Really? I'm crapping myself worrying.
I remember shitting myself about the back-to-back away games against Southampton and Watford as before that we'd only won 2 away games all season - ended up winning both comfortably.

I'm sure the team are riding high on confidence, and will have a few plans in place to get the job done. Have faith!

Im in Chiswick tonight. Any one know of a pub with BT Sport? To watch the City/Chelsea game, I know we are not on TV. Thanks.

not going to call this a banker and it's the type of game on which premier league excitement is build.

And traditionally (not so much under Poch) we have struggled to break teams down.

That said: the way we are playing give me confidence. let's do-em.

I don't think we'll catch Chelsea but the race is not over yet. As everyone is saying next 3 games will be decisive.

We have to win all 3, it's not beyond realms of possibility that Chelsea will draw tonight. Then we play first Saturday, cut the lead to two points and Chelsea will feel huge pressure away at Bournemouth. I expect them to win that but the week after again we play first so they'll be playing at Utd two pts ahead. I would be very surprised if they won at Old Trafford. Could be a draw then we're 3pts behind with 6 games left, which is game on.

Equally Chelsea win tonight it's nearly over, they win and we don't end its 100% over. I just have this bad feeling at some point over next month we'll cut lead to 4pts then lose to Leicester in a weird reverse to hand Chelsea title.
Then the rhetoric will be we fell short, bottled it, handed Chelsea title in a race we were never entirely in again. Instead of positivity of a young fantastic team finishing second it'll have this negative spin to it.

im a bit worried. what if we beat Swansea and Man city beat Chelsea? that will be one of the most unlike spurs things ive ever witnessed. ive been fully expecting us to lose and Chelsea to win, since it became actually quite a big night for football, to keep the status quo, but now ive got it in my head that we will win and they will lose. feels very uncomfortable.

I would love to feel this way but city Can't defend. Chelsea were brilliant against palace. Things just didn't go their way. Can't see that happening again. I think Chelsea will win comfortably

it worries me that everyone is optimistic, watch it be the spursiest of spurs performances, we will dominate for 80 minutes, and then gylfi will ping one in the top bin in the 83rd

Can't wait for tonight. Im confident we will do our job and get the 3 points. Im hopeful (but no more) that City will win or at least draw. But as others have said we just need to focus on ourselves.

Time for a quick rant. Bloody Bien Sports here in Philippines are showing Chelsea v Man City on one channel which is understandable but on the other they have bloody Liverpool v Bournemouth. W@nkers. Will have to watch the Chelsea game and listen to us on the radio.

COYS. Same team as Saturday but Dembele in for Winks maybe also Son for Vince? Not that fussed by the selection to be honest as we should be strong enough to do this.

I think we'll win comfortably. I get that people are nervous as it would be massive, especially if Chelsea drop points tonight. Burnley away, for me was one of our toughest remaining fixtures. And we dealt with them, in the end, convincingly. The Poch will get them mentally prepared from now til the end of the season. COYS!

They had an initial lift when Clement took over but recent results have been dire. Watching them draw with Boro last week I felt sure both of them were relegation certainties. They may have more of a chance if they get Llorente back though.

As long as we get top 3 (2nd would be stunning, 1st a state of stunning ecstasy akin to a biblical fuck with a randy angel) I'll be happy. We cement our top four status and send out a serious message that our ethos, one that rewards hard work, guts and team work, is not just a flash in the pan but a sustainable, inclusive model.
Fuck Chelsea either way, they're a horrible club spending shit loads more than us yet they're still profoundly classless.
