The announcement that Mauricio Pochettino has verbally agreed a new five-year contract with Tottenham will add to the belief that there are exciting times ahead at White Hart Lane, writes Adam Bate. Robinson Cano Jersey . Deal agreed Mauricio Pochettino has verbally agreed a new five-year contract Its been quite a ride for Tottenham supporters this season and its been a source of pride too. Pride in the emergence of Dele Alli as the most exciting young player in the Premier League and pride in the thought that striker Harry Kane is one of their own as well.However, theres also a sense that Spurs fans are fully aware of what the recent buzz has been built on. Its a 44-year-old Argentine from the small agricultural town of Murphy who is the law at the Lane. So talk of a new five-year deal for Mauricio Pochettino is huge news. Mauricio Pochettino explains why hes extending his contract at Tottenham Of course, Pochettinos contract already commits him to the club until 2019. But with the man himself having set hares running by mentioning long-term ambitions to return to Paris Saint-Germain, and reports of admirers in Manchester Uniteds boardroom, the fear was there.Such is the nature of success. And is it any wonder he has his supporters? Pochettinos Tottenham are impossible to ignore. Leicester might be the fairy-tale but perhaps Spurs are a weightier tome - the one their rivals will really have to wrestle with over the rest of the decade. Pochettino claims his PSG comments were blown out of proportion They have the best young talent - with an average age of under 25 - and a style of play that excites. While Leicesters success is built on a system that others will not replicate, Tottenhams trick is that others cannot replicate it.Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores described Tottenham as like animals in their tenacity and Stoke manager Mark Hughes said they were quicker to everything on the recent trip to the Britannia Stadium. Its hunger thats not been seen at White Hart Lane in many years. Pochettino has changed Tottenhams style of play The intensity of the training is well documented. Danny Rose has called it an enjoyable kind of suffering but once on the pitch its the opposition in pain. The distance covered stats certainly illustrate the physical effort that goes into their work.No team in the Premier League had made as many sprints this season, while Spurs have also outrun their opponents in 30 of their 35 matches. In total, theyve run more than 163 kilometres further than the opposition. Its useful for any team but when fused with such quality its deadly. Tottenham stats under Pochettino so far this season in the Premier League By most metrics, Tottenham have the best defence in the league having conceded the fewest goals and shots on target. At the other end, theyve created the most chances, had the most shots and are one shy of having scored the most goals. Its a team in harmony.Just four points are required from the final three games for Tottenhams best ever Premier League points tally. The only disappointment is that its unlikely to be enough to deliver the title too. And yet, Leicesters year might yet morph into Tottenhams time. What hes created here is something very special. Everything is there for Tottenham. Jamie Carragher The more I watch them, the more I think this chance might come again, Jamie Carragher told Sky Sports. I was expecting Spurs to go back to being challenging for top four, but I think in terms of years to come, this is going to be a side thats challenging for the title.Such is life as a Spurs supporter that thoughts will inevitably turn to what might derail these hopes. Theres an obvious answer. For while players come and go, creating a culture of success is trickier. We have a winning mentality, said Pochettino recently. It needs to stay. He needs to stay. Sometimes when you pick a man of the match for Spurs, it could be five or six of them because its all about the team, added Carragher. The man who should get most credit is the manager, because what hes created here is something very special. Everything is there for Tottenham.Everything is there and now it seems the thing that matters most is there to stay too. Pochettino and the culture hes brought has made a commitment to the club, lifting spirits after the disappointing draw with West Brom. Today is a good moment to communicate that we have a verbal agreement, he said on Friday. Tottenham have unbelievable potential. Mauricio Pochettino Its for many reasons. Tottenham have unbelievable potential. I think after two years here weve created a great group here. We have young players with the potential to get to the top. The staff and supporters are unbelievable. I think theres massive potential. Why not stay here?Why not, indeed. For Pochettinos decision sends a message. If one of the most highly-rated young managers around believes in this project then theres every reason that his highly rated young players should do too. One title race might look lost but, under Pochettino, Tottenhams race is far from run.

