That's more like it. let's stop looking over our shoulder and look ahead of us. If we can drag city into the race then all the better.

No Thursday night hangover there, shows we cant use it as an excuse, it really is the race for 4th now and we are not looking good.

mickman

We have now lost all momentum and confidence whereas arsenal are growing in theirs

Last year they over took a 13 point lead we had, this year should be a walk in the park for them.

Pool fan here.

Between yourselves and Arsenal for 4th imo from day 1 and I think it'll go to the wire. Arsensal's lack of Euro comp could be vital.

Yes will go down to the wire and the extra games will not help, but still would be nice to win a European trophy all the same.

There are 3 certainties in life - death, taxes and spurs making a balls of their end of season run in.

Bad news, Bale got injured playing for Wales and was subbed for the second half.

I only caught the last 30mins of the Wales game but couldnt see any sign of Bale.
I was expecting CHarlie Adam to have tried kick him about again.

I just read he was kicked on ankle by Hanley who seen yellow. from what I see he should have had 2 more yellows but ref bottled it..
Wales were passing like Barca at that stage with Scotland down to 10 (sh1te) players/

Siggy scored 2 in Icelands comeback away to Slovenia..

& Defoe scored 2 in Eng demolition of San-Marino .

And the good news, Defoe scores twice for england. They may have been tap-ins but imo this is really good news for us Spurs fans as we all know when Defoe is on form and confident he can be a really good striker. We badly need one of our strikers to score for us in the run-in and maybe now(three "hail Marys" and four "our fathers") we have that.

Great News: Gareth bale- just to clear the air, I'm not injured I came off because I had a stomach virus! I should be fine for Tuesday. Thank fook!

Dempsey scored too for USA so hopefully this will reignite our season

SuprSi

Found this brilliant animation on another Spurs forum;

Weathering

Spurs 5th I reckon. Bottlers at the final fence. Arsenal 4th City 3rd Chelsea 2nd and lpool and everton battling for 6th

SuprSi

I won't comment until after the Swansea game. Win there and we're still in with a good shout but lose there and I reckon it's over, not just because of the result but the overall momentum.

Leinstersqspur

2 great goals from Siggy last night, Dempsey and Defoe with tap-ins..

Hopefully they bring that scoring form back for the Swansea game. Massive game. Particularly with the goons playing Reading.

Devo from Dublin

Holtby also scored....

time for the new signings... Dempsey,Siggy and Holtby to bang in a few for the yids now hopefully.

jobeenfitz

any win on saturday would be great but for a change wouldn't it be really really great to win easy and early so we could retain some nails for biting against chelsea, city and everton. Would also be nice to see new reading manager get a point or three this w.end. Would like to convey my sadness to the gooner fans on the injury's to walcott and wilshere, I'm sure we all feel the same.

jobeenfitz

It looks a bad injury for Bale. Lennon also injured. Where does that leave our chances of top four? Think the game is up meself!

Kiith

If Bale and Lennon are out for more than a week, it's game over as far as I'm concerned. You can't lose your two most potent attackers and still hope to challenge the top 4. Especially with Defoe out and Ade being useless.

So much for being positive

The way I see it, if we can scrape a win against Everton who are missing two players aswell then we have two weeks until our next league game. In all honesty I can't see Bale playing again this season but maybe we can get Lennon back.

jobeenfitz

Ye Bales injury doesn't look good but if I was to clutch at straws(thread thin straws), I can remember Bale on crutches (somewhere in asia I think) during last pr-season after being tackled (by some usless x-liverpool player who again I cant remember). I think bale shed his cruthces and played football rather swiftly. So maybe a Lazirus like recovery could be on the cards here again?

SuprSi

AVB on Bale: 'There is a big possibility he is going to be able to make it for the Man City game and he will only miss the next two games."

So he's going to miss the Everton and Basel games definitely. Let's at least hope that Lennon is fit for Sunday as if we don't win, with those injuries, the wheels would really come off this season and we'll be in big trouble.

That's it. Lets hope we beat Everton and then it's a 2 week break to the Paddys invasion of the lane and Bale and Lennon will be back in action by then hopefully.
