Where will we finish in the league? - October Update

[themanwhofellasleep]

Just over a month ago I did a poll to see where people thought we would finish in the league.

Someone jokily suggested that I repost the poll in a months time when we had climbed the table.

So, here it is again. Let's see what everyone thinks.

15th. I just can't see a team with the players Spurs have finishing lower than that, even with this awful awful start.

:hello:

Don't tell me 'too good to go down'!

:duh:

:bs:

We are in deep shit and I really believe that if we stick with Ramos,we will definitely get relegated.

 

[3Dnata]

I voted for top half if you're wondering.
I know we'll still be in a similar position after 14 games but I believe it will come good.

 

[themanwhofellasleep]

Nice to see some optimism.

 

[topcert]

I think we will just stay up, but as for euro and cups we can forget it this season..Come jan we need to spend big.1st signing has to be a DM :bang: and ideally on the 1st of jan.

 

[Coyboy]

Top four! I don't know, who could have predicted this? It could suddenly turn or it could get worse. I would say that there is enough quality to stay up but is there enough fight and determination. There should be with players like Bentley, Zokora, O'Hara, Hutton, Gomes and Woodgate but even some of them seem forlorn.

People People People - we will click soon...

Yes - we ARE too good to go down. Top half for me...just

To stay up we have to defy the stats, I'd like to think it would happen but I don't know how I'd cope to a nail biting end to the season, I'm gonna age a hundred years.

 

[mattylad77]

I just can't see where the first win is going to come from, so reluctantly I predict relegation.

 

[thebenjamin]

Stone bottom.

 

[jamesc0le]

easily, top half

 

[MattyP]

Where's the "win the league" option.

Win each of our remaining 30 games, 90 points, plus the two we've already got, makes 92, should be enough to win the league.

I demand three points from every game we play, I support us and urge us on in order to win every game.

Pin that fucker on the changing room wall, maybe it will finally sink into the players that they owe the supporters a winning performance.

But I'll go for top half, if we don't win the league.

easily, top half

Not sure what you have been eating this morning mate, wish to god you were right, but reality does set in sometimes. 40 points is along way off let alone the points required to get in the top half.

I HOPE i am right and that we just escape relegation, becuase the only other realistic outcome is relegation.

 

[sidford]

im not usually a pessimist but with a decent performance against chelski and 20 mins against stoke as our only decent spells of the season out of 13 or 14 games then i can't see where a win is going to come from.

 

[Subs]

We're two to three wins away from getting out of the relegation places and into mid table with 90 points still to play for over the rest of the season. Performances are poor (and have been for quite a while) but even so, it's still too early to expect relegation - still plenty of time to turn things around.

 

[mil1lion]

Still too early. I'd say 12th at the moment. A lot can change. A few back to back wins would get us going again though.

After the Wigan game, I found that there were still some bookmakers offering 25/1 against Spurs being relegated. The odds were simply too good to be true and I regret now only staking £100 (I had been tempted to bet £500). The best odds available today are 7/2 and this still seems remarkably generous.

We had a mediocre season last season and have since lost not only Berbatov and Keane but also some of the players (Tainio, Malbranque, Lee) who would have been invaluable in a prolonged relegation fight. Too many of our current squad (Jenas, Bentley, Zokora, Dos Santos, Pav, Modric) are 'luxury' players who would probably look at home in a good team but are not the type of players you require for a relegation battle. Outside of Hutton and O'Hara, I cannot see any of our squad who would relish a physical battle.

The table doesn't lie; we are bottom because we are the worst team in the Premiership. IMO by January we will be too far adrift to be able to save ourself in the transfer market. I hope I'm wrong, but things currently look very bleak.
