A win tomorrow and it's still on. Man U have 3 loseable games left.
Huge if, but if we win tomorrow we could well win the 3 games after that. Very winnable. Utd won't beat arsenal away, and could they drop points at palace?defintley. My god if only we had beaten villa at home

If we had held our shit together after the cup final we'd have strolled to the CL

Although I am sure all the teams can say the same

Only Arsenal really stepped up and put a consistent run together out of the top 5 below Chelsea

Admire optimism, but no chance. We ain't winning 4 games in a row. Our goal difference is dreadful too. Will do well to get 5th.

I disagree, tomorrow is the difficult one but Stoke look like they're on their holidays, Hull at home should be straightforward and Everton will be told they can have Lennon for free is we qualify for the CL.

And for Man U, as we found out, Palace under Pardew is a tough game, Arsenal will be favourites against them - you'd fancy them against Hull though.

There is no way we'll win our next 4 games. Best we'll do is 10 points and that's still very optimistic.

I think we'll bag 7 points to take us to 65. 6th behind the Scousers and Utd.

We prob have 10 percent chance of making it but let's not all give up yet.

I agree, but who would have thought Leicester would win 5 out of 6 or weat brom win tonight. Takes a lot of luck and kane to bang in a few but it's not impossible

With regards to Leicester, it's common knowledge that they'd been playing better than what their results had shown. I'd say judging by our performances overall the table hasn't lied.

The odds on United buggering up further, Liverpool failing to capitalise and then us capitalising really is miniscule.

LoL :cautious::cautious::cautious:

Maybe if we finish above United and RM 'take' Lloris of us...we could go for de Gea :woot::woot::woot::finger:

Seriously, now, it is only the slimmest of slim chances and no-one should kid themselves it is anything else. That said, United have lost three games on the trot without scoring a goal - Palace away is a tough game right now (just a pity they look to be safe). And Hull away, with them in the middle of a relegation fight, is hardly the type of game you would want to turn fragile form around in, either. If we can beat Citeh* tomorrow then it may just go down to the last day...which is something none of us was expecting after the Villa game. If only we hadn't started our post season rest against Burnley, eh :rolleyes:

* Clearly we are going to beat Citeh...I was gonna put a double on the Baggies to beat United and us to win tomorrow, but decided it wasn't worth it :eek::eek::eek:

Hull at home should be straightforward

Ah yes the home banker at whl!

This is the mentality that screws us every year. It won't be straightforward and with 3 ex Spurs players with a point to prove in the line up its exactly the type of game that the players/fans take lightly and we mess up. Hull have just beaten Liverpool which is something we have failed miserably to do in the past few seasons.

I can see us beating city and losing to them.

I agree with you regarding our fans (and the team, it seems) and these easy home bankers that often turn out to be anything but...

Funny, though, that you choose to take Camden to task over this assertion about Hull...but ignore the other one about the same team: talking about United, a team who have lost their last three games without scoring a single goal and are away at Hull, who aren't too bad at home and are fighting for their EPL status, that you'd fancy them against Hull though. It could be argued that overstating rival teams while talking about ourselves like we are Accrington fecking who are they fecking Stanley (no disrespect) is also a bit of a Spurs supporter trait :)

Not getting my hopes up. If we can beat Oil Money tomorrow we'll have an outside chance, but our players will probably bottle it like they did in the United game.

if we push to the last day I'm not sure if I'll he happy that we gave it everything of proper pissed off with our form after the Arsenal game.

It would be nice to see a proper performance tomorrow though and the chance of CL is still there so we should keep going until we can't get it anymore, given the rewards available for it.

The Burnley game is where we gave up. It was pretty pathetic in truth.

Had we won that and duly beat Villa we'd be bang in the mix.

Harry Kane will be the difference. It's been "Roy of the Rovers" stuff for him this season...he could really stick a cherry on top of what has already been such a memorable year.

It's ifs and buts every season. It's not the way to look at it.

You could keep doing ifs and buts until you've won the league.
