions !!

The decision to move to Wembley based on what we've seen in the CL, isn't looking like a great one, but I know what you mean. It's a great time for us to be moving up in the world, and I agree our character has gone up tenfold since Poch took over. I always expect us to be a competitive team in every game in the league now and just don't see bad losses happening even when we go behind early to a big team.

Holtby

Didn't Benny openly admit to being in football for the money?

Did a good job for us despite his dumb moments.

Am I right in thinking the 5-1 Newcastle debacle is the only time we've conceded more than two goals in a league game since the start of the 15/16 season?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep. Equally as impressive is us not being beaten by more than a goal for this season and last apart from that Newcastle result. Best record in all 4 leagues.

Good post , agree completely with everything you have mentioned.

There was definitely something wrong at spurs once Bale left.

We wasted a load of money on big name players that clearly were not suited to the English game.

Poch had come in gave them a year to prove there worth and got rid of the junk we did Not need.

Poch and spurs is the place to be to the moment.

excellent artice again

with regard to Wembley, I must admit, based on our performances there in the CL this year I'm wonderng if we are doing the right thing. I guess the only alternative woud be MK Dons, I think it was bandied around last season as a possibility? It seemed that the oposition upped their game significantly when we faced them at Wembley. Can see a lot of teams doing simsilar next year. Thoughts?

Pochettini impresses me more and more.

Its not just the coaching, we knew he loved working with young committed players and has the skill to improve.

We knew that his players love him....loads of glowing reports from many (ex-)Saints players about him, what he has done for them personally and professionally.

What I am loving is how he is building the club as a whole. The atmosphere, the pride the commitment shown at all levels. There's clear passage through from the academy and wasters are not tolerated.

I get a real sense of Fergie about him, except he goes about his business in a more mild mannered way. BUT he certainly does get the very best out of players - so many currently playing at the very best of their ability and some even better than anyone could have imagined.... and that is what was one of the things that made Fergie stand out.

Competition is fierce in the EPL>..i hope Poch can take that next step with the team and start picking up trophies, but lets be realistic, from also rans to genuine title contenders in a season is a pretty massive leap forward, and he's still managing this the 'Levy way' - on a smaller budget than many of our rivals.

Poch is the real deal IMO, the longer he stays the better!

Newcastle anomaly aside, the last time we lost a game by more than 1 goal and also last game we conceded more than 2 goals was 9 May 2015, away to Stoke, 3-0.
