1-4, game over. Ade again. Great play.

ziedth

One more and we have the same goal difference as Arsenal. You'd never how handy that might be.....

mickman

This is the team we have missed so badly.

Excellent response when it was 1-1. The big players stepped up tonight

Think we need 2 ??

Nope, just 1 more needed to be level with Arsenal.

Pacing Mule

Sorry BBC's live table hadn't updated the last goal.

DamienKilmurray

Yep, Chelsea are toast now

Newcastle are at home to city and away to everton. Both really hard games

I think city will beat them and so could everton so draw at villaand win against fulham and we should be at least 4th

ziedth

Oh big time,

Must say i called that they would fall flat in the Race for 3rd thread :cool:

mickman

Bale was back to his old self tonight

Stuck on the wing and play s pass in rather than going for glory

Pacing Mule

If anyone were to win that game Newcastle is the best option. Great chance for city to beat them and their goal difference is far inferior to ours should results match over the next 2 games.

KingdomYid

How good was it to enjoy the last 20 minutes without any nerves haha . COYFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SuprSi

Hah, this season is just crazy. It's the maddest end of season I can ever remember, from dispair and agony to absolute elation! I couldn't watch the whole match, and when they went 1 - 1 I had to pop away, fearing the worst when I got back. What I saw shocked me beyond belief!

What a performance, in a ground we never do well in. Our goal difference is now better than Chelsea's, despite their hammering of QPR and we're still ahead of Newcastle, who I definitely preferred winning tonight. City or Everton won't find it easy against them at all so all credit to them.

Our first away win of 2012, and what a way to do it.

I'm still in shock!

galwayjohn89

If we could win our two and Arsenal drop points it would be amazing. A few weeks ago I was expecting us to completely self destruct and finish 6 or 7th

SuprSi

That's the thing. If we can think the impossible dream and beat Villa at the weekend, Arsenal are away to WBA who might want to send Roy off on a high with a win and we're at home to Fulham - anything could happen.

I can't believe we're still in with a chance of 3rd though!

T-b0n3

Delighted. What finish. Thought the worst when they were all over us at the start of the 2nd half.

COYS

4th is there for the taking. And hopefully the scum will drop some points and we can pinch 3rd back!

ziedth

I'm still calling it that Arsenal won't win either of those games.......

Brave call! I reckon they'll win at home but will eat something dodgy the night before the last game and lose 2 - 1, with us getting 3rd

Mullo76

Great win. Game on now. I'll be rooting for my other favourite teams Norwich, west brom and bayern over next few weeks. Coys

ziedth

I'll go as far as to pick the scores..... 0-0 with Norwich and West Brom will beat them 2-0...... Stick €5 on it i'm telling ya :pac:

Now now lads, enough of this kind of talk. We had this stuff before and looked like right idiots, we can celebrate if it comes off how we want it.

ziedth

Indeed,

I run away with myself when I get excited.

BTW did you see Cisse's goal? makes Luka's look like a tap in....

Yea they really were. My Dad was only just saying that we were linked with him once upon a time, really wish we had of got him!

Spurs fan usernames coming out of the woodwork in this thread tonight, love it, keep it up

Hatch99

Need to produce the same v Villa on sunday, 2 wingers are vital to how we play.

COYS

staker

Citeh gotta do us a favor on Sunday and bang in a few goals.
Missed tonight's match,great result.

KingdomYid

Superb finish by Rafa by the way, top quality.

ziedth

I only saw the second one... must find the first

everdead.ie

So England speculation ends spurs plsy like spurs again ......... coincidence?

Also Kyle walker has improved so much as the season has gone on. He cost us in a few important games but in the rest he has played such a pivtol role he's going to be top class.

BERBA

Arsenal won't drop any points i fear , the nightmare scenario i feared 2 months ago is on the cards us finishing 4th and chelski winning the champo

Can't help but feel the one that got away was Norwich at home:(

Leinstersqspur

Let's just go and win our next game and whatever will be will be... All to play for with pressure on both ourselves and arsenal.

Sandro was immense yet again!

This is my dream vuzuggu,to take back 3rd spot from the arse,what a finish to the season that would be for us.:)

Scored 4 with Parker not on the pitch, in the last 6 games we've gotten 6 in 2 games compared to 2 goals in 4 games when he played. He was immense for us this season but he needs to be dropped for the remaining games, he adds nothing going forward, and in fact I think he restricts us. No doubt he'll be back though when fit.

