Simplez, would you take it?

For me personally getting CL would have been the priority of the season and finishing 3rd would be a massive achievement. I still don;t think we;re nailed on for 3rd as we still have to play the goons, chelski and utd, there is 9 points we could quite easily lose right there to our rivals.....

still though if offered, i am a bit of a gambler so i would say NO! :)

i am surprised... although how last season ended i can understand why you are all saying yes.
think of it this way though, if we beat utd @ home (which i believe is a possibilty) this opens the title right up.
plus city have the abilty to crumble! i can feel it!

Absolutely 100% not.
No way.
It is highly improbable that we won't finish at leat 4th (pretty unlikely we won't finish 3rd).
On the other hand, we could win the title.

I absolutely cannot believe that, in this position, at this stage of the season, anyone would just accept 3rd now, rather than let it play out and maybe win the title.

The game is about GLORY!

I would go so far as saying that anyone who answers this in the affirmative, even if just in their own heads, should literally ban themselves from celebrating if we win the league :whistle:

After the court case and Saturday no, I say let's go for it.

Before I would have.

FA cup and 3rd now, I'd probably take though!

I still think there's a chance of the title, so although I'm not a gambler I wouldnt take it. We have a relatively easy last few games and I just can't see this Spurs team dropping 10 more points than anyone below us.

At the beginning of the season - offered 3rd and would have been quite happy that it would be a good, progressive season league wise.
At this point we have 3 tough, tough games, 2 of them away. get those out of the equation we have very little to fear. the 3 'big' games (no easy wins in the premier league- cliche n all that) there is no reason why we cant beat utd at home - they will play to win so will enable us to play, chelsea are hot and cold, we could break Bridge who do and we won at the Emirates last year so why not again this year...

Any thing is possible and if we finish 3rd having given it a bloody good go then we cn still smile and look forward to CL back at the lane.

FA cup is there to be won too - why not eh?

I would, and yet I don't doubt that is where we will finish. Unless someone goes on a run of championship form (and they haven't all season) we will finish ten points above 4th place. At the same time, I don't see the top 2 falling apart.

We will finish third.

Nup, I want 2nd at least. Beat Yanited at home and that's more than doable. 10 pts clear of 4th. This is a new Spurs. The team and club are not saddled with past failures or utterly shite players.

I'm backing them. If we can go on a run over these next few games as we did at the back end of 09/10 then we could actually find ourselves within a pt or two of 1st place with half a dozen games to go.

There, I have corrected it for you! Before the start of the season yes, but now I will take my chance and say no.

No way, i honestly believe we can still win the league, if we are within 4 points by the end of March we are right in the mixer !!! Imagine having to beat bug Martin Jol's Fulham to lift the trophy, big Martin would roll over for us !!!

No, i'm confident we'll finish top 3.

This week is an important week for us because European football returns. I really think this can benefit us with both Manchester clubs in Europa, and both Chelsea and Arsenal in CL.

Man City will be best equiped to use their squad I think, but Utd with their injuries will prbably have to play some first teamers. I'm not sure how serious those 2 will take the Europa, but it still has to be a distraction of sorts.

Chelsea and Arsenal on the other hand will certainly be playing their strongest teams in the CL. Those extra games have to take their toll along with the extra travelling. There's no reason we shouldn't get at least as many points between now and the end of the season as those 2.

I know we have some tough away games to play, but look where we are now having travelled to Manchester, Liverpool, Stoke, Swansea and Newcastle. We've dropped points in those games yet we're still 10 clear of those 2 and 5 behind Utd.

Believe!
