Top four finish?

[gazzeh]

If we win the league on goal difference, I will question everything I thought I knew about life.

 

[Hazardousman]

I would want leicester to win both their next 2 games and then start to decline when the pressure is really on as I can't see the scum and city losing many more points

Surely the best outcome would be for both of those games to result in a draw with us winning our next two? That way they all drop points?

 

[longtimespur]

surely you don't want Leicester to lose to Arsenal

We'll still be above them though and as long as we end up above them I don't care.

 

[WaynoTHFC]

My uncle and cousins send me a 'Happy St. Totteringham's Day' email each year

Due to the fact that that this year we genuinely have a chance of finishing above them, what would be the alternative 'Day' if this were to happen? St. Arses Day maybe?

I was talking to my dad last night

I can't remember exactly what brought the conversation up but ultimately it was sparked by a statement from him saying "well we don't think we have a chance of winning the league do we?"

Which prompted me to question why not?

I said to him, as things stand we're as well placed as anyone else and clearly we're in the title race

His answer was that if the club were serious about thinking we could win the league this season we would have spent in the transfer window

I asked him if he thought Leicester could win the league - he replied that yes he actually thinks they can because they have Vardy and Mahrez

I reminded him of the time Keegan's Newcastle were running away with the league and signed Asprilla to cement the title, but instead unbalanced the team and derailed their own challenge

I questioned whether the reason we didn't sign a striker was not because we were not serious about winning the league but more because we thought we could challenge with what we had and what was available to buy was no better or likely to improve our chances

He then said well we have to play Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool away and we still got Arsenal and Man U at home

I said to him "who do you think Leicester have left then?" and I explained their next two fixtures were away to City and Arsenal and that they too had tough fixtures in the run in

He then stroppily asked me in a sarcastic manner if I thought we would win the league this year then - I of course had to concede that ultimately no I didn't think we would be champions this year, but that I didn't think it impossible and I certainly thought we are in the race as things stand and that I found it ridiculous to write us off for the reasons he had

We then sat in awkward silence until my mum came in and changed the subject before I went home shortly after with my dad still sulking......

OK.

@Shea This is much like most pundits too.

They all say Leicester could win it, then mention how they don't think Spurs are strong enough. In my opinion we have a better squad and should be classed as having just as much chance as Leicester.

They have Mahrez and Vardy..... what makes them better than Alli & Kane?

 

[Pellshek]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd have nightmares about getting 4th and then going out in the qualifying round to some horrid draw like one of the Moscow clubs, or Standard Liege or Rapid Vienna or Lazio, or one of those kinds of clubs. Fucking nightmare.

So I'm thinking Top 3 rather than Top 4 to be honest. Or better, of course.

I get Spurs fans having the "Spurs will find a way to fuck it up mentality" it's ingrained with years of experience for us all.

I don't even really think we can win it this year

I find it mad how we don't really seem to be considered title contenders at this stage though, even by our own fans. Leicester seem to very much be considered in the mix yet had we beat them at the Lane we'd be a point clear, Arsenal are even considered strong contenders by all yet they're level with us and behind on goal difference

I'm surprised we're not being taken more seriously at this stage

 

[Shadydan]

So the question is what is your prefered result for Leicester v City??

Leicester must not win at all costs.

 

[Shea]

Leicester must not win at all costs.

I agree, I want a draw or City win

Leicester need to drop some points now for us to over take them

I was certain they'd be held to a draw against Liverpool, I expect them to lose to both City and Arsenal. If they end up with 9 points from those fixtures I think they will be too far ahead of us

Draw all day long.

Sounds like a legendary evening

Yea well, we're a very exciting family

 

[worcestersauce]

Draw all day long.

Yup all we want is for the teams around us to drop points, we've got three months to catch Leicester.

 

[npearl4spurs]

We can win the title this year and right now I'm grateful for that

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Draw all day long.

Agreed, if a winner is declared, 3 points is awarded to teams around us. If a draw, only 2 points are awarded to teams around us. That's far easier for us to deal with.

Use the same name, take ownership!

If they don't start dropping points after the next two matches I'm genuinally scared that they might not drop any points ever
