Spurs…
Again, a laughing stock. Interestingly…

Also, brilliantly, Spurs are now two points adrift at the bottom of the table. In [...]
Stoke and Hull continued to prove that the newly promoted sides are no pushovers – in the process raising concerns for Liverpool and Everton, who only took a point each. They play each other next weekend. Man Utd and Chelsea dominated a half each and a draw was a fair result. Stuart Downing missed a [...]
