It's simple.
Must win tomorrow evening for a multitude of reasons.
Let's make Leicester earn it.
Let's make sure we don't give Arsenal a sniff.
Let's earn our CL qualification.
Let's ram Hazards words down his throat.

What did Hazard say?

4-2 to Southampton. This result is amazing. We're one point off guaranteed cl now.

I'm pretty sure we are already guaranteed it now.

I am sick of hearing the word "Bitter" being thrown around towards our fans just because we aren't sucking the tit of the media agenda.

We have plenty of good reasons to complain, the fixture scheduling and how we have been playing catch up for the last month, teams rolling over for Leicester, the way the media have been banging on about them and like that article above, them avoiding any form of criticism for their thuggish behaviour and numerous other issues being swept under the rug to fit the narrative.

That's not bringing into account the outright lies the media are saying about them to make them seem like some sort of fairytale (financially doped club by unknown investor under investigation for FFP breaches, yup, "fairytale")

I know we only have ourselves to blame for dropping points and many people complaining know that as well so you can throw the bitter argument out, if we would have done our job none of this would be happening as we would be top but irrespective of that, it is still happening and it's unprofessional from everyone involved.

Why is it embarrassing to question the integrity of this league? Not all of us are just mindless sheep that believe everything sky pundits and the general media say.

What's embarrassing is our own fans having a pop at our own for having opinions on these issues and seemingly taking Leicester on as their second team because that's the only explanation for ignoring the shit that is happening around them.

It sounds better. I think Leicester have had a hell of a lot referee bias shown towards them, I think scheduling was bias against us and I think the fairytale is much hollower than reported... but complaining about MOTD being televised is small time.

Great post.

I am sure many will think otherwise but thank you I appreciate that.

Not beating WBA really was a kick in the teeth.

I maintain had we played that game before Leicester played we'd of won it. Then we would have been 2 points behind before they played. That's big pressure.

Not yet.
If we lose our last 3 games 4.0, 4.0 and 4.0 and Manure win 5.0, 5.0 and 5.0 we finish 5th on gd.
I think we'll be ok lol.

We only have to win 1 game of our last 3 to guarantee a top 3 finish and avoid 4th (play off round)...brilliant season but let's beat those chav ****s tomorrow. I don't want them boasting saying how they ended tottenham's title hopes the pricks

Yeah, well they'll be boasting without any European football. :whistle:

I maintain that with our group of players we should have beaten WBA regardless of how well they played and whether or not we played before or after Leicester

We most likely only need a point with our gd

I get the frustration, I really do. But there is a line where the complaining goes too far. The media bias (doesn't have a tangible effect on the pitch mind you) is completely understandable if you take your Spurs glasses off - Leicester were 5000-1. That is insane. Completely insane. If you weren't Spurs - which the majority of football fans aren't, you're rooting for them. So lets remember that the "media" want to sell papers, want to have veiwing figures - they want people interested and it sucks that we've to be the team to be the bridesmaids to all of it - but it makes SENSE!

The refereeing decisions I have a major problem with, the scheduling too and the "chat" out of Chelsea players mouths stinks - I think Leicester have had a buy ball on decisions from Christmas right through up and to including the penalty today. They should have dropped points to both West Ham and Man Utd and that's where Im fucked off. But the media bais, completely, is bollocks. And when fans moan about that it sounds ridiculous.

I'd hate to finish below Arsenal. We don't deserve that irrelevant how the season ends.

It's not complaining; it's scrutiny. Completely justifiable scrutiny at that.

It would be fun if it went to the last day of the season. I could see Everton getting a draw, I think there would actually be some pressure on the Chavs to turn up and put in a performance. With the added pressure of possibly losing a eight point lead and the title on the last day any thing could happen. Beat the Chavs tomorrow and we still have a glimmer of hope

You can see Everton getting a draw? Really?
Not a betting man then lol.
Everton are imo, and I dont think Im being overly unkind here, fkin shit.
If Leicester dont win Id be amazed.

City will put out their strongest out against them at home and hopefully that will be enough to put that to bed with us getting at least a point from our remaining.

We do if we finish below them. There can be no doubt wherever you finish after 38 games, you deserve to be there

Like I said my man, I think we should scrutinise the refs, the league, the bodies that have an affect on the games - I think that is entirely justifiable and I'd stand with people on that - but I was originally calling out the cries of media bais. Which to me, seem, like I said, small-time, somewhat upsurd, shortsighted to the bigger picture and narrative of the league, and yes, they sould nothing short of bitter.

My point is, I think it's ridiculous how badly the media are fawning over them and shows how unprofessional the football media is in the country and it should be questioned.

People are confusing indignance with bitterness imo. Anyway, bored of this. There are obviously two camps and that shall remain.

Worst part about that is Chelsea will have a clean run at the league next year with nothing else to worry about.
