Good result for us but it will mean nothing if we don’t beat Burnley.
Need to capitalise next 4 winnable. Arsenal have tough Xmas schedule. Be disappointed if we don’t have 3 pt gap over them after new year.

Not sure why people are so sure we can beat Burnley away when we couldn’t beat them at home. This team are no mugs, remember the teams they have beaten this year and the position they warrant in the league. They were above us for Christ sake just over a week and a half ago!
I think, just like some of the players we have been far to cocky this year. Yes we have some great players, but they need to work hard get stuck in and play for 90/95 minuets whatever it is. To much pissing around and no heart or substance. Burnley have some good players but mainly they play as a team, work hard and for every game. This will be a tough game and we could easily come away with nothing if we put in the same effort as we have in some the performances recently.
For me this is a key game, no it isn’t season make or break but it will go a long way showing us what this spurs team is really made of and what we can or can not accomplish this year.

They have ward and Tarksoki out we have Lamela,
Sanchez and possibly wanyama back and we have a bigger squad to cope over the festive period and will be looking to bounce back after that thrashing by city. I get what you’re saying but I think the ‘home’ match at neutral venue Wembley is actually harder than going to their gaff. 2-0 or 2-1 us.

Off the top of my head I don't think our record against them away from home is great either. All I can ever remember reading about after we've played them away from home is posters who've gone to the game complaining about what a shithole Burnley is.

It's not the best. Few draws and a win of late.

I can't even remember that 2 nil win last season. I remember the home game though where I think we won with a Kane penalty. Not sure we are allowed penalties this season though so will have to do it the hard way today.

Have to disagree, whilst this is a bad moment it was nowhere near as bad as the moment he and Adebayor ducked out of the way of that free kick at Upton Park to let the Spammers take a 2-0 lead, that was disgraceful.

Not a chance we are getting a win at the Bridge but we're going to need to keep them out there if we want to finish above them.

Top 4 is totally still on. So is top 3. Only Citeh are uncatchable. Even ManU aren’t nailed on for 2nd. We need lots for performances like today. And by that I mean on it from the starting whistle. Get out there, get in their faces and want it. COYS!