Felix Hernandez Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. http://www.wholesalemarinersjerseys.com/dee-gordon-jersey/ . -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year. All in all, Furniture Row Racing had a solid weekend at Watkins Glen. The team announced a two-year extension for driver Martin Truex Jr. and the addition of a second car in 2017 for Erik Jones.About the only time things didnt go right came on the racetrack. After leading opening practice Friday and posting the second-fastest lap in final practice later that afternoon, Truex appeared to be one of the race favorites.But things started going south in qualifying Saturday. Truexs qualifying lap was messed up when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. accidentally blocked him, and Truex failed to advance to the final round of qualifying. Stenhouse indicated it was an honest mistake -- he thought Truex was on his cool-down lap.All probably would have been forgotten if the last lap of the Cheez-It 355 didnt end up the way it did. Truex was challenging Denny Hamlin for the win when his trophy hopes were abruptly spun out in the final turn by Brad Keselowski.Truex had to settle for a seventh-place finish and a damaged car, a car that even had more damage after he gave Keselowski a few not-so-love taps on the cool-down laps.He said it was his fault, Truex said after a brief conversation with Keselowski. I said I knew that. Its as simple as that.To be honest, Truex doesnt know whether he would have been able to beat Hamlin in a drag race to the finish line. He just wishes he would have had the chance.Brad was making big moves and screwing up about every restart there towards the end, driving over his head trying to make something happen, Truex said. We were kind of a victim of that.Truex knows the only thing he lost was a chance at possibly three bonus points for the first round of the Chase with the win. But a victory also would have capped off the weekend perfectly.After an awful first year at Furniture Row in 2014, Truex has had two incredible seasons driving the No. 78 car. He not only has one win each year and advanced to the championship round in 2015, he has led more laps and miles than any other driver in the series this year.The move to Toyota for 2016 sparked enough support that the team, as long as it could land enough sponsorship, wanted to start a second car. With Bass Pro Shops committed to 16 races for Truex next year and 5-Hour Energy committed to 22 races for Jones, that leaves Furniture Row to fill in the remaining 36-38 events with some of its other sponsors.It also can put Furniture Row or Toyota (a big player in the deal) on the hood for select events, meaning team owner Barney Visser should not be ppouring in as much money as when it was a one-car organization just sponsored by Vissers Furniture Row company. Ken Griffey Jersey. So the future looks bright, and the 2016 Watkins Glen weekend will always be looked at as a potential turning point. Even if looking back on Sunday will be frustrating.It wont matter that Keselowski took the blame.I thought the 78 [of Truex] was going to get in behind and kind of rough up the 11 [of Hamlin], Keselowski said. I wanted to be outside and make a crossover [move] to see if I couldnt get both. At the last minute he came back up and I was already committed.I didnt think hed come back up. You make a commitment before you know exactly whats going to happen. I made a commitment and it just didnt work out. He got the bad end of it.Whats Truexs plan?I dont run over people all the time, Truex said. I dont pull out in front of people in qualifying. Race me like I race you is all that I ask.Xfinity Series: Dont worry, be happyJoey Logano won for the second consecutive year at Watkins Glen in a race pretty much dominated by Sprint Cup drivers.Several series regulars had bad days. But even those who struggled know that with the new elimination Chase system being used in the Xfinity Series, they dont have to wig out over every bad finish.Darrell Wallace Jr. finished 29th but remained ninth in the standings. With a 77-point edge on 13th-place driver Ross Chastain, Roush Fenway Racings Wallace driving his Ford is virtually assured a spot in the 12-driver Xfinity championship when the field is set after six more races.[The goal is] just to get on a consistent roll from here to Homestead, Wallace said prior to the Watkins Glen race. If we start knocking away top-10s and getting into the top five by the time the Chase rolls around [we can contend].A win is at the top of our list, but we definitely have to do some cleaning up -- show up at the track more prepared, more close to where we need to be, and well be OK.Wallace said he can look forward to the postseason -- sort of. While Loganos win was the first for the Ford stable this year, Wallace knows that the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota cars are going to be tough to beat.Theres something to look forward to, Wallace said. At the end of the day, theres really not [in some ways] because when you go to the racetrack now youre fighting for fourth behind the JGR cars.-- John Oreovicz contributed to this story.
