Bilic says he enjoys watching us play. Hopefully for him he remembers his binoculars

One day something will go wrong. It might be here, it could be Leicester. No team ever wins all their games all of the time. Please don't let it be tonight.

So, haven't trawled, but where are the Spurs pubs around there tonight? I don't fancy being stabbed before the game!

Agree however 7 years ago today we beat City to scrape into the CL. A point tonight would see us guarantee 2nd place and it will be deemed a failure. Massive organic progress, we should be excited about where we will be in another 7.

If you hear anyone say 'for the good of the premier league Spurs need to win' tell them to shut the fuck up. People are just waiting to revert to type and take the piss out of us. For the good of Spurs is the only reason to win. Keep everyone out of their comfort zone.

By who? We had a bad October / November for points, and a couple of months ago were 13 points behind Chelsea, who have had no European games and no injuries. Yet tonight we could close to within 1 point. I think we have done very well, we have got CL two seasons on the trot, got more points than anyone over the last two seasons and have generally been regarded as the best team in that time. We also have the youngest team.

No-one in their right mind would regard that as a failure. That's not to say we aren't a bit disappointed not to have actually won a trophy or the title, but it's not the same thing as being a failure.

You're absolutely right, obviously. Which is why the inevitable "Spursy Spurs bottled the title" takes that will do their rounds if we should drop points tonight will be so very annoying.

I ain't going from work all the way to St Pancras to then get to Stratford!!! Must be something in or near Stratford?

Hamilton hall or dirty dicks. I'm guessing the escort will start there.

West Ham blog Claret and Blue reporting Carroll will not play tonight. Looks like Ayew and Calleri to start for them.

It's a boost, particularly if Walker doesn't play and the less physical Trippier takes his place in our side.

Calm down, obviously it's not a failure. It's a massive success which is my point. If we drop any points tonight, the title race will be really over and the media etc will say we have failed to win the title. If we do drop points, have a look on this forum and see how many see it (the result) as a success.

Tony Cottee banging on about us being their premier league rivals lol.

They're like our annoying little brother that we're just trying to ignore but they keep annoying us trying to get attention.
