A Season's End
What are some of the things that can go wrong in a football match? Well, why don't we just consult the encyclopedia we were able to build from those 96 minutes? Poor standard of football - check. Slow, ineffective tactics - check. No goals - check. Red card - check. Elimination - check. Outraged fans - check. It had everything apart from an injury, but lets wait to see if Romero's foolish assault got him a two-for-one? It was one of those games. The kind where I'm wondering what I show up for, wondering why the sport looks and feels so bad and then I realise its because I've been demoralised to the extent that I now only tune in to watch the Tottenham echo-chamber out of loyalty.

Mission: Improbable
Play it at Wembley. Play it at the old White Hart Lane. Play it at Stamford Bridge. On a normal day, the venue doesn't matter. Tottenham don't beat Chelsea. Put aside the context that we are two awkward teams (one with a little more luck than the other) wrestling with our imperfections. The context never seems to matter. Form goes out the window in a derby game some try to tell me. Maybe for some. But for Spurs, our best teams, our worst teams, our new ones and our old ones all lose to the Blues. It was a Chelsea team on its knees that ended our title hopes in 2016.

Will Phil Parkinson Return To The Racecourse If The Fairytale Ends?
For Wrexham AFC fans, promotion has been at the forefront of everybody’s mind since they were relegated to The National League back in 2008. Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds takeover of the club in 2020 has elevated Wrexham’s promotion dreams into what is now being called “The Fairytale”. In 2021 Phil Parkinson was appointed manager of Wrexham which was seen as many as an unbelievable feat in itself. What followed was the signing of “Super” Paul Mullen and later Ollie Palmer in two major key acquisitions for the club. This bolstered roster was enough to put Wrexham in proper promotion talks only to fall short to Sutton United and then be eliminated in the semi-finals by Grimsby Town with a 5-4 final.

Outfoxed
Leicester - Tottenham is a special fixture. There is some form of a rivalry there. One that started in 2016, with Tottenham's ill-fated title chase and Leicester's infamous title win. Since then, the fixture has produced an inordinate number of goals (62). No doubt you'll remember Kane's haul in the 6-1, Son's cameo in the 6-2, the 5-4 at Wembley, Bale's 4-2 and Bergwijn's miracle last year. Its a match of goals, drama, error and entertainment. 25 minutes into this one and it was clear today would be no different.
