Race for the Top 4 - 2017/18

[worcestersauce]

five points clear with four games against average to piss poor sides and people are running scared? Some posts have said we never make it easy! What is easy if this isn't? Let's be honest, if Chelsea overtake us it will be because they have started playing like us and we have started playing like West Brom they won't and we won't, we are actually quite a good team you know.

We’re 2 points behind Liverpool (who have Chelsea away to play and have 2 massive CL semi final ties coming up) and 5 points (with a better goal difference) ahead of Chelsea but all you pussies are shitting the bed.

Pussies.

i swear i'll turn into a serial killer named "SPURSY" if we cock up the top 4, lose to Chavs in the FA Cup Final, Bindippers win Champions League, Scumbags win Europa League.....

 

[Haddock]

We won't lose a 5 point lead when we're playing the likes of Watford, Newcastle, Leicester at home and WBA away.

Yes, go ahead and rate this post "Optimistic" you pessimistic doom mongers.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Win the next two...Watford home and wba away and that will be it Chelsea won’t win all theirs.
Watched Burnley last night lowest home scorers awful to watch It’s just a bit more refined allardyce team. Why do nearly all the English coaches play the same way.....Eddie Howe excepted. Football has moved on , leaving us behind.

4 eminently winnable matches (3 at home and one away to the league’s worst side by far), our two rivals either side of us playing each other, 5 points clear of Chelsea, 2 begins Liverpool....

I think this fortuitous situation is the main reason I’m shitting myself

*rocks back and forth in chair muttering*

6 point lead with GD...
6 point lead with GD...
6 point lead with GD...

If we dont finish 4th, we are a bunch of legends.... Sorry but true!

to lose a 10 point lead over 6 games would be unforgivable, we lost a 10 point lead to Arsenal in 2016 with 10 games to go and that was bad enough

We need a big performance on Saturday and again the following Monday against Watford, my worry is Chelsea will likely be 2 points behind us when we come out against Watford and we know we struggle when in scenarios like this.

Tuesday was a huge fuck up, I can accept last Sat but Tues still pisses me off as we have just given Chelsea such a lift

I personally think we will be Ok and will get 4th but due to the team not turning up Tuesday they have made it very, very difficult. Finish 5th and no trophies after where we was on 1st April would be unforgivable

We showed great "bottle" to beat chelsea away after going down 1-0

Anyone miss the old days, St Totterings Day well past, thoughts turning to summer?

No.

You bunch of fucking bed wetters. Man the fuck up for crying out loud!

The only thing Spursy these days is our fans.

 

[gerishep]

I'm pretty certain we're fine, we would have to have the most monumental bottlejob in recent memory to fuck this up

Well we are a good bet for doing this type of thing, its already being openly talked about. Imagine it, 5th in a 4 horse race, Aghh.

We have missed out on top 4 in the past due to events being outside of our control.

Interesting how everyone assumes chelsea will stroll past Swansea. They’ve only lost 1 out 6 at home with new manager that was to us. And they’ve beaten Liverpool and Arsenal and are fighting for their lives. Swansea could easily nick a draw or win.

Yeah

5 fooking times man up 5 fooking times

The job isn't done yet. To think it is, is a mistake we cannot make again.

 

[SEANSPURS1975]

It’s a shame that some of us are not looking at finishing above Liverpool instead of looking over our shoulder at Chelsea.
That’s what being a Tottenham fan has done over many, many years. This is what years of failing at a crucial time has done. There is no right way of looking at it. ‘Man up’ and ‘bed wetters’. Absolute fucking lol.
We all want the same thing and we’ll all celebrate the same when/if we achieve something.

It's more that failing to finish above liverpool doesn't really matter that much. Failing to finish above chelsea does.

Surely you don’t think Poch or the players think it’s job done, though?
