Fantastic performance, fantastic result.
And all without Kane in the main.
Shame Janssen couldn't have scored at least one of those gilt-edged chances but he does offer brute strength and i still think in time he will prove a good buy.
Good to see another clean sheet too!
On to Bournemouth next weekend; they will be a harder nut to crack imo as they have more pace, movement and that 'chaos factor' that sometimes i think can be the undoing of well-drilled sides like ours. If we win vs Bournemouth next weekend and win with a good performance (and one which doesn't lead to us being complacent) then i think we'll beat Chelsea in the cup semi and take the title race to the last weekend.

The bigger question is - do we go with a brick OMT, which has served us so well in recent games , or go for a mutts nuts one?
Tricky, no?
I really do understand how you guys feel and its understandable, however in the 50 plus years of calling the Lane my home i have seen many changes, different stands, seating, changes etc and i am treating this as just another one. I will still get to the games the same way, i will be at same place i have been lucky enough to have seen MANY great players wearing our shirt and so many brilliant games. It may be called something different but it will ALWAYS be the Lane to me.
They may take away the old seats, toilets ( needed to do that for a while) and have a brand new building but its the Lane and the hallowed ground its on will always have my heart.
Ashamed to be Sherwood, but proud to be Putin.?
Indeed; i will see who steps up to the plate before heeding the call of the OMT gods and being a good disciple myself...btw, did you not do the Bournemouth away OMT last season when Harry got a hattrick in a 5-1 demolition?
I did indeed. Well remembered. And that was after a series of dodgy results and no one else seemed willing to step up. I did the OMT for Burnley away this season too after there wasn't one posted within I think about 48 hours of the game itself . Despite stepping up, I got roundly pilloried.
Or is there some new tradition like "our Dutch contingent", "is Bassong suspended " , "serious relegation fears" , "any adorably cute photos of animals yet" etc etc, with which I am not familiar?
Why overachieved? West Ham overachieved last season. So too did Leicester. We're just playing to our continuously expanding potential. The fact we've been the one consistent team over the past couple of seasons doesn't lie.oh i'm enjoying it, whatever happens from here on in we have over achieved this season

This^based on our financial resources compared to others
That bottem line - extraordinary. How Levy gets away with it I don't know but long may it continue.This^
Spurs are earning by far the most points per pound spent and we'd be top of the table now if it weren't for those dastardly Russian lottery winners trying to buy another title...

Guess I should've put the caveat "of teams competing for European places"I think Burnley would get the points per £££ thing as their spend and wages are very low
I know this is nitpicking, but I think of that as punching above our financial weight. Over achieving means we're getting better results than our quality would dictate and that is clearly not the case with this team. If anything, we probably slightly under achieving.based on our financial resources compared to others

Did you have us down as finishing in the top two at the beginning of the season?
I did!!!
I had us down to win the league. I always do. No point entering a competition if you don't think you can win it
