European football hasn't stopped Forest picking up points, and it won't stop villa.
That's the excuses used by some Tottenham fans when they lose games, we had a big game before hand so took our foot off the pedal.

The panel will say it should have been a pen. Terribly sorry.
Same as Brobbey. Sorry we were wrong.
Yet everyone told me we were turning the corner on the performances after Brighton. Football doesn’t work like that.
West Ham look like they have more fight, quality, and luck on their side
I don’t think Wham have better fixtures
They’re tied in for 3rd at the minute but the Europa would be their best. bet re champions league Forrest, Freiburg or Braga stand in their way they could rest players or certainly some wouldn’t want to get injured we go at them 100% then ?
We just need a busty young enthusiastic ITU nurse to join the team and inspire us by plumping our pillows and pinching our grapes when no-one’s looking. We’ll be out of bed and taking big lungfuls in no time .
( Apologies in advance etc ) .
1 and 3 agree, but not sure about quality. Watched their Monday game away to Crystal Palace, and all I could think of was how did we fall behind this dross
Their forward line with Bowen and Summerville looks waaay above ours
FTFY.
Anyone still thinking, after seeing that handball not get overturned, that there is no corruption in this league, is deluding themselves, IMO.
That's not to say it's necessarily aimed purely at us. There's huge amounts of money bet on football matches, and that's almost certainly the biggest factor influencing these nonsensical decisions, rather than any bias against Spurs.
It's just we often feature in the higher profile games, so there's probably more money to me made in the betting markets, by punishing us, than there is for other teams.
It's the hope that kills you, brother. But then it's also reality that hits you harder than a freight train after your 30 mins into the game and you re-realise just how utter toothlessly shit we are.
Muani AND Solanke are hopelessly shit. Both utter journeyman who will do nothing with the ball unless it's served to them on a plate on front of goal.
Yep, agreed.It's the hope that kills you, brother. But then it's also reality that hits you harder than a freight train after your 30 mins into the game and you re-realise just how utter toothlessly shit we are.
Are Villa beatable at home? Absolutely.
Is the team to beat Villa at home this current Spurs side? Not a chance. We barely created a thing against fucking Wolves and they were utter shit today. Our attack is beyond repair and now we've lost Xavi as well. The lack of quality in attacking areas is just not something we can 'battle' our way out of. Either you have the quality or you don't, and we certainly don't.
And Richalison.
I wish I could disagree, I really do. Bar an utter miracle, we're going down. It's etched all over Vinai's face. He knows it, we know it.
Oh to be a spurs fan right now.
i ask grok
what do you think will tottenham stay in the premier league ?
Tottenham are in serious danger of relegation this season (2025/26), and right now I'd say their chances of staying in the Premier League are probably around 40-45% at best. It's a shocking situation for a club that's been a regular top-half (and often European) side for years.
This is historically bad for Spurs — the first time in decades they've been in the relegation zone this late in a season.
It's going to be tight with only a handful of games left. Their remaining fixtures include some tough ones (e.g. trips to Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton), plus a few more winnable ones. A couple of wins could see them leapfrog West Ham, especially if the Hammers slip up.
My honest take:
If you're a Spurs fan, it's proper nervous time. The club has the resources to bounce back from the Championship (they'd be one of the strongest sides there), but dropping out would be a massive humiliation and financial hit. What do you reckon — do you think they'll survive, or is it curtains?

Current situation (as of late April 2026)
- Tottenham sit 18th in the table with 34 points from 34 games (roughly 8 wins, 10 draws, 16 losses).
- They're 2 points behind 17th-placed West Ham (36 points), while Leeds (40) and Nottingham Forest (39) look relatively safer.
- Wolves and Burnley are already down, so only one more spot remains.
- They've been winless in the league throughout 2026 until a very recent 1-0 win over already-relegated Wolves — their first victory of the calendar year. That snapped a horrible run (something like 0 wins in 14+ games before), but it wasn't enough to lift them out of the drop zone.
This is historically bad for Spurs — the first time in decades they've been in the relegation zone this late in a season.
Why it's gone so wrong
- Managerial chaos: They've chopped and changed bosses mid-season (Thomas Frank → Igor Tudor as interim → Roberto De Zerbi in late March). De Zerbi is a good coach with an attacking style, but he's had very little time to implement anything, and results haven't turned around quickly.
- Dreadful form: Almost no wins in 2026, poor goal difference, and injuries hitting key players (e.g. recent mentions of Solanke and others).
- They've dropped from being a non-factor in the relegation talk to being the favourites for the drop in betting markets (often around 8/11 or -140 odds) and models like Opta giving them ~55-60% chance of going down.
Will they stay up?
It's going to be tight with only a handful of games left. Their remaining fixtures include some tough ones (e.g. trips to Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton), plus a few more winnable ones. A couple of wins could see them leapfrog West Ham, especially if the Hammers slip up.
My honest take:
- They have the squad quality on paper to stay up — better than most of the bottom sides in normal circumstances.
- But momentum, confidence, and the table position are against them. Relegation battles are often decided by mentality and grinding out results, and Spurs have looked fragile for months.
- I'd lean towards them going down (maybe 55-60% likelihood), but football is chaotic — one good run or a rival collapsing and they could scrape 17th. De Zerbi might spark something, and that Wolves win could be a psychological boost.
