December in all English divisions has always been a stage in the domestic campaigns, where fans and pundits alike take time to assess precisely where teams are in the footballing food chain and who might have the advantage. Also, much like horse racing, the rather rough and tumble nature of the crammed and frankly unforgiving nature of the routinely packed future list tends to weed out the men from the boys.
With the Festive period upon us, many of us see our thoughts turn to gifting, and one standout option has to be a PayPal voucher code, which gives our nearest and dearest complete freedom to treat themselves to what they see as their ideal gift. I certainly know that I wish this had existed when I was a kid!
Tottenham Hotspur are currently in strong contention, sitting third in the table with 17 points from 9 games (5 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses; +10 goal difference). They’re just 5 points behind leaders Arsenal, with the season still in its early stages—only about 25% complete.
Bookmakers and data models give Spurs long-shot odds. Current title odds sit around +5000 to +6600 (implying just a 1-2% chance), behind Arsenal (+200 to +350), Manchester City (+350), Liverpool (+400), and even Chelsea (+800).
Opta’s supercomputer simulation pegs their probability at only 1.34%, citing defensive vulnerabilities (conceding in 6 of 9 games) and a tough run-in against the Big Six. Historically, Spurs haven’t won the league since 1961, and they’ve finished outside the top four in recent years despite talent.
In summary, Spurs can win if everything goes perfectly, with star performances, minimal injuries, and rivals dropping points; however, it’s a massive uphill battle. Expect them to push for Champions League spots; they’re 5/1 favourites for top four rather than the trophy. So the odds are once again pointing at another Daniel Levy-shaped season.
This isn’t a cheap shot. It’s the legacy of a man who never did enough for the team.
Post-Levy, Tottenham is restructuring aggressively: Johan Lange and Fabio Paratici now co-lead recruitment as sporting directors, with new specialist roles in scouting and analytics. Thomas Frank (ex-Brentford) took over as head coach, and the club eyes opportunistic signings like Randal Kolo Muani’s loan. Valued at £3.5 billion+, ENIC insists it’s not for sale but hints at cash injections for ambition. Early signs under Frank show promise, just one Premier League loss so far in 2025-26, though podcasts and fan discourse buzz with cautious optimism about breaking the “Levy cycle.”
For Tottenham, it’s all about the proof being in the pudding, which may sound harsh, but goodness me, fans have had enough talk!
