What has surprised me most and has become real apparent this season is how envious Liverpool fans are of the current Spurs side, it has really.gotten into their heads that they cannot finish above them no matter what they spend each season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The level headed among us literally do not care about finishing above spurs unless they were second, and i'm sure the majority of the Spurs' fans feel the same way about us.
We just have a couple of n0b posters, as do Spurs, who argue on every article.

Pretty much sums it up.
Back to the OP. Have Spurs ever been as consistent as they are right now? One for Sandy I think?
Think I saw a stat the other day that shows Poch has the greatest win % of any Spurs manager. Might be sacrilege to say, but if Poch gets us over the line to win the league this year, would that make him our greatest ever manager?
how many do the arsenholes have?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Given the money of the other clubs it's certainly up for debate. Definitely since decimalisation.
All jokes aside I think Poch has been fantastic for Spurs, taken you from top 4 contenders to title contenders with very little spend.
This is why I'm baffled as to Spurs not signing a single player in the window, why rest on your laurels when a deeper squad could see you as even stronger title contenders with the ability to go the distance in a cup competition?
With a squad as thin as Spurs, you can't go deep in all 4 competitions without experiencing burnout which, after a world cup year, is very possible for your squad.
3 or 4 strong additions to the squad and I would rate Spurs much higher than I do. You can put great runs of form together but it's so reliant on 11 players, a few players hid bad form and you've nowhere else to turn to in the squad.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure he would be our greatest ever manager mate, that is still Billy Nicholson, but if Poch does go on to win multiple trophies, then he would be in contention, no question. He does have a great win percentage though in the Prem. Spurs have lost so few games over the past three seasons in the Prem.
He just needs to up his domestic cup record up a bit though.

Not so much you, but there is five or six posters that are always invading articles.
Anyway the last season city blew everyone away, so this wouldn’t of mattered but the two seasons before our start to the season cost us big time. Don’t think city will rack up that many points again so who knows

Happens on our board all the time too Muswell. It's why I've started doing the same on your board as almost every article we post has a load of Spurs fans on it.
It's all becoming rather tedious.

I'd argue that it is a more impressive feat. for Spurs to win now than it was in 61. For the sake of a pointless debating point.

Do you not agree that back in the 60s (for example) it was easier for top quality coaches/managers to implement their ideas. Whereas now, cash is king and forces a footballing monopoly which is so difficult to break as players flock to the financially rich clubs?

Yet Liverpool fans are quick to quote your defensive record since VVD joined you as something to shout about. Why not talk about the entire season?

“Yet Liverpool fans are quick to quote your defensive record since VVD joined you as something to shout about. Why not talk about the entire season?”
Because the discussion is invariably about how VVD has improved our defence. To show this you need to look at the difference before and after he joined.

So this is along the same lines of that then. The time period used for this purpose is made up of the recent group of players in each squad as opposed to 10 years ago or whatever.
Not having a go at you, more so the “there’s no trophy for the 3 year table” bunch and others with similarly childish comments.

I mean it does make logical sense to look specifically at VVD's time at the club when discussing his impact on the team... I think that's what FieldsofAnnieRoad means.
We usually look at that defensive record when VVD is being questioned as it's the best indicator.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I will give you that cash runs the game these days. It does seem those with the most money win all the trophies.
The PL should change the length of its competition, should make it last over three years period instead of one. Problem with that is would still leave Spurs short to win the epl (provided that the stats given in the OP are correct).
I think Spurs may buy someone in January.
I said all summer that if they can get a tune out of Moura they'll be fine (not that I wasn't surprise that they didn't sign anyone) but last night's result is very impressive. It wouldnt be a surprise to see them beat Liverpool at Wembley either and I feel whoever has the best record I'm the h2h's from the top six will win the league.
Spurs have done business in Jan before, teams drop out of the CL, players fall out of favour and so on. Poch has already said he'll only sign someone who is better than what he has so if they do get a transfer over the line it'll likely be a good player who could help them kick on.

I think Pastor would be a good signing for Spurs. Looks like Son has a good chance of avoiding national service too (ridiculous situation). There are definitely players out there and as you say some may come cheaper.

Robbing, I did say a while back that it would be the head to heads of the top half a dozen that would decide in all probability the title. Most of the top teams can beat the rest of the division home and away, so the games between the top half a dozen become critical. Obviously some points will be dropped against the lesser clubs, but essential a team beats at least one of its rivals at least once.
