Spurs’ scintillating campaign is showing no sign of slowing down and the North Londoners are seemingly going to stay the distance when it comes to securing a second successive top four finish in the Barclays Premier League.

The club are very much the pride of North London this season and look set to finish above Arsenal for the first time in several years, with Mauricio Pochettino enhancing his own reputation in the process given the work he is doing at White Hart Lane.

The Spurs fans have been giving the Gunners faithful here in the Transfer Tavern plenty of banter with several Arsenal supporting regulars set to lose bets to their mates who are of a Tottenham persuasion.

The title once again looks out of Spurs’ reach for this season but if the club can keep the squad together in the summer there is no reason why they cannot put together a real challenge next season.

Today the in-form side play Bournemouth and three more points would go a long way to ensure that Champions League football is on Spurs’ agenda for the 2-17/18 campaign.

Our landlord looks at two players who must be dropped from today’s starting eleven.

Kieran Trippier

The ex-Burnley man started at the expense of Kyle Walker in the rout over Watford and although he did alright there is a case to suggest that the England international will make a return to the side today.

One Spurs fan is sat reading the paper here in the Tavern and he agrees that Trippier did okay last weekend but also concedes that given his quality Walker is likely to get the nod.

Vincent Janssen

It quite simply hasn’t worked out for the Dutch striker in the Barclays Premier League and with Harry Kane now fit once again, his first-team chances look set to ease off.

One Spurs fan is assisting the landlord with getting the Tavern’s bar ready and he thinks that Janssen will be sold on in the summer, stating that he just hasn’t got the required quality to work in the Premier League.
