Hey Wedgie, I was genuinely surprised at the average Spurs attendance this year considering they are at Wembley
United top the league ( the only league they are likely to top for the foreseeable future :lol: ) with 75,000. Spurs are 2nd with 68,300. I thought it would be higher than that. Arsenal come in 3rd on 59,200 which I guess ain’t bad considering their season ended months back.
Then comes WHU, Man City, Liverpool and Newcastle in that order all in their 50’s
Clarets come in 4th from bottom with 20.3k which is our sellout every week

I haven't studied it but I did read somewhere that police restrictions on number of ticket sales have had a big influence and is the reason we got more to the Everton game than the Chelsea game for example.
Still some big games to come at our home ground such as the FA Cup semi final and final. ;)

Clarets close the gap on Arsenal to 2 points and showing why they are the best team outside the ‘big’ six.
LIVERPOOL got lucky with Sane very lucky to be on the pitch after getting booked for diving but not for deliberate handball
West Ham fans happy this week. Amazing what 3 points can do. All those added Security costs wasted after all
City destroy Everton but boy were the Toffees shite.
Huddersfield might get away with it this year, despite being on a downward roll. Lucky Soton, Stoke and WBA aes all basket cases.
Foxes keep the pressure on the Clarets, winning at toothless Brighton

Come on Stoke, prove me wrong tomorrow

Just watched them Spargo. Sad to say but totally hopeless. Not a single shot and this was Hughes first real game in charge, you’d think the players would want to at least impress with some effort

They looked doomed

Watched Arsenal v Stoke up to less than 20 mins to go and it was nil all. Turned back on near the end and it was 3-0 Arsenal's way!
Big game at Stamford Bridge next with all the top sides winning so far.

Cracking game at the Bridge. 1 all at half time.
As per usual Spurs with most of the possession but Chelsea looking much more dangerous when they do have it.
Eriksen's goal near half time to tie it up was from a long way out, had an amazing dip on it, I almost sent my tablet through the ceiling.

3-1 win to Spurs for our first win at the Bridge since 1990. Harry Kane only came off the bench when we were 3-1 up too!
Cant see me sleeping tonight! :D

After realising that I'm staying up or waking up for most Spurs games (and watching on my tablet) I invested in Fetch TV today for $5pm. Every EPL game and World Cup game on my 60 inch plasma. Has anyone else had experience with this? (Still waiting for it to be activated)
Or would I be better off going with something like Chromecast.

Well that was a turn up for the book.
City were destroying United in the 1st half and could easily have been 4 or 5 up at half time. Next time we look, United have win 3-2, what’s that all about.
The Clarets continue to impress and push Arsenal for 6th spot after picking up another 3 points away from home.
Apart from Spurs beating a championship destined Stoke, the rest was a much of a muchness.
There were draws for Brighton and Huddersfield, Bournemouth and Palace, WBA and Swansea and a bore draw in th Scouse derby.

As long as Dyche does t win the cursed manager of the month, we could push Arsenal all the way. As it stands, I’f Soton doesn’t lift the FA Cup, then Europe is calling. I can’t wait for that trip to Azerbaijan :lol:

City self destructed after Sterling missed a sitter to go 3 up. Their defending is very average at times
