West Ham have improved of late, they were 7/1 tonight, which was a crazy price.
My theory made earlier in the season off the back of watching Spurs on many occasions is coming true.
Tottenham is completely inept when playing on large grounds or at least do not look half as good since their pressing tactics are tailored for narrow and short pitches.
The games they struggled most this season where either on Wembley or against teams that play on wide pitches (United away, City away, Arsenal away, West Ham away, etc.).
That's weird - I think the Olympic Stadium looks so incredibly narrow and that it looks like all teams struggle with width on this pitch. I made the points numerous times when United played there as well, it annoyed me that it looked hard to create any game on the wings. Maybe it's longer than normal pitches, but it has to be more narrow - or am I just conned by the covered track on the sides?
If the results are favourable, there's a chance that Mourinho would end up winning the title for Chelsea with our trip to Spurs next week![]()

That's why I said if the results are favourable. If Chelsea draw one of their next two games then Spurs dropping points against United would win the title for Chelsea.I don't think that's required. Chelsea need 6 points to win the league and they play on Monday and Friday next week. So they could have won the league before Spurs kick a ball next
Has it been stated that of all EPL teams United have now lost the least amount of games this season (3)?
Probably. We've also drawn about eleventy though.Has it been stated that of all EPL teams United have now lost the least amount of games this season (3)?

Its funny. A few years ago Pochettino said Spurs' poor home form was down to the small size of their pitch, and now their home record is fantastic - the best in the league with 16 wins and 2 draws - but their away record is terrible. Combine Spurs' home record with our away record this season and the hybrid club would be 2 points above Chelsea. Combine our home record with their away record, however, and the club would be eighth on 55 points.My theory made earlier in the season off the back of watching Spurs on many occasions is coming true.

Tonight is end of Tottenham's title dream..
Does Jose select a weaker team vs Arsenal even if City drop points today or what?
Good call.
As for the Utd fans that think Spurs will now take it easy on them, forget it.
All teams want to beat Utd and most teams also want to beat Mourinho. Utd is also one of the best supported teams and players like a full stadium.
I would expect a cracking match.
Hopefully for me the title race will be all over by then.
Who's Remy?Where the feck has Remy been all season, I know he was injured at the start but after that he still wasn't in the squad.
Who's Remy?
Maybe, but it'll still be their last game at WHLIf you win at home to Boro and away to WBA then I can see them being totally deflated. It's only natural. We have to beat Arsenal of course for it to even matter.
Emptyad?When is the crowd news?

It depends how they deal with a very emotional day. They didn't deal with Wembley semi that well or the pressure of going for the league. Spurs are going to have to bring a couple of top class proven winners in. The manager is not a winner, neither are the players. They need someone to instill that in them.Maybe, but it'll still be their last game at WHL
Aguero injured, right?
