It's going to be tight at the top this season

HELLO my good football people, trust all is well! The Premier League is doing well and is already shaping up to be a massive, memorable season!

- 

There have been a number of “statement” performances and one thing is for sure, no one is going to win the league title with ease this time around.

Last season was definitely a once-off and despite Liverpool “we aren’t a money club” FC spending like deranged oligarchs, they aren’t guaranteed s**t, and I reckon it’s going to be a whole lot tighter than the last few seasons.

What makes me say that? Well, just looking at the traditional “big clubs” it just feels like some real positive forward movement has been made since last season.

Starting with Spurs. Could you believe it? Okay, Manchester City had a few chances, but I’d say on the balance of it, Tottenham were the better team.

They were hungrier, quicker on and off the ball, more committed and most noticeably, better drilled... they had a better shape about them and looked like a proper outfit.

It’s incredible the change that has been made in such a short space of time. I guess what Ange Postecoglou brought was so extraordinary that anything mildly “normal’ would look vastly different. But yeah, hats off to Thomas Frank. Suddenly, you have to put Spurs back in the title mix.
