Omg please somebody stop this utter bollocks now.
We've only finished in the top 4 twice.
We're only half way for ffs not 3 games from the end.
Reel it in for Christs sake. It's embarrassing.

Will wait till march before talking about where we will finish.

Just hope some of our fans don't get too carried away. Enjoy our run of form by all means but it is still a long way off with many twists yet to come.

We won't win the league this year. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but we're not yet the finished article. However, we are getting there. Maybe in a few years we can launch a credible challenge, but if Kane gets injured in the next game we're in all sorts of trouble. El Tel used to say things are never as bad as they seem when it's all going wrong, or as good as they seem when it's all going right. There is a longer term progress at the club, with the new stadium too that bodes well for the future. Please though, if anyone is thinking of betting their mortgage on us being champions, wait at least a couple of years.

come on guys you are spoiling the party!
If we have a title to go for then the fans will get behind the team like nothing before. Our last 8-10 games form put us ahead of all last years top 4

Oh yeah baby, I'm gonna go into work next week and tell them all about how the mighty Spurs are going for the title! - NOT!!

Be realistic for your own sake, cause you'll never live it down around those Goon work colleagues.

Load of bollocks - but
If we get 7 points from next three games we're on.
If we make just three we're not.

Preferred it under the radar and no one talking us up.
Far too early to be thinking about it, just got to keep going as we are

Without a few key players, for whom we have no real replacements and we will struggle.

Dembele and Kane to name just two.

We have no solution for when these two pick up a knock or get jaded.

If by a miracle these two last the season we have a chance to go all the way.

BTW, I wonder where our heads are right now as fans? We have back to back matches against Leicester at home soon.

If you could only have a win and a loss from those fixtures, what would you rather see today?

League win, FA Cup loss, or visa versa.

Are you smoking crack!
Is this the 1940's?
Is King George VI on the Throne?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions then FA Cup.
If NO then League

I think we need to be realistic. A top four place is a distinct possibility this season with Chelski in free fall and Leicester probably not lasting the pace I think that is what we have to aim at. To say at this stage of the season we are contenders for winning the premier league is probably aiming a bit high. Of course it is a fact that Ars-n-l and Citeh could mess up big time and if we keep winning any thing is possible. I would love it to happen as would all Tottenham fans, but for now we need to keep our feet on the ground. For me a top four finish and a place in the Champions League would do just fine.

Arsenal should just give up now. Lose a few games then plod along while we win the rest of ours.. let their fans complain about Wenger a bit more, then be pacified when they sign another 45m player Real or Barca want rid of in a position they don't really need. Maybe they could get Adriano to strengthen their left back position.

"Honestly, in the wider scheme of things, you’d have to rate Spurs’ opportunity here more highly than those of City. "

Possibly the worst article of the year, what rubbish. I remember some of the journalists saying that City would be out of the top 4 this season and Liverpool would be up there for the title.

Then it's the Arsenal's year article which comes every other game, when Klopp wins back to back games, then it's a could it be Liverpool's year.

Leicester will drop off and City have been a shambles this year and still find themselves up there. City are nailed on favourites, unless they royally mess it up they should win the title. All they need is for Kompany and Toure to play 50% of the remaining games and that should be enough.

Any journalist that is suggesting that City will not win the title should really not be a journalist.

You'd be mad to do that though. Just keep quite outside the stadium then we'll surprise everyone

I'm not convinced they wont mess it up, they have been pretty dire in some games and I think that has a good chance of continuing. I think Arsenal have a very good chance.
