What our opponents' fans are saying about us 17/18

I remember the 1962 game when we beat them 6-2 (Greaves hat-trick). On that day we hit the woodwork six times.

The “spurs are useless against the top 6” line will be used again by sky to heap pressure on us before the game I suspect.

Poch was asked about it in his post match interview and you could see him go FFS this again. And that was after we’d just beaten one of them!

We're useless away against the top 6, that's a fact. What is it, 1 win in the last 15 games or something ridiculous?

We have a serious fear of going to the big clubs and playing our football, and we need to overcome it ASAP. A win against Liverpool or Chelsea would be a nice start.

I agree but it’s how it’s used by the media as a stick to beat us with (quite rightly). It was raised immediately after we beat Man U directly to the manager.

If we beat Liverpool though then hopefully it will be forgotten but I doubt it. There will be something else.

These last 4 pages have been all well and good but out of curiosity I'm wondering what the Mickey Mouse'ers are saying about us & am desperate to pull up someone with shit grammar. Come on people

The away at top 6 thing is massively overstated in my opinion. Those are the 5 hardest games of the season. And games you shouldn't be expected to win, and where draws are good results. That our performance in them isn't that far off the others either yet, no one else gets beaten by that stick.

A player like Greavsie ....

What would he be worth today?

Agreed - and we're talking about 15 points against the other 5 teams away out of a possible 114 over the entire season. Yes they're big games against direct rivals/competitors for position - but league performance is measured over 38 games - not a handful.

Assuming we lost the 5 away games, that also gives 3 points to each of our rivals which is an issue. 6 point games and all that.

My favourite were the tackles that went in from 27 seconds

If you scroll down that twitter feed theres a video of Jan throttling Sanchez when the ref isnt looking.

I love our new toughness

Again, context. 6 pointers only really hurt us if our rival teams finish ahead of us, for the last two seasons we've finished ahead of the majority of our rivals for example. What matters when it's all said and done is total number of points you have.
