The Race to the Title

[scat1620]

Having had my Spurs baptism during the latter days of Gerry Francis followed by Christian Gross, I tend towards pessimism when it comes to supporting Spurs, or at least a nagging sense that we'll always find a way to not quite achieve our goals somehow. But I think we'll win tomorrow, just got a gut feeling that we'll turn up and be counted. Dier header from a Lamela corner: calling it.

I agree, theres something about slipping from top spot that seems really devestating, even if there is another 10 games to go after. Its all in the mind and i believe there is probably less pressure on tomorrow then there woukd be if we were 5pts behind!!

Let's hope none of the players get fairy liquid in their eye because of the stupid bubbles.

I really hate/love this feeling of butterflies in my stomach. The being on edge and feeling nervous as though it were me playing tomorrow. The tension! The excitement! It's all too much!
I so hope the lads can keep their nerves under control. If it's like this for us, what must it be like for them?

I

I do. It's maintaining it that's worrying me

We are the best team in the league. Unless the players lose their minds, we win the league in my opinion.

 

[Marvinspur]

This is perfect. The team have now got a real motivation to go out there and win. Not that we needed it but sometimes West Ham really come atus and we struggle to match thier motivation

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Seriouslly don't know how I will react if we were to win the league.

There's about a half a dozen of us who have been going together to Spurs since the 70's, obviously not as much now, real life and all that, but anyway we've all decided to get a tattoo to celebrate it if we do indeed win the thing.

I wanted to get "Tottenham Hotspur - Champions 2015/16" tattooed onto my old chap but the last couple of digits would have had to go on my bell end and I aint that committed

Nobody else wanted that, probably because they ain't as hung as me, so we've decided to wait and see before we make our minds up. But it'll be interesting to see how it pans out on the tatt because I bet there's gonna be some really nice bits of art dreamed up if we win it.

Not quite sure how to process any of this. Was comfortable going under the radar enjoy each game. But the possibility of going top in March? I might faint if we do! Win and it's entirely in our hands with that GD we built up.

Everyone should watch this, right now. Come on you Spurs.

I loved that. There are one or two more out there along similar lines too. The one thing I wish they'd find a way of adding though is a greater appreciation of how truly deep our history is. That cup win in 1901 was a national championship at a time when the football league was still only 13 years old and comprised almost entirely of midlands and northern clubs. It was the inspiration for Chelsea football club and the envy of every other southern club. "The Flower of the South" ran the slogan. Then you have another cup win in 1921, and the push and run team of the late 40s/early 50s, with THFC having the highest attendances in the entire country, even when they were in div 2. The double came later and we shouldn't give the impression that that's where it all started, even if it was when Spurs were at their peak.

The other thing is the quote towards the end about "glory glory". I really hate it when Man Utd sing that song. It's ours, just as quintessentially Spurs as it possibly could be. I'd absolutely love to hear it reverberate around English football grounds at the end of the season along with everyone going dadadada to McNamara's band! Well not at the same time, obviously.

Don't you say those things

 

[Marvinspur]

I'm not worried about nerves. The way we play and celebrate suggests there is a real belief we can do it. No one is talking about it but it is so clearly there!

Every time I see VDV my heart bleeds that he's not with us any more. Fuck me I'm excited about tomorrow now, I hope we smash those Pikeys to pieces!

I have also considered a tattoo if we were to win it. To get it done there it would probably have to just say 'Champs' though so I might look into the chest or shoulder...

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

If we had signed Lee Cattermole we would already have the league title wrapped up.

Well done Poch you fat twat

 

[oskathegobshite]

Is that you Lee?

 

[spurs_girl_tasha]

I feel sick with nerves already.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

To be fair to Leicester they were unlucky, hit the bar twice, goalkeeper made a good save and generally created lots. For those that didn't see the game it could look like their performance dropped because it's a home draw to West Brom but in my opinion that's not the case, Leicester will be around the top places till the end, can't rely on them dropping off.

I watched the match and Leicester weren't overly impressive. They had a lot of ball but anything they did with it was either all Mahrez's work or a mistake by a West Brom player. They looked like the better side yes, but certainly not like a side going for the title.
