Will we stay up?

[jimbo]

I have to say that the league is so tight, with teams taking points off each left, right and centre that the total the 17th placed team has at the end of the season will probably be lower than we've been used to.

[Seanson]

We'll just about sneek upto 14th.

 

[Sp3akerboxxx]

be fine as long as Pavlyuchenko stays fit. It's scary how much we rely on him already.

 

[ginol@14]

we need a big confidence boost or we really will go down this year
levy needs to get the cheque book out and spend it on class rather than the overpriced crap we brought in this summer

 

[Johnspur]

I'm nervous at the moment, the most worried I've been since supporting spurs. We're on 21 points with 16 games remaining 7 wins should be enough (not making any guarantee's) that'd leave us on 42 points. I just reckon we'll be ok.

Note: This time last season we were on 24 points after 22 games, only 3 points better off than now. We finished on 46 points.

 

[Rackybear]

We are not going to get relegated. Whilst im not ruling it out, I find it very unlikely.

Do a similar table of what results you think the teams in and around us will get, and I think you will perhaps find they themselves may struggle to attain even 15 points.

Also, as has been proven with many other threads, predictions as to how we might do in those games goes well and truly out the window when it comes to actual results. We always thought the likes of fulham, west brom, stoke, pompey and so on would be 3 point bankers, but its turned out our form against the top 4 has proven to earn us more points.

Football is far too unpredictable for such educated guesses, and my left nut sack says that it will be the case again.

I mean, for a start, you think we're going to beat stoke at home? :rofl:

Realistic points total

I was looking at our remaining fixtures in the league so I thought I'd add up where I thought we could actually pick up points.

Here is what I think we could do..

27/1 – Spurs v Stoke - 3
31/1 – Bolton v Spurs - 0
08/2 – Spurs v Arsenal - 0
03/02 – Hull v Spurs - 1
01/03 – Sunderland v Spurs - 0
04/03 – Spurs v Middlesboro - 3
14/03 – Villa v Spurs - 0
21/03 – Spurs v Chelsea - 0
04/04 – Blackburn v Spurs - 0
11/04 – Spurs v West Ham - 3
18/04 – Spurs v Newcastle - 3
25/04 – Man Utd v Spurs - 0
02/05 – Spurs v West Brom - 3
09/05 – Everton v Spurs - 0
16/05 – Spurs v Man City - 1
24/05 – Liverpool v Spurs - 0


Thats 17 points which I think we could get, although both difficult games at home with Newcastle and Westham.

That would take our total of points for the whole season to 38 points.

Will that be enough to stay up?
Or do you think we can pick up more points than that?

Either way its grim reading.

 

[ShelfSide18]

There was a thread on this the other day I believe?

Anyway, yes it can be interesting calculating points tallies but it is pie in the sky. We'll beat teams we should lose against on paper and lose to teams we shouldn't, on paper. Just look at our results so far this season.

Try calculating other teams tallies too, do they suddenly all take up and end on 50 points?

The main thing is we don't let any gaps form between the teams above us, take every game as it comes, and hopefully trust our players to get us through (with possibly a few reinforcements).

We have an unbalanced squad yes, but there's enough quality there to stay in the Premiership.

We shouldn't be arrogant but we should be confident enough to think we can escape relegation, in relative comfort at that.

 

[Shanks]

I didn't see a thread on this the other day.
And I can't be arsed to add up all the other teams points, as I'm onyl concerned about our points total.

So whilst, I hope we stay up, I'm not so confident that we will get enough points. It's a tough run in, and we need to be in a good position before the final 3 games of the season.

 

[whl_yid1982]

Unfortunately i don't see us staying up, i get that sicky, butterflies feeling in my stomach everytime i look at the table and think about our current form. If Harry really is a miracle worker he needs to start working his magic pronto.

 

[cheeseman]

Well I'm pretty sure we'll get more points between now and the end of the season than Stoke and West Brom. So that puts us above them. So all we need to do then is get more than Blackburn and/or Middlesbrough. That's not to mention the teams just above us.

Can't see a problem.

 

[garyhopkins]

Of course we will stay up. We have plenty of talent in our squad that the others at the bottom would love. We are currently out of the bottom three and all we need is one good run of form to leap us into safer territory. In the next 16 games we need to do better than the three currently below us. If 'arry can't whip our squad into shape I will be very surprised.
As such does anyone know the current bookies odds for us staying up and going down (unfortunately where I am the bookies are illegal and difficult to get online)?
I reckon you can still get good odds on us going down. So I would suggest all the doom and gloom mongers put their money where there words are. You're on a winner. if we stay up you're happy and if we go down you can make some money to relieve the pain...

 

[Bonjour]

Not on my watch.

 

[garyhopkins]

Online Coral are offering 10-1 on us going down. If you really believe we are going down get on that one!
I don't believe we will, so I won't but great odds all the same...the bookies don't think we are going down!!!!!!

 

[wishmaster]

We`ll end up with 38 points and finish second from bottom. Levi and his wonder team of glory boys did this, no one else, how many times over the years has Rednapp been in relegation fights? just bad luck? i think not. Levi sacked Joll, Levi authorised the dismemberment do the best stike force we have had for years and most of all Levi backed Commoli on the Darren Bent signing and the rest of his shower of shit he got in. Penny dropped 12 months later and he realised Defoe should not have been sold so we pay double for him to get him back. When Joll was signed Levi harped on about stability, since then have we had stability, yeah right:bang:.
To many Bentley chavs :shrug:and not enough grafters, to many shouldnt be in the squad let alone the team. Who the hell is going to come to us in the position we are in? Oh well Loftus road to look forward to next year, oh and the wonderful banter from the gooners. Modric, Defoe, Lennon, King, Dawson and a few others will be gone so it will need a total rebuild. Am i bovvered? not really any more the Spurs i know dont really exist any more:violin:. They cant pass, cant tackle and sure as shit cant score. Sad really, proof that the strikers for the last few years had kept the team up.:shake:

 

[DC_Boy]

I think 38 would probably take us down

but is the run in as fearsome as many think

for example, I expect city to be comfortably mid table and not exactly bursting blood vessels on our last home game

of course they could still be chasing Mr Europa, but they probably won't be

 

[liberty]

I reckon we'll get 22 from our remaining games with a draw on the final day securing that we stay up!

 

[Shanks]

We could take points from at Bolton and Blackburn, those are games we could win.
We could also take points at home from Arsenal, although I can only see 1 point (although we have done well against top four teams so far).

Man Utd, maybe a draw, same for chelsea at home.

Man City, could be out of the running, Everton will be tough, and depending on how Liverpool are placed at teh time, so there are some games we could do well in.

 

[rabs]

any realistic scenario will come down to us only beating the drop by a game or two. expect our last 3 fixtures to be EXTREMELY tense both in terms of our results and those around us.

so whatever happens expect no fingernails by mid may.
