The thing is we are worst we have ever been so getting a point in Anfield seems almost impossible at this point.

If this horror show continues in this fashion they might be within touching distance of us when we play them. Utterly crucial we haul ourselves over 30 pts with a win over Palace on Thursday or we are starting to look fucking knackered.
Without a doubt ! ; I’ve already justified this . Please see above.
The very fact that this post ( see above) exists is a reason for reasonable supporters ( aka funders)
to start asking “ why this is happening” ?
How unreasonable a question is that ?
Seriously.
I think its highly unlikely we get relegated. We are proper dog shit. But cant see both of Spam and Forest picking up more points.
Thing is- weird stuff happens at the end of the season when some of the teams and players stop having anything to play for and are less motivated. We don't want to be depending on our opponents performance as much as possible going into the end of the season.
If Leicester can do it….
I just don't know anymore. I look at the players of all the teams around us and the difference is that I could see the players from Wolves, West Ham, Forest and Leeds etc celebrating staying up.
I couldn't see our players doing the same, they just don't care anymore, I can't actually name one player that I truly believe wants to play for Spurs anymore. They've lost all faith in the board, don't give a shit that Tudor is there, have lost all connection with the fan base, I guarantee they're all looking at what moves they could make in the summer.
At this stage of the game, it's about mentality as much as skill or even fixtures as Wolves have shown.
I think our players have checked out now, if we avoid relegation it'll be by pure chance rather than by pure fight.
If we do stay up, the problem is who do we keep? Who actually wants to play for a club with an inept board, toxic fan base and no manager.
I also think that Sherwood (or any decent manager) would be able to get us 2/3 wins but I want neither back.
The problem lies higher up in the hierarchy.
Who’s ready to hate watch NF and WHU tomorrow on a split screen?!
More exciting than our own matches.
More exciting than our own matches.
That's ironic, because I've given up too. Until ENIC have gone that is. Dont care if we are relegated or not.
I'll probably watch Fulham v Wham & keep an eye on the Forest game. I don't expect Forest to get anything from City.
This is my worry come this summer, even if we stay in the Premier league.
Remember when we had to go to like 9th choice to get Nuno? I can see it being even worse this time. Most the footballing world can see what a shitshow we've become, some of the best managers in the world have come here and failed, average managers don't even get a season. Why would anyone want to sign up for that?
We'll end up getting an average manager, the players won't sign up for it, and the cycle continues.
Very very unpopular opinion, but I don't believe Levy was the enemy, I think he did the best he could under ENICs constraints, then last summer they'd had enough and pushed him out.
That line in his video with Gary Neville resonates with me now, about how 'maybe he'll be celebrated once he's gone', because now we don't seem to have anyone behind the scenes at all who gives a shit about the footballing side of operations.
Reckon Poch will come if we do survive. And money talks - Villa were an unappealing shitshow a few years ago and near the bottom of the table yet they were able to persuade Emre to join them. Awful teams in the PL are still often able to attract fairly decent managers given the money thrown around in the league. Palace were a mess and got Glasner and Fulham got Silva when they were in the Championship.
We clearly won't be competing for the best managers of course, but I think with our budget we'll always have options. Think the issue is more around the clowns in charge choosing the right manager and new sporting director. That worries me far more.
On the topic of relegation I'm fully going off the deep end. I'm beyond depression, anger, bargaining and denial and entering the acceptance phase.
I enjoy novelty and if Spurs aren't gonna win anything soon and be fucking shit in the PL, maybe a year (and please let it only be a year) in the Champ as a kind of reset would be fun from a fan perspective. Loads of old Spurs fans say the year in Division 2 was the most fun they ever had and I reckon if we can get straight back up it could end up being a really memorable, insane year that we'd look back on fondly.
For the club as a whole it would be a fucking disaster and bad on every level, but as a jaded fan who is growing utterly sick of watching this pathetic excuse for a team week after week, I'm starting to come to terms with it and hopeful it would make me actually enjoy watching Spurs again.
Get Moore, Vuskovic and some of the other loanees back, sell all the cunts that hate playing for us, get a manager that will play fun, attacking football like the guy from Boro (or Poch if he'll step down). Proper rebuild shit with a core of young players that actually want to play for Spurs.

No longer living in London it’s much easier for me to accept relegation. I would absolutely hate it for the match going fans and people who are intimately involved with day-to-day banter from other fans. Not sure I could go to work the day after relegation to be quite honest
But aside from them, everyone at this empty husk of a club deserves relegation. I truly do mean everyone, from ownership, board, corporate execs, Lange, Vinai, everyone involved with the footballing operation from staff to players all deserve it. Absolute shitters who have run this club into the ground with their lifelessness.
If us and West Ham don’t win this week then the bottom 6 are getting cut adrift.

The problem is I don't think any of them give a shit. The board would care from a financial perspective, but from a footballing viewpoint, I'm not sure.
Lange, Vinai, Tudor, Romero, VDV, Porro, etc, they'll all fuck off and get multi million pound contracts elsewhere and it'll be the fans picking up the pieces. I'm not seeing one ounce of passion from any of them.
Tudor seems like a massive error, Redkapp and Sherwood together would have at least got some passion into the squad, a desire to fight for the badge. At the moment what are any of them fighting for though? They don't seem to care, they're just sleepwalking to the end of the season, hoping it all works out without them having to put any effort in.
