Spurs would be comfortably top four if Rodrigo Bentancur hadn’t got injured is a hill upon which we are willing to die.

Are Arsenal bottling it or not? It’s the Big Question in English football. But what even is a Bottle Job? Can it be truly defined? Probably not, but we’ve tried.
Manchester City battered Bayern Munich in the first leg and the bookies now think they will win it for the first time. But there’s always Real Madrid…
Harry Kane beat Jimmy Greaves’ record and now Mo Salah has powered past Robbie Fowler as the Reds’ record PL goalscorer.
That was a simply wonderful game of football. But apparently 16 Conclusions needs more than that. So here’s more than that.
Leeds were 1-0 up against Palace, in total control, and on their way to 12th in the table. Then they lost 5-1. It’s going to leave some nasty scars.
Newcastle are good and don’t really need a lot of help to beat West Ham, but West Ham generously gave it to them anyway.
Been lots of managerial changes in the Premier League this year, haven’t there? Some have been good and some have not, so we’re ranked them obviously.
Steve Cooper has never lost the fans and Nottingham Forest’s season is one that needs less flux and disruption, not more. For once, common sense prevails.
Spurs fans appear vehemently opposed to the idea of Brendan Rodgers as their manager, and we’re not entirely sure why.
Arsenal and City rumble on at the top, Newcastle take control of the CL chase while further down the league it was Sacking Sunday…
Newcastle picked a fine day to produce their best performance of the season, but Manchester United were absolutely rotten at St James’ Park.
West Ham had to beat Southampton and did, but with a performance so bereft of quality and life you somehow ended it feeling even worse about them.
We had feared the good old one-club man was a dying breed in your modern loyalty-free football. But there’s a handful of belting current contenders.
Why are Spurs continuing to support Fabio Paratici? It’s baffling on football grounds and indefensible on ethical ones. They are so silly.
This feels like a very obvious point to make but… surely Julian Nagelsmann isn’t actually going to be Tottenham manager, is he?
Tricky to whittle this down to five but we’ve tried to come up with the Spurs players who have most to gain from Antonio Conte’s grumpy departure.
Tricky to stretch this out to five – tricky to stretch it past two, frankly – but here are five Spurs players who might possibly miss the Antonio Conte era.
Harry Kane having 55 England goals would indicate that he’s good. That won’t do, so here’s how none of those goals actually count.
We moved Harry Kane off the England ladder top spot. Again. We’ve put him back in top spot. Again. We simply refuse to learn.
There are nine simply terrible teams in the Premier League relegation scrap, but we’ve charitably found a reason we want each of them to stay up.
Harry Kane’s 54th England goal was the centrepiece of a fine win for the Three Lions. Harry Maguire is fortunate all the attention is on the other Harry.
Not many 31-year-old managers have precise previous experience of lifting a talented but brow-beaten squad after a serial winner’s constant negging.
A daft result and Antonio Conte’s calm and thoughtful response to said daftness make Spurs huge fallers in our latest Premier League Mood Rankings…
Antonio Conte is now almost begging Daniel Levy to sack him and a press conference infinitely more entertaining than his football will surely do the job.
Spurs threw away a 3-1 lead with 15 minutes to go against Southampton because of course they did. There is no point Antonio Conte seeing out this season.
A distinctly Nayim-esque goal and penalty heartbreak means Arsenal’s wait for European silverware goes on, but it surely helps their domestic chances…
Job done for Man Utd against Real Betis, with Erik Ten Hag’s side reaping the benefits of taking care of business in European first legs.
You don’t need a supercomputer to predict results when you’ve already decided the outcome you want. You just need a weirdo with too much time on his hands.
There are a lot more reasons why Arsenal could, but we’ve managed to scrape together five reasons why the five-point leaders won’t win the league…
