The race for 4th..

4 weeks out is great though, especially considering he's scored something like 40% of their goals. I don't mind him being back for our City game as long as they struggle to score in the interim and lose a few matches.

Mr. Guappa · 14-04-2011 2:30pm

The Tevez is injury is a huge blow to City.

The FA Cup Final is scheduled for the 14th of May, 4 days after we play City. So if they do get to the Final they will have a busy end to their season.

We can only worry about our own results.. 6 points from the Arsenal and West Brom games will ramp up the pressure nicely.

spursman11 · 14-04-2011 9:30pm

it has never so important to beat Arsenal,those last few draws could be costly,hope the players can lift it,its not like we will playing Real Madrid like teams for the rest of the season.it would be a great boost to get 3rd/4th again as we could strenghten our striker and centre half position.
C'mon the Spurs

West ham look like they will go down now so robbie will be back at the lane in the summer. Disaster

Have you seen Messi over the last few seasons ?

ziedth · 21-04-2011 8:53am

Great result last night all things considered.

Looking at our run in gotta beat Brom, Birmingham, City, Blackpool and get a win out of Pool or Chelsea and we're free and clear. Now, that of course won't happen so it's gonna come down to City too.

Can someone put up their run in?

I can't see City dropping many, if any, points against their teams. I'm not going to say their run in is easy, but it's so much easier then ours is, and i'd be very surprised (and fuppin delighted) if we managed to overtake them.

pleasant Co. · 21-04-2011 10:49am

They have 3 relegation threatened teams [Blackburn, west ham, bolton] to play and an always tricky Everton, I'd be more surprised if they didn't drop points against one of them

ziedth · 21-04-2011 1:07pm

Everton away= Never Easy
West Ham= In a dog fight more then up for it.
Blackburn/Stoke= Unlikely to drop points but anything can happen on matchday.

We HAVE to be in a position that a win and we overtake them come our trip to Manchester.

Stoke could be in a strange position that it will benefit them to lose the game.

If City beat Stoke in the FA Cup final that's stoke out of Europe unless city happen to finish 4th. That concerns me tbh.

The flipside to that is if City win the cup it would be to Liverpools advantage to let Spurs finish 4th so they can gurantee themselves Europe.

We still have to go to Anfield.

I'm not as worried about that

manic mailman · 21-04-2011 7:04pm

If we snatched 4th from City again.....that would be NOM.

ziedth · 21-04-2011 8:50pm

I'd love it. Even if we got a nightmare group next year just to rob megabucks city again.

Hatch99 · 01-05-2011 7:36pm

Not sure I even want us to finish 5th tbh

I hope we finish 6th. 4th is gone, we may as well accept that now. I think City only need one more win to guarantee that, and the EL is only a distraction. Add to that we have never performed well in the league while playing in Europe.

I'd agree with this. The Europa League is more of a hindrance. If we were to qualify for it I'd be playing reserves and youths every game, but given injuries you'll always find a couple of regulars pressed into action.

spursman11 · 10-05-2011 7:24pm

anyone question the way Scharwzer left in 2 of the goals last night,if it was Gomes who let those in ,pictures would be all over sky sports saying what a disaster,a few liverpool fans stated today that the felt he might have been bribed,(allegedly),the goal where he catches the post with 2 hands before the ball was kicked in is questionable ,possibly bad goalkeeping??

Nice to hear Jose tipping us! I will speculate that Mourinho has tipped us on the basis that his good friend Wesley Sneijder intends to join us:cool::cool::cool:

If only Defoe had connected with the cross in the 89th minute vs Citeh last year. Instead of winning and going on to push for 2nd we ended up just about managing to hold on to 4th.

2nd Row Donkey · 10-01-2013 1:02pm

Are chelsea in the middle of a (mini) crisis at the momen?

Every title (or top 4) challenging club goes through one blip in the season so hopefully they are in the middle of theirs now and we can take advantage in the upcoming fixture list.

Leinstersqspur · 10-01-2013 11:15pm

United v Pool, Arsenal v City both draws and Spurs to win @ 20/1

Like the manager I too hope to profit from the results of the top two this weekend!

The race for 4th..
