Beat me to it. That was the first headline I saw, 'Spurs blow title chance'
Pathetic journalism. No, Liverpool at Palace and Gerrards slip. United 8pts clear of City. Saudi Sportswashing Machine 11pts clear of United. Those my friends, are teams blowing the title, not a team 8pts behind with 4 games left.
And people wonder why I have to take blood pressure tablets for the rest of my life. f#ckin press busw@nkers

There seems to be a recent air of despondency. As though we have lost something.
But we never had the title to begin with, we have never finished in the top 3 while this thing has been titled the Premier League.
This is an absolutely fantastic year, made all the better by the clear and driven set-up now at our club which will see a group of young, talented, driven players under the tutelage of an intelligent and committed coach launching itself into the next season in an even stronger position.
Our start to this season is what has really prevented us winning the title, not the niggles around one or two points at this tail-end.
At the beginning of the season, what were our expectations? Look how far we have come.
At the beginning of next season, what will our expectations be? Will our start not most likely be better? Our players even more in tune with the demands and style of MP? With a slightly stronger squad ready to cope with fixtures and injuries and necessary tactical adjustments?
I can say with real expectation that the future is bright, the future is Lily-white.

With regards to Southampton, I dont it would have mattered whether they had something to play for or not. Their fans will be eager for their team to ruin our party, and the recent history between the clubs means they will be well up for this game regardless.
For me the fact they need to win themselves should mean a really open game which should suit us down to the ground

Spot on.
Crikey, after the 0-0 draw at Everton and the disappointing Transfer Deadline Day, it was looking bleak. EL football looked a dream, never mind CL. And 2nd place? Most of us would have p#ssed ourselves laughing if you had said we had a great chance to finish runners-up for the first time in over 50 years.
Whatever the outcome tonight lets not get too down, Yes, it might have just become the biggest match of the season due to certain players comments, but yesterdays result at St Marys was a big help. Weds night could be too as well. If City fail, then they simply have to beat Arsenal next Sunday or risk finishing outside the Top 4. Personally I think we are 1pt from 3rd, maybe even 1pt and al less than 9 GD swing from 2nd.

Others have said it before, but it bears repeating: the only reason we're a bit down is because we're behind Leicester. A team that we would expect to be ahead of and that we would also expect to have Leicester-type results. The fact that they're not is making this more frustrating, because in our minds, in spite of the great season they're having, they're still fudging Leicester.
If it was City, the Scum, Chelsea, or even Manure, we'd be celebrating 2nd like we had won the title.

What's the big deal here? Some media outlets are delaying programmes or re-scheduling others to cover the possibility of the title being decided today.
So what? That's not bias it is pragmatism.

No, so they can discuss a very important match, you need to remove that chip from your shoulder or people will mistaken you for a whinging Gooner/Chelscm/Scouser

Vicar of Leicester on ITN News just now. They are praying for a Chelsea win tonight. Nice to know this sport of story warrants a place on the national news ahead of other worthier news items

Listen to the 30 second notification clip, they are not delaying it to talk about tonights game, they are delaying it so they can confirm Leicester as title winners.

I don't give a brick about people hating on us, no one gives a brick about Leicester apart from Leicester, but its eating everyone else inside that spurs are better than all the 'big clubs'. You lot should stop moaning and enjoy spurs being better than the teams that count. Next year we need to make sure a brick club like chelsea losing to a nobody team like Leicester doesn't make any difference to us.

And?
The title could be determined tonight. Football Weekly might just want to talk about that straight after the event rather than, you know, waiting a week.

Jimbo said the podcast is being delayed "Because something big is happening in West London, tonight. Something big." There was no mention of Leicester or the title. Like I said you need to get that chip of your shoulder. Personally there is nothing bigger than Spurs thrashing Chelscum this evening with the whole world watching.
And supposing Leicester do win the title tonight it would be dumb for them to have to wait until their Thursday podcast. Besides, if the roles were reversed and media thought we were about to win the title I am pretty sure they were still do the same thing. Dude enough with the whinging

It's the assumption that it WILL happen which annoys me, have the BBC ever said, no news at ten tonight, we have a bigger story tomorrow so we'll see you then
a logical process would be, Monday's show as normal there are still 9 games and an intriguing relegation battle to discuss, and they don't usually care about Monday night games anyway, if, IF, the title is decided tonight then they can have an extra one tomorrow to ruminate on that
they didn't do this last season, the season before that or any other season I can remember when the winners were crowned on a non match day
