It's official - we're out of the title race

The bells are ringing out for St. Totteringham's Day.

Strangely the amount of crowing Gooners has dropped, though. Concentrating on the title race or upset that we're winning more trophies than them?

Keep Berba, buy a world class playmaker and a goalkeeper and we can be Champions.

Noooooooooooo!!! I thought we still had every chances to win it!! Noooooooooo, my world has collapsed!!

In serious we are just 7 points from the relegation zone and althought I don't think we are in real danger, we just can't have other crap games like against Birmingham...

I was thinking that too, Bill. 33 points behind the Goons with 11 left to play. At least BMJ managed to see us through to May before that happened! Went to the last day one season I seem to recall :wink:.

True that.

Although he has to take at least half the blame for it coming so early this season. Doesn't he? After all, we lost to Birmingham in similarly embarrassing fashion (albeit with a less dramatic scoreline) pre-Juande.

I think Ramos was in charge for the home defeat too wasnt he?

No, as Fordy says, that defeat was under Ramos.

For the record, my like-for-like comparison with last season's results shows that Jol dropped one point, Allen one, and to date Ramos has dropped 6 points from the results we got from the equivalent games last season.

Brimingham (equivalent to Charlton away last season) was the first of five games that we won last season. West Ham (H), Man City (A), Chelsea (H) and Portsmouth (H) are the others.

we are almost out of the race to finish top 10 aint we realistically??

 

[Bingy]

The Brum Fiasco was just that....and out of character....even for Spurs, post 2007. .I think that what we need is Ramos to have a 'sudden rush of blood' to the head....and take up the reins at 'rudderless' Listerpeel City, or whoever they are....and we can get back to mid-table obscurity....and normality. phhaaaaaaaaaaaa....even in jest it makes my soul quiver....NEVER again......We MUST look forward....to a Ramos led era that will see us 'getting serious' AT LAST.....COYS!

Yep, we also still need 3 wins to ensure we are safe!

We need a few more wins from somewhere to get out of the relegation race too!

12 points off 9th place with 11 games left, even if we'd beaten Birmingham I don't think top 6 was ever really on the cards and now we have too many points to make up in too few games.

All we have to do is stay in the league, and there are plenty of teams below us who I wouldn't expect to catch us so as long as we don't take our eye off the ball we should be fine. Even 10th is 8 points away from us, though it would be nice to overtake West Ham I think finishing 11th and winning the UEFA Cup would be preferable.
