Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
we have 7 days between each game to go oscillate between flights of fancy and despair.The last time iw as obsessing with result permutations was under the redknapp era.
I know, I think I've read just about every Tottenham article on the internet after last night to prolong the buzz!
Now I have calmed down I take your point. Still think refs need to be consistent and only then will the message get across. At the moment we are both where we deserve to be on merit and come the end whoever wins will deserve it.
I congratulate you on playing top class football and giving it one heck of a challenge. If we are truly deserving of the title we will hold on and if not we won't but either way we won't bottle it. It will be the best team who wins it. TYo say we will bottle it takes away your achievement should you win it. When Seb Coe closed in on Ovett in the 80's on the home straight to take gold no one said Ovett bottled it - it was just Seb was better and should you over take us then the same can be said about Spurs - just better than Leicester.
If we hold on then we will be better.
Middle distance running and football are not comparable.
If you lose a 8 point lead in the final 5 games, it's a bottle.
Both teams deserve to win the League, unfortunately, only one can.

If you came on here, hoping for some enlightened, bias free football discussion with your 'fellow football supporter' well then my friend...
This place is as partisan as they come, and I fucking love it for it.
Try COYS (full of cockwombles who will lick your arse then ban you for life for using the word 'bullshit''.
For an almost in between COYS and TFC experience, try spurs community. Again full of cockwombles and the mods are power hungry but not QUITE as trigger happy on the ban button, and they do pretend to like outsiders.

Bottom line is since a wonderful first 2/3rds of season Leicester are now under microscope in media and have been found out
Every time Leicester have been on TV the last 6 weeks there is always hours of media discussion afterwards for wrong reasons. Be it the repeated handball issue, referees, corners wrestling, diving for penalties, this is what happens at Leicester every week while the fans hit the cardboard and can't believe they are top.
After our games they are replaying goals, dream passes, movement, celebrations, there is no controversy, no reliance on pushing the rules.
Leicester may still win but their fairy tale has more ugly stepsisters than Cinderellas

If we take 8 points from those last 5 games and you take 15 and win on GD that is not bottle. Title teams will often have a spell with 2 wins, 2 draws and loss in a 5 game spell especially with tough fixtures. It clearly isn't bottle if that happens but unbelievable finish by the team winning several on the bounce.
Have Leicester surrendered yet?
Vardy's scouse goal, Mahrez at Man City to name but a few. Only dive for a penalty was last week, all the others were genuine. If you can pick one out that wasn't feel free to state it because I can't.
Sorry, Dad
Why can't we have a multi option for like, agree and funny? Because I want to do all three on this bad boy!!
I have nothing against you Bluedog, you seem more reasonable than the other Leicester fans that have come on here, but come on...the referee actually gifted you a point which you did not deserve. You should be thanking him as that point could be important to you, not saying he took the title away from you. The facts, as far as anyone other than Leicester fans are concerned, is that the referee rightly sent Vardy off and that the pen he gave you at the end was not a pen at all - he robbed West Ham. I know its hard to see past the frustration of having dropped points and lost your striker but you were not robbed by the ref or the FA, that's utter bullshit.
It remains your title to lose and will be that way until we are ahead of you on points. If that happens then the pressure will be on us and will be immense. I know Leicester fans hope that we will feel the pressure but the truth is, as you can see in the way we are playing, we are not under any pressure at all. We have nothing to lose; we have not been singing that we are going to win the league before we've done it, so there will be no shame if we don't do it. If we don't do it then no one will say we bottled it, they will say we pushed you close and played well but you were ten ahead at one point and no one expected us to catch up. Well, now it is half that, just five points. But still five points. We will just go on and win it next season if we don't catch you this season. We are playing free, and have momentum, we will just keep on winning our games without any pressure. The pressure, the entirety of it, is on Leicester City. Can you win three of the last four? Fuck this up and your fans have to eat humble pie and everyone will know your team bottled it. Lets see if you are as good as Leicester fans seem to believe. I think neutrals have lost belief in the fairytale and are starting to see that you are good but nowhere near as good as us.
I cannot wait until your game, I am just excited to see your players nervy performance and see what happens, and then I wont be able to wait until Monday for our next three points. I cannot wait. In comparison, Leicester fans seem like a bag of nerves, already making up excuses for why they let the title slip away.
Surrendering an 8 point lead in the final 5 games is a bottle. This isn't negotiable.
Good post. I am sure like us you are trying to cope with the wait each week. Hence the forums take up our time. Foxes Talk is the worst for mods. Last year you couldn't breath a word against Pearson without being banned. Mods run the forums and if you disagree with their view they ban you. This forum is by far the best I have been on.oldschool
