Not sure why people think this is a problem we can buy our way out of. Players take a while to settle under Poch, and there is no player that we can or would buy in January that is going to make a significant impact in the last 14 league games.

The team we have now needs to be healthy and in form. If that happens we will be in the top 4.

Of course we could buy someone that would make some impact for top 4.
We just won't as there is not the will.
 
We will finish in the top four, end of. I believe we will hit a run of form and the others will wobble. Chelsea, apart from yesterday, look like a shadow of their former selves. Lollerpool have just lost their best player and Man Utd are hardly tearing up the league - they sneaked a win at Burnley ffs. Stand firm, fellow yids, for this is our time.
 
We should be looking at our next few games as a chance to take points off our rivals. Rather than hoping the likes of Burnley and Swansea do us a favour, for the next few weeks it's in our hands.
 
It's not a great run.. But it's still the same 38 games per season and I believe our second half of this season has been identified as being more favourable

Top 4 in a season away from our home would be a fantastic achievement. We'll be fine

As for hitting a run of form, we currently the most inform team in the league, even after todays draw. (a win for Liverpool tomorrow will see them two points better on current form).

This is my thinking to, 4h place gets us CL next year, but so does winning the CL, we are a fucking huge club, with a prestigious history! Let's start fucking acting like it! CL and FA cup are both winnable! To dare is to do! :tobyarm:

Im sick of Spurs fans acting like the whole season is done after todays draw. Im not saying its going to be a cake walk, or that we played even remotely well, but with TA/CE/HL all healthy I don't see any reason why we couldn't finish top 4/win some silverware.
