Competition Is this the start of a relegation battle?

I think it is - no way would Chavs and Leicester keep winning for the next 26 games
All teams will drop points - we just need a solid run of 4-5 consecutive wins to build up some momentum and most importantly - confidence
New poll incoming...
A solid run of 4-5 wins.... optimistic, considering our last 5 games we haven't won once and that consisted of playing Brighton, Watford, Everton and Sheffield United.
We still have to play West Ham, Bournemouth, Man U, Burnley, Wolves and Chelsea before Christmas and with what I have seen so far I can't see more than 2 wins from that, would like to be wrong but just being realistic. We are in trouble.
Have you watched Leicester or Chelsea recently?
It's utter madness to suggest Leicester & Chelsea will slip away, while their performances suggest the opposite, while expecting us to win 4 or 5 in a row, when our performances indicate we couldn't win against a five-a-side team.
What fucking planet are some of you on.
You’re right - Chavs and Leicester will win 26 games in a row
Relegation? Na, there is definitely 3 clubs worse than us....I think 
With both Chavs and Leicester enjoying a 12 point cushion over us, 22 wins out of 26 should suffice. And that’s assuming we win all 26 of our remaining games.
Not necessarily 26 in a row. But they look good and solid enough for a top 4 finish ...unlike some other team ...
I get that, as I said its abysmal and shit needs to change. But we aren't getting relegated, that's an exaggeration that I think distracts from the point. This isn't acceptable, period.
To the last bit, suppose we win the FA Cup whilst finishing 7th. Does Poch stay? Does he deserve to? Is this season a "success" then? I'd say certainly not.
Get where you're coming from Arty. Having a bit of a hard time myself with one thing and another, and it's daft expecting Spurs to "make it all better", at the moment it's the complete opposite!
Hope things get better for your friend x
I think he's doomed to be honest, he's had breathing problems for ages and just will not stop smoking....you haven't lived until you've seen a guy with an oxygen tank lighting up a fag...mind you he is a Chelsea fan...
I think Top 4 is going to be an incredible stretch at this point. We have dropped so many points at home to sides that are in the bottom half that I think we're going to struggle to pick up enough points to challenge for top 4. Mind you, I think playing the EL is pointless, wouldn't mind seeing us in 8th and get a Europe free season in 20-21. I don't think we are going to get relegated, our players will have an uptick in form at some point and steer us well clear of it.
Missing top 4 is not the end of the world
I don't think we're too good to go down but we'll be saved by the amount of dross in the league.
I'd be absolutely gobsmacked if we get top 4 though. Been to four matches so far and seen the rest on TV and there is nothing that makes me think we'll get anywhere near it. We are bereft of confidence, playing badly and look disjointed. Where is the massive uptick coming from? I can't see it.

I agree - better to miss Europa* entirely and totally rejig the squad.
Europa not Europe - not some Brexit joke, FYI,
We'll finish 7-8th and win the Champions League.
Relegation isn't a threat at all.

I thought we would beat Sheffield United. So two points dropped there. And by the sounds of it lucky to get a win.
A lot resting on Kane’s shoulders now. Or Son. Sure as fuck not Winks and Sissoko to weigh in with some goals.
But we need goals. As we can’t defend for shit.
