They accomplished this by rattling off an absurd 33 games unbeaten in all competitions making it 6 titles in 7 years for the Citizens.

Season Preview:
Man City and Arsenal have distanced themselves as the clear favorites for the title. With Arsenal closing the gap and beating Man City on xG could this be the year that they get over the line? There are some large error bars on Liverpool with klopp retiring and Salah getting older, will they be able to insert themselves in the title race again like they did last year?
For top 4/5 can Aston Villa repeat last years feat thanks to the normal culprits being completely incompetent or will one of Chelsea/United get their **** together finally (hopefully not)? Spurs went full Spurs throwing the match vs City to stop arsenal from winning the title while costing themselves top 4 in the process, will they be in the race again despite doing no business at all in the summer to address squad needs?
The relegation fight as usual has the 3 promoted teams as favorites to go back down, but with PSR looming in the background could we see a surprise team relegated?
could not have been more wrong about Tielemans. Looked a complete dud when first signed. Everyone saying couldnt play in mid 2 and his legs are gone. but hes some player and been a big upgrade on luiz so far. Nailed on player of the season already and its only 5 games in 😃
just got to witness villa win in champs league. 5 years ago or whatever was about a week until villa was going into administration and never seen again. incredible
Anyone watching the spuds game what's happening only 2 shots after 60mins
Losing to Coventry is bleak. We are garbage today.
At this rate Ange is getting sacked before EtH.
Nobody talks about the breathtaking comeback that we have witnessed against Coventry.
Anyways Odegaard is out for months. Nø buenø
Hopefully he will find a razor during his downtime and shave off that ridiculous goatee.
I reckon Ange is done by February.
What has happened to Maddison? Surely he has recovered after being left out by Southgate and then trolled by Maupay on Twitter?
It's a pretty good question. Spurs fans - if you end up finishing in that 5-7th mix again without any realistic CL push, do you want him to have another season?
A friend of mine (who is a season ticket holder) was (in my opinion, understandably) unhappy with his stuff about how they don't need to work on defending set pieces (when it is an area where they have looked shaky) and some other stuff regarding how they don't need to change their style of play according to opponents (disclaimer: I've no idea what he actually said here). It's fine running the bottom half sides over with flowing football, but pretty much everyone has to make changes against sides that are better than them (Arteta did it this weekend in response to his injuries).

Yeah - because not all of us are results orientated in our thinking, can see the slow progress, and know that it's a longer term project.

He is a bit Peter Bosz "Plan B is to do Plan A better" at times but he actually *does* change the shape and people do tend to just ignore that because it doesn't fit their narrative of him never changing things.
The set piece thing is annoying.
What I don't know is who is running the recruitment. Since Paratici got banned (****ing LOL) we are a little all over the place.
Quite funny Spurs fans are already writing off Solanke. Might be a *bit* early for that mates.

I'm not trying to be a troll here - the football is definitely more fun, but I'm not sure I buy there's much progress going on. You're still in that 4th-8th bracket of teams and I can't see much chance, aside from binking with transfer luck that the project will progress much beyond that.
To quote a great line from the early Lego Pep days:
I hope the process knows we trust it
Nearly all the sucess of the Poche era was down to blinking with transfer luck - Eriksen, Dembele, Toby, Dele, Son, Wanyama all came at a similar time that Walker, Rose and Kane came through what was effectively the youth system and Lloris and Vertonghen were in situ.
And so it is with every other club - Unless you are a state-backed enterprise, that's really all you have.

That was my point really. I won't say all clubs have equal access to transfer luck - Spurs obviously have more bites of the cherry than Southampton - but it's basically always something that could propel a club forward a step.
If that's the only thing that leads to the next step up, why not just stick with Ryan Mason?
It isn't only luck, of course. You can mitigate some of the risk by buying players from the PL if you can afford them, though Maddison might be an exception (too soon to tell).
can't tell what's wilder - fact you'd put beans on baked potatoes at all or that it'd be so weird to put beans on first then cheese
i think i'm getting trolled but you guys have some weird culinary habits so could be legit
Baked beans and cheese on a baked potato is elite. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out.
The cheese should go on before the beans so it melts. Putting it on last means you're just eating grated cheese to start with.
Important to note that we only top a baked potato if the potato is the main part of the meal, i.e not a side for something like a steak.

CHE smacking WHU upside their noggin
Spurs look good here. Only a question of time to concede another
Also ESR on fire
