And Spurs go marching on. I’m not gloating. Not smug. Not yet anyway. Another few wins and that will start in earnest. But a win at Burnley. And an ugly win at that.

We must firstly thank our manager who now has a won 10 lost 0 record against the lowly Lancastrian side for all 17 Premiership teams he’s managed. And although this is still very early days for any predictions, I’m going to anyway. In this, the most unpredictable season of them all. Where the only real consistency has been in the astounding results.

This weekend Arsenal lost at home to Leicester who were previously in a bad patch. Chelsea and Man United drew, as did Manchester City with West Ham, the perennial (fucking) drawers. Top team Everton lost but Liverpool managed to win.

So I take the league currently like this. There’s a divide. The top 14 and the bottom 6. Strictly, in terms of points and gaps it should be 15 and 5 but as the 15th team is Manchester United I’d rather include them with Fulham and Sheffield United at the bottom, just for purposes of upset, annoyance and sniggering. Or, ‘statistical significance’ as we should call it.

And its a fabulous league table, with Aston Villa, Wolves, Crystal Palace and Leeds ahead of Arsenal, Chelsea and the tragically disappointing and disappointed Manchesters. Shame its not a true ‘north-south’ divide, then it could be blamed on Covid, which is fast becoming a ‘northern problem’. But that would be too simplistic and convenient. And the very thought of all those nasal Mancs whingeing about it makes me want to throw my hearing aids under a bus.

Spurs are currently 5th, just 2 points off the top. Possibly those 2 (fucking) points that were (fucking) stolen by (fucking) West Ham last (fucking) Sunday. But I carry no scars. It’s done. Forgotten. Grrrrrr…

And all this with Gareth Bale barely touching a ball in anger. His mere presence on the bench scares teams shitless. He scares me shitless. In case he comes on and isn’t any good. Even though he is a GOD.

Yet talk is now of ‘can Spurs win the league’? ‘Is this our season?’ Because once the dust settles (if it should ever settle this season and part of me hopes it won’t) there’s only Liverpool and Spurs. And Liverpool have lost Van Dijk, their talisman and all round best player. Without Virgil they are NOTHING!! Other than a few brilliant midfielders and the most feared attack in the world. Otherwise NOTHING!!!

Therefore the Premiership is ours. And should that pan out not to be the case then its outright theft and should be punished by law.

Yours impartially
