    What Ange has done in his first season - it’s certianly impressive. Forget the PL position and the points - they play good football.

    But Spurs has had a relatively easy schedule so far, and robbed Liverpool thanks to the refs, and drew against us thanks to Jorginho’s brain fart and Rice going down. Also helps playing one game a week.

    Let’s see how they do in the next 6 games.

    Give credit to Ange for improving the team drastically in a short period - but this PL title challenger narrative is just stupid. Horrible take from Wenger.

      I want to agree, but I find it hard to do so without feeling slightly hypocritical. We were in the exact same situation last year & we all knew we were 1-2 injuries away from things going downhill, but I still felt that we were title challengers from quite early on.

      Obviously I’m a bit wiser now & know not to consider ANYONE in a title race unless they’re within 5 pts of 1st @ gameweek 30. I do genuinely think atleast 3 of the current top 4 will be there at that point though…

      If they don’t get key injuries they’re going to challenge for CL qual or higher. Reduced load in the schedule is going to be big.
