I'm not going to debate the whole Liverpool debacle of this season - we've played terrible, and there really isn't any defence for it. However, my point about Spurs still stands. They don't have the players with experience of fighting for title or a top-four place. They'll get tired, make mistakes and drop points. They've had an incredible start, but so did Hull last season, and look where they are now...

i TOTALLY agree, im a Pool fan and we are awful this year, we keep going like this and we will be lucky to finish in a Europa League place
as for Spurs, like Villa last season and Everton before that, teams having good "first" top-4 style seasons, always fade after February/March......i think Man City or Spurs might get 4th due to Liverpools fall from grace, but i dont see 4th being close to the top 3 of Chelsea, Arsenal and United
im not going to say its EASY to be top 6 until November, but in the past few years Ipswich, Reading and Hull have all been there, yet are now either Relegated or about to be. Im not saying this will happen to spurs, but now is the time when your squad strangth shows and is traditionally when the weaker teams drop off the pace
