Only time I am supporting Spurs!!!

Really good game though.

Got the last 30mins. Excellent finish.

I fancy Spurs for top 4.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Ref giving Spurs additional time over and above 7 mins peeved me off. Thankfully didn't matter.

Cracking game.

Harsh pen on Romero (who was excellent) but them's the rules unfortunately. Class from HurriKane after Storm Eunice!

I thought it was a penalty at the time. Kane's disallowed goal was a bit harsh, but yes he did come from an offside position in the build up. Still, throws the ***le race open again if Liverpool can win their game in hand they go only 3 points behind with Man City still to play at the Ethiad.

The day the Premiership ***le race changed?

Real old school game on at Elland road in soaking conditions. Man U 3-2 up after giving up a 2 goal lead, need to close out or kiss top 4 goodbye.

Good weekend for the top 2-4. Looking like a great end to the season.

Having said that the protocols relating to concussion and not being fit for purpose reared it's ugly head during the Leeds v Man U game:
