Pool and Spurs

Suarez at home

Suarez wants to leave Liverpool.  Fact!  No question about it.  Who wouldn't want to?  It seems as though the only people who are surprised by this are the Liverpool fans.  Why?  Because they're stupid?  Possibly.  But, probably, because they have the opinion their team will win the title next season.  Why would Suarez want to leave that?  All sorts of reasons for winning arise:  Stevie G'll win us the league; now Hodgson has gone we'll win the league; now we have dalglish; now we have Downing; now Dalglish has left; now Suarez can shoot straight. Yet, the fact of the matter is, Suarez does not win you a championship; one man does not carry a team to the top of the league.  Fourth place maybe; with luck, third; but never a win.  Suarez knows this; that's why he's talking about leaving.  He's done well at Liverpool; no doubt about that; but if he wants to win, he needs to leave.  Liverpool are not the club they once were; they don't have championship winning players; and they can't afford them.  Until that changes, the fans are going to have to get used to their best players leaving

Aaron Lennons trains with a rock

Talking of fools - Ledley King - Poor old timer has gone and gotten his mind in a twist; thinks Spurs can win the title.  WHAT?  Come on Ledley, Spurs are more of a one man team than Liverpool.  For sure, Bale is one hell of a man but he ain't going to win you a title; especially when you consider the rest of the team.
Who could help?  Aaron Lennon?  Not likely; he's all cubes - boxy head, boxy arms, boxy body; boxy legs - all edges and corners.  Not good when it comes to crossing a ball and, hey, that's what wingers do.  All Lennon does is scamper like he's running on hot coals; scampers to the line and kicks it out of play; ball hits an edge, that's what's going to happen.  Aaron Lennon?  No.
Who else - Jermaine Defoe - too old and too selfish.  He'll never score enough goals.  You can't trust a striker who once went a year (A YEAR!) without scoring.  And he's spurs' only striker; unless you count Adebayor but he's lazier than a teenager on valium.
I'm wasting my time considering this.  Fact is Spurs are not going to challenge for the league and, like Suarez,  Bale is going to want to leave.

No, I think football fans are going to have to face up to the fact that the title resides in Manchester; any hopes it might escape are simply ludicrous.
