Happy with that! Spurs have not lost to any of the 'top four' all season, which is pretty impressive really.

Spurs had a lot of good opportunities, especially in the first half and although UTD had a lot of second half possession, they didn't really look like scoring from open play. I said before the game that getting anything out of it would be a result, and I am more than happy with a point. COYS!

I don't think it was handball either, definitely his shoulder. I think Chelsea had a better shout for a pen from the tackle on lampard in the last few mins, he might have gone down pretty easily but there was more intention in the challenge.

I really wish Carlton Cole was a better striker because he could of won the game for us.

That golden chance at the end was really set up to be a dream moment.

Zola's return to the Bridge, and Cole's chance to score the winning goal at the death against the club who trained him as a boy.

He should of buried it, but instead just hit a tame shot at the keeper.

looks like rafa was right that the only way we are going to finish up top is if the other four stumble... thank god they are.

It is a strange league this year. The Premier League is beginning to become more and more unpredicable; teams outside the top four are playing very well this season and obviously the surprise package is Hull.

Liverpool are badly missing Fernando Torres.

yeah they need him badly, but the last game you can't put on his absence. Carragher didn't help, and the first half play was awful. Thank god the hero known as gerrard stepped up and showed why once again he is the skipper.

I honestly think that if we had Fernando against Hull on Sat he would have bagged a few goals. We are missing his clinical finishing and his style of play suits us down to the ground. He plays off the shoulder of the last defender, and his pace, strength and general awesomeness makes him such a danger when you have Gerrard and Alonso pinging balls through to you.

And the league's all the more better for it. Reminds me of La Liga during Capello's Real tenure. The league's (outside the top 4) become more fun. :D

Honestly, I think if Liverpool can keep at the top of the table, they'll probably win the league(unfortunately). Looks like Rafa's finally ditched his rotation policy. Twice now, they've slipped up and the rest of the big 4 kindly obliged them by dropping points themselves.

Chelsea are horrible at home, United can't put the ball in the back of the net, and Arsenal, well it's the same old story with them...

Looking forward to seeing how far Villa progress this season.

Horrible at home? We had a 4 year win streak up until this season... Correct me if I am wrong :p

Well Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith has stepped down from the board.

Which means if she sells her shares, Alisher Usmanov will I have no doubt buy them and you will see the return hopefully

of David Dein.

However I don't want to go down the same roads as Man City, Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea.

We work hard to balance the books and then having players demanding huge wages could cause a lot of problems.

      Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
