GWT: EPL - Matchweek 37 (Ft. MW 34)

[bluesfan94]

Vicario has made two excellent saves earlier in the game to keep Spurs in it. Spurs had a couple really good chances in the second half and Ortega ended up making two big saves (one feels like it's more on Son for not being able to beat a keeper 1 on 1) to keep City in front.

Son didn't want Spurs fans to hate him.

Soft.

Spurs bring on a kid who looks like he's 12.

Well he is about 12.

On balance they're still probably a bit better than was expected this year although the way they've arrived at that (way above expectation for the first half, pretty mediocre for the second half) makes it feel a lot worse.

Hey that's the MW8 league champs you're talking about

I always knew that David Moyes was a top 6 killer lol.

Trying to deny their neighbours?

Their loss on CL football.

Not even a bad game. They've looked like the better team for significant chunks of the game. But the margin of error is slim when you play City.

 

[Power Man]

Doku has been good today

They've lost 40 straight games to finish the season besides that Burley game. They're trash which should have finished 11th based on my predictions if all the other teams did not lose so much talent. They got by with a new manager boost for the first 3-4 months of the season as well. Teams will adjust and expose their high line next season even more.

no one outside of scarecrow builders thought that spurs were a title contender when they were still top in mid-october

every spurs fan here was just hoping for top 4

Top 6. Top 4 was never realistic.

Yeah if I can turn off the jokes for a moment. Even the idea they would finish top four was plainly delusional, and they lasted this long despite that. They didn't replace their best player until January and I don't really rate Werner as a Kane replacement so you could say that they never did. He did a good job.

To be fair, there were a lot of articles written about that back in October. To wit: Could Spurs outdo the Invincibles?! Premier League leaders Tottenham on pace to better Arsenal's greatest-ever team after Crystal Palace win | Goal.com US

Careful. If you say mate too much you are going to get accused of having a bad home life

They were peacocking around like title contenders at the time. Even if there were some sensible one's here.

 

[hatterson]

Top 6. Top 4 was never realistic.

Pure copium.

With 7 games left in the season they were level with Villa on points and had an extra game to play.

Since then they've lost 5 of 6 games.

Never forget how they celebrated after they beat nine man LFC

Yeah that's just cope.

Some Liverpool fans were posting cope weeks ago too. I don't really care for it. We should have won the title end of.

Holy moly. Sheffield step aside. That’s historic stuff

Spurs "bottled" top 4 in the same way Arsenal "bottled" the league last year. Likely exceeded expectations because of a hot start but didn't have the depth/experience/whatever to maintain the challenge down the stretch.

At the same time, to pretend like no one was talking about Spurs as title contenders in October is inaccurate.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Sunday really does feel like a formality. That makes it what, 6 out of 7 PL for City? 5 out of 6?

 

[hatterson]

They started the season with 8 wins and 2 draws in 10 games for a 98.8 point 38 game pace.

In the 27 games since then they're 11 wins, 4 draws, and 12 losses for a 52 point 38 game pace which would put them in between Brighton and West Ham.
