The difference here is that we’re sort of on a hiding to nothing with a bit of a free hit. When Conte took over the prospect of Top 4 was looking very distant and now the players have a bit of momentum. We’ve been steadily catching and overtaking the others and Woolwich are feeling what we often feel - the pressure of having the advantage. Keep matching or bettering their results and they’ll bottle it, I reckon.There is a big opportunity for us now but I’m not getting carried away, this is the type of situation where our players normally shit the bed. They find it very difficult to hold their nerve when top 4 is in our hands.
A lot also depends on the way our opponents play. Newcastle played suicidal football in the second half but in the first 45 they had the game under control. Just like Burnley we could not reach their goalkeeper. We’ve shown that we can make mincemeat of any opponent who leaves space for Kane and Son, but surely teams will recognise that and start playing more compact football. It’s the only way to beat us. Even City lost twice against us with their high line. That is where the real challenge for us will come.
We can't afford any injuries.
Is anyone close to a suspension from totting up?
We currently look like a well oiled machine, but there's a few players now that we simply can't afford to lose.
I believe if Romero gets 2 yellows in the next 2 games he would get a 2 game ban ( Brentford and Leicester) for reaching 10 yellowsWe can't afford any injuries.

I thought there was a point where that stopped and it went back to 1 game for 5 bookings?I believe if Romeo gets 2 yellows in the next 2 games he would get a 2 game ban ( Brentford and Leicester) for reaching 10 yellows
I think it’s 5 in the 1st 19 gets a 1 game ban and 10 in 32 gets a 2 game banI thought there was a point where that stopped and it went back to 1 game for 5 bookings?
Edit: derr that's why you said in the next 2 game
Brighton is at home
Skipp could be back next weekendconfidence is sky high at the minute. don't fear any side with this current 11. however one injury to either kane, PEH, bentancur or romero and shit could come crashing down unfortunately. i actually think the midfield duo staying fit is our most important factor.
actually looking forward to the liverpool game to see how we fare with a real big test.
well thats handy that if one of them two get injured we wont see winks stepping in.Skipp could be back next weekend

Let's see what happens this weekend..Let's talk about the Anfield game when we will get there. First of all we have Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford and Leicester games coming up. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Can we update the title to “the race for third” please?
