I'm not expecting to beat United, but stranger things have happened in football. Every game is a game closer to getting Son and Kane back. If we stay in touch we could put a run of 3 or 4 wins together with our key players back at the end of the season. As I say, a big if but still within the realms of possibility.

I think the only thing we need to focus on now is finishing above Woolwich. Can’t end up below those pricks. They’re terrible.
That’s a big over reaction, it’s one season
We’re out. And I‘m not optimistic about next season either.
Did you flounce away from your keyboard after you typed that or did you stick around to spam the disagree button on my posts? :carrollwtf:
It’s where we came from and it’s where we will end up. Those that have been fretting, melting, worrying for some time about the direction of the club were doing so because we could all feel the unique opportunity slipping from our grasp. Collectively - ENIC/Levy; Pochettino; the players - put this club back on the map and within touching distance of a trophy/trophies and a dynasty (with the stadium etc). Any combination of those same individuals (plus now Jose) have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and put us back where we came from. It’s not an overreaction to state that.
Need a few new players and less awful injuries then I cant see why we cant get back to competing with the big boys..of which we once were.
Why are people saying we are done? Beat them at home next Sunday and we are a point behind the favourite for 5th place
Because on form alone it's looking a tough ask. The mood in the two clubs couldn't be further apart after their result against City. Impossible? Never, but it's no better than a punchers chance as it stands.
Granted a lot needs to be done and has done for years but we won’t go back to being a team like we were in the 90s. I just can’t see it. Although obviously the possibility is always there.
Because we are not beating them mate. We don’t have the fire power, we have nothing upfront. Our defence are not good enough and they have suddenly got a new lease of life since signing Bruno from Sporting, which goes to show how piss poor most of out signings have been. We are not good enough right now mate, it’s as simple as that. When we beat City, we had Son. We have zero threat upfront, season is over mate.
Got to beat them next week but if we do and we get lucky with an early return for Sonny or Kane then we will be in the mix. Big ask yes but achievable.
Yet we recruited better when outside the champions league.
Besides there’s a lot of candidates to sell....not so much money to come in from them though I fear.
I hope you are right and I’m wrong
Not good enough at the moment yes but next weeks game is next weeks game. To be a supporter and to write us off so flippantly before a ball has even been kicked I'll honestly never understand. We are supporters aren't we?
Spurs consistently let us down every single season dude, why do you think most of us are pessimistic ? I went to the stadium for the CL final and had a fantastic day, but deep down in my head I knew Spurs would let us down. It only took a 4 min Sissoko handball. It’s just what Spurs do mate. Plus we need to be realistic, we are simply not good enough without Kane / Son and it bloody shows.
It’s not flippancy. So many of us have committed time, money and emotion (& will continue to do so I might add) over the years but even idiots learn and we’ve learnt not to trust our team to deliver
