The Race to the Title

[Strikeb4ck]

Think that's it for us. I know it sounds knee jerk 2 pts (currently) back but it just seems like the title winning side takes that game today up 2-1 and up a man. Instead we semi-capitulated. Have to wonder if it's the same old Spurs after all and the freshness, experience winning things, and mental strength is really there. We have a tough run in compared to the others as well. City are close if they win today and their game in hand, Arsenal are right there, Leicester can now put some daylight in between themselves and the rest. We will see, hope I am wrong.

The WHU result I get - that was their cup final and we were looking ahead to this game.

But today, a title side wins in the situation we were in.

If that's reason that a team can't win the title then no one will win it this year.

Every team in the league has done this so far.

Leicester - Lost their heads against Arsenal with a dumb red card and dumb foul at the very end of the game
Arsenal - Couldn't beat Man U's kid team
City - Can't beat a single top 4 team
United - Have you watched them this year? Woeful.

Think we need to close this thread, title dreams are over for me as we seem to be tiring as a team and have bottled it in the last 2 games unfortunately... we have had a great season though and hopefully we can finish in the top 3 so we are guaranteed CL football next year. I think that has to be our aim now. COYS!

We could be 2/3 points off the top by the end of today but we've got no chance of winning the title. Right OK then.

The only way the title dream would be over is if the players have the same attitude as some of the fans and throw the towel in. Let's hope they don't.

Stop fucking complaining. It's not over

Arsenal in 1998. City in 2012. City in 2014.

It's really not that uncommon that a runaway winner hasn't won. And this year, there's no runaway winner!

We absolutely need to win 7 of our last 9 games. But that's what title winners do; they put a run together when it counts.

COME ON GUYS! We can do this!

Negative posts of some fans make me feel ill

 

[glacierSpurs]

after 2 London games, now games against Stoke, West Brom worries me...

guess I need to tell myself to keep expectations at top-3 for now.....

I fancy Watford to do something against leiceter

It's a real disappointment to let the lead go against 10 men but arsenal are a good team and a point isn't the worst result and we could have lost on the day

There's still a lot of football to be played and there will be many more twists - frustrating results from our last 2 but it's too soon to completely write us off

Not with that attitude.

More worried about teams behind us now than I am Leicester, people thinking we will roll over Villa just because they are playing shit are living in a world of delusion, I actually worry more because of that very fact, look at Arsenal, horrible form, injured riddled, down to ten men and we still couldn't do the job.

It's not going to be easy and frankly with the way we are playing I am starting to wonder if we are hitting a huge bad patch of form, the players seem different mentally, almost like either the pressure has got to them or tiredness really is starting to have a massive affect.

Always UFC to watch instead

City and Utd are back in it now

 

[Lighty64]

hopefully our last 9 matches it won't bloody rain, if they are tired, which I think they are, makes it a lot more tiring.

today we missed an opportunity and are now in need for Watford to do something tonight. a win or draw for Watford will give us 1 more opportunity to hit the top, though they will only have to play Newcastle who have only turned up for 2 away games this season.

What we found out this week: we are just one of the 5 mediocre teams that chase top 4. There are very little quality difference between these 5. Even manure with win tomorrow will be only 5 pts back of us. Need to solidify the top 4 position before talking about winning the title.

You should do motivational speaking

if you was offered top3 at the start of the season would you of taken it? I know I would of, and still would

I like many want this so bad, and will be a little more worried after tonight, but until its impossible to win, I will continue to dream.

 

[ChRiStOpHe]

Amusing, and disappointing, how many among us are desperate to fail.

Love to win, but feel so at home when it all goes wrong.

Leicester don't seem phased by the run in though mate, they may have dropped points but their level of play has remained the same.

Ours however has seen a noticeable drop off in the last two games in terms of both confidence and energy, 1 month ago Arsenal would have never scored that second goal today. I doubt Watford will get anything from tonight, I can only see a comfortable Leicester win.

Did you see West Ham game. Would've probably lost today too without the sending off.
