And growing.
I feel theyll need to bring in some talent though. Or buy cheap yet smart.

From a Spurs blog:
This season we have 74 points and a GD of +47 from 33 games
From the same fixtures last year, we took 62 points and had a GD of +29.
After 33 matches last year we had 65 points and a GD of +35.
Our current points and GD total inserted into the table at this time last year would see us first by 2 points.
As has been stated elsewhere, the magic number to finish ahead of Arsenal is now 5. A win on Sunday confirms it, but a draw isn’t enough
Magic number to finish ahead of Liverpool is also 5 (though same as Arsenal realistically it just needs to be 4 because of GD)
Magic number to finish ahead of City is 9 (same caveat for GD though)
Magic number to finish ahead of Utd is 8 – this is also probably the ‘Top 4’ magic number (again not counting the GD scenario)
Magic number for Chelsea to finish ahead of us is 12 (and it has to be 12 as we have superior GD)
Lloris is now ahead of Courtois for most clean sheets kept, with 14

I know that Spurs won't pay the wages that they want. That's no secret, so I would kiss goodbye to them.

Good luck keeping a squad together on these wages in 2017. Honestly NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN : http://www.dailystar.co.uk/pics/spo...m-aces-s-weekly-wages-revealed-sportgalleries

It's a matter of time. I said last season that it might take another year. Ali and Kane can easily command 250k a week. You can't keep them at a club that won't spend that. Consider me amazed if they stay.

As I said, give it time. Spurs are at the peak (new stadiums are no fun) and let's be honest, still won't win anything. Not that I have any hope for Arsenal, but Spurs will not sustain this next year. They staved it off by promising better wages and not delivering enough in December. Levy is a cunning stunt. He promised a rise for Kane to make him stay and gave a modest one at a time when he knew he couldn't say no. Kane and Ali will leave.

There's a person being quite serious in this thread, but I'm not sure it's the gentleman from Florida.

Or you could look at real data and realize that every position in the top 6 is going to finish with at least 10 more points than the top 6 did last year. Besides Arsenal and Leicester, every one of the big teams will have improved on their points from last year.

I'm so confused that our British contingent seems to struggle with analyzing the PL.

Middlesbrough has been relegated to the Championship after one year in the Premier League.

The quality of the whole league is worse then.
How would you explain the disappointing showing in the Champions League.

Because Stats only ever tell half the story.
Statistically Pogba has been one of the best players in the league...but he has still been a huge dud

Don't know about data and performance but tactics are making the Premier League more and more boring. If you go back to the 90s and early 00s, teams were using 4-4-2 attacking formations and going hell for leather which is where the League gained it's reputation as exciting. It then moved slightly more defensive, when a lot of teams were using 4-2-3-1, and now it's gone to 3 centre backs which is basically 5 at the back a lot of the time.
I think the only thing that saves the league is that all the others have also become less exciting. I speak about this from no point of bias, as I think it's nothing to do with any individual club. I would love just to see some aggressive attacking tactics make a breakthrough, because it always seems to be the slightly more defensive styles that make the cut at the moment.
It might be time for another rule change. Taking away the back pass gave lead to the game completely changing from the shit of the 80s to the glory of the 90s.

Prove that the quality of the whole league is worse. The teams getting relegated definitely got worse, but the rest of the league is static I think. But, seriously, just looking at the top 6 place by place:
Chelsea > Leicester
Tottenham > Arsenal
Liverpool is probably equal to Tottenham, maybe slightly behind. Maybe.
Man City is probably the same as last year.
ManU >ManU
Arsenal > Southampton
So yeah, I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Also, the showing in the Champions League? The only difference is that England didn't have a team in the semi finals this year but did last year. Are you trying to troll?
I guess if Man United and Arsenal aren't great, it must mean that the league overall is worse. It's the only explanation I can come up with.

City, Liverpool also not great.
Only team playing really well is Spurs. Chelsea are doing as you'd expect them to do.
The rest of the Out-lying teams: Everton, West Ham, Stoke etc turrible
