OPINION
For a player nicknamed Mr.West Ham, Noble has been rather fair and unbiased about Tottenham’s chances when it comes to the Premier League title race. The veteran midfielder playing a starring role in the Hammers’ 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Monday and helped make the Premier League title race look even more intense than before. While Spurs fans won’t be the biggest Noble fans given that he plays for one of their club’s fierce London rivals, they’ll no doubt appreciate his remarks about the title race. Pochettino’s side have defied the odds to still be in the run-in for the title at this stage of the season after opting to not utilise the last two transfer windows, and deserve lot of praise whether they end up lifting the championship or not. People will continue to write Spurs’ title chances off until their mathematically out of the race, but Pochettino will no doubt keep his side pushing to the very end at the least.