Great performance tonight, Bolton really had us under the cosh after HT but that goal from Van the man shattered them. Modric back to his outstanding best, and what a goal! Good to see Ade getting 2 as well, his second was very wel taken.

Harsh mate, he has been outstanding when he has played this season, and you can be guaranteed that had he been fit, he'd have played tonight.

A bit harsh, he was central to our big winning streak earlier on in the season too, and Blackburn and Bolton are particularly poor at the moment.

I think Parker is just Knackered and needs a rest, on form i think he is vital for spurs. But, if its not broke, dont fix it, id be happy to go with the same eleven against Villa at the weekend. Sandro certainly does add the extra attacking option, but when he is forward you can be pretty sure Modric aint going to cover properly in midfield!

What a strike by Modric, frightened the life out of the nipper roaring when that went in!

Sugarlumps

Did really well to hold off Bolton at 1-1 when they were having a good spell, I was convinced Davies was going to score from one of those corners. Gallas had my heart pumping a few times.

Good team performance, was impressed with Rafa’s. Congrats to Ade for netting two, I’ll still give him stick though.

No need to change the team around for Villa. Can’t see why we can’t put in the same performance against them? The Fulham game would have me more troubled than Villa.

It's not harsh, it's completely justified, Parker slows everthing down, there's no drive to his game, which would be fine in a 3 man midf, but not when we play 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2. What annoys me a lot about him is when he's drifting around the field looking for the ball when we have posession, then he gets the ball and he plays straight back to the player that gave it to him, then that player will try and give it to him again and he plays straight back, I mean why look for the ball if you don't want it, either sit back and act as cover or try and add some penetration, which, unfortunately, he is incapable of. His runs deep into the opposition half annoy me too, more often than he'll bomb down to the touchline, closer to the corner flag than the goal, and then either send in a poor cross/pass or just over run it completely and send it out for a goal kick.
It sounds as if I dislike him, but I really do like him, he was a central part of our team when we were high flying in the middle of the season, but he's gone off the boil big time the last 2 or so months, and it drives me mad watching him when we are on the attack. Despite that he certainly is one of the candidates for our player of the season.

I think Parker has been wrecked in recent weeks and his performances have dropped off as a result. Some of that is on Redknapp though as he could have played Sandro or indeed Livermore more earlier in the season to give Parker a break.

Sandro was very good again tonight. Loved him defending those successive corners against Kevin Davies. His height is actually an overlooked factor as we are not a big team in general.

yidweiser

First win at Bolton since 1996!
Sandro will be a force to reckon with next year.
Great attitude since he came to Spurs, something Modric could work on?
If he wants to go, I'd say, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"
May I add, well done Harry for getting the team focused again for the run in.
I can see us win against Villa and Fulham but only late on against Fulham.
I think West Brom will draw or beat Arsenal.
City should do Newcastle.
Swansea to draw with Utd.
City for the Title.
I hope City win it. Good side and a fair Manager in Mancini.
Take a seat Fergie, it's over!

Sugarlumps

Modric sat in a deep position for the game protecting the back four, but was still very influential. It worked a treat but looked a tad unsual?

ziedth

I really like Mancini so a small part of me is delighted for him particularly with how he stood his ground with the Tevez saga. BUT I don't like anyone buying the league I can't stand utd at the best of times so it's a big deal when I say I hope Newcastle Nick a draw on Sunday.

Anyway, if we do manage to get CL spot this season (hopefully 3rd) I agree with yidweiser that anyone looking for a transfer should be moved on for the highest price. I don't want anyone here next season not 100% focused on pushing us forward.

Eh? Did he not say that he'd never play for the club again? Without Tevez being brought back in to the fold I doub't they'd have caught Utd. Where's Dzeko these days?

ziedth

What I mean is he left him off to Argentina and I'd imagine would have left him rot out there. It was Telex made the move to come back. Now,.I would love him even more if he left him in the reserves when he came back and just sold him in the summer but like you said bringing him back into the first team may just have won city the league so he was right in the long run. I just think allot of clubs or managers would have backed down first.
