I would honestly put Leicester in grade B, they are better than us currently.

Grade D should be West Ham - any Spurs manager should get the old tic tac if they finish below those chancers

United have as much money to spend as City and Chelsea to be fair!

That would be the Leicester who are below us in the table and have lost 3 games already?

The Leicester who got their deals done early but this has had no positive impact on their team and performances so far?

Nah. They have issues like the rest of us in Grade C.

Would say this is very harsh, if we get 5th Nuno would deserve atleast a B and if we got top 4 he'd automatically deserve an A+

Finishing ahead of Liverpool or United would be a miracle

Like or not. West Ham have caught us up and should be mentioned too.

That’s right, the Leicester who won the FA cup a few months ago and finished above us in the league for the second time in a row. Of course what sort of barometer is that compared to the first 5 games of the new season.

Not convinced, they massively over performed last year and have no depth whatsoever. I think Europe will take its toll on them and they will limp home in 10/11th

Spurs are same level as Everton West Ham, fantastic stadium, but same level

They have signed Zouma, A centre mid and a striker from Eastern Europe. At least they have some back ups for Antonio and Rice/Soucek. Something we do not have.

They beat the team in Europe 2nil last week who had a manager in jail when we lost to lol. They were unlucky against Utd as well.

All very well saying Leicester and West Ham will drop off from last season but they have recruited in the right areas and have more depth than us.

We are also in Europe too with less depth in our squad compared to theirs. I would not underestimate them at all.

Leicester are better than us, they have proven that over the last 2 seasons. West Ham got lucky with injuries last year and did nothing in the cups.

They have 3 problems this year:

1. They still have a small squad and injuries could be a bigger issue for them than most
2. More games due to Europe and all that entails
3. More of the bottom half of the Prem will be happy nicking a point at their gaff - let’s see how they do when teams just sit deep and look to counter

Anyway according to the hyperbole we will finish with a grade D at the moment. Nuno will be out by Xmas, Kane and Son will not carry us as Kane is not interested.

Hyperbole or realism? The more I look at it the more I think grade D at this moment in time.

Nuno needs to find a solution as soon as possible otherwise the defeats will keep stacking up and the pressure will grow.

The pressure should grow, but it should grow on Levy. Nuno is know alchemist, you can’t give him pizz, shiiite and puke and ask him to make gold out of it.

You did watch us last week against Rennes I take it? Two of our forwards had to come off amd we don't know when they are back.

All three of your statement apply to us as well. We have loads of defenders but are weak in midfield and up top.

When bottom half teams come to the lane and park the bus we will fail to break some of those teams down and on some occassions their GK will have a worldie. We have seen it time and time again.

The pressure will grow on Nuno first, then Paratici then Levy. Levy will not be sacked or go. This what happens when you have a DoF. It gives Levy a scapegoat.

I don't buy this "our rivals" stuff. Surely everyone in the league is a rival and we have to aim to take as many points off all of them as they can take points off us. Surely have to aim and strive for the top..... else what's the point. After all our moto is "too dare is to do"......First and foremost the players are to blame most they never look like they want to win games and dont fight when the chips are down. I dont bleeive its anything but the players at fault. three managers cannot get a tune then you are stuffed. Kane has defo downed tools and is just picking up his wages til he can move on.

I also think the training ground needs a curse removing from it. How many players have we bought over the years who are supposed be the next this or that and all bar a few have turned out to be total shat,.,,,,

Should Spurs not be compared to other teams who have not won anything in 13 years? So well below Wigan and Swansea and just below Canvey Island who won the Essex Senior Cup in 2012.

Points 2 and 3 we are vastly more experienced on. Point 1 is applicable to both sides

We are a grade C team that will, at best, achieve grade C. The difference with managers like Poch and Rodgers is that they can take a grade D team and have them punching near to the B's. That's the difference. Our recruitment in terms of players and managing staff is woeful compared to Leicester. They're the true barrier to us achieving par this year. The days of us competing with the B's and A's are long gone.

include west ham instead of arsenal in grade c

grade d is arsenal, brighton and crystal palace

Nuno gets a grade A from me if we win the Euro conference and finish top 6 - I can’t see how he can be expected to do better than that this season.

SO you'd put them in B with Utd who have vastly greater resources, came 2nd last year 3rd the year before, above Leicester, reached the ECL final and Liverpool who are recent PL and UCL Champions . Not for me. Leicester are much closer to us than they to Utd & LFC, despite their FA Cup win. Last 2 seasons league table bares this out as does the current league table
