    Dude turns 41 this week, and he may be starting in the Champs League next year. Unreal.

    Forgive my ignorance, but if Spurs finish 4th and Chelsea win the CL, do they drop down to Europa League, or can five teams from one country still make it, like when Liverpool went as champs? I think that has been changed, and #4 are still in danger if Chelsea win it, correct?

    Correct, if Spurs finish 4th and Chelsea win the Champions League then Spurs drop to the Europa League.

    Random "USA" chants coming from the crowd (along with what sounded like a screaming orgasm).

    Dembele's had several good shots but none has gone in. Not as lethal as advertised?

    Spurs win 2-0, but Arsenal held on as well. Spurs finish 4th and will have to wait to the Champions League final to determine their European fate next season. Congratulations to Brad.

    Fulham finish in 9th.

    hasn't he scored one goal all year? He is a good player but "lethal"?
