No it wouldn't I dont support ENIC. I support Tottenham Hotspur. I cant keep repeating this. The fans who have been sucked to giving a flying fuck about amortisation of contracts and the share price of offshore holding companies frankly baffle me. The men who own our club have amassed wealth beyond the dreams of Cresus. They could finance the club without any of the revenue you talk about they choose not to. It means they DON'T care so I DON'T care about them and there balance sheets. I will follow Spurs in the conference south and I'll be filled with joy when they win and desolate when they loose that's the football bit I care about.

Yeah but more money=more investment into the squad. Not always the case but we know for sure it'll be an excuse for not spending if we miss out on Europe. Also the best players want to play in the top European competitions (mainly CL, but I think the prospect of winning silverware under Mourinho still has its draw).
No no it dont mate have you not been watching. Two windows no spending at a time of record profits. It's like Levy used that men in black pen on the fan base.
Chelsea home to Norwich tomorrow...
Very true
Hoping L'pool might actually try against them to chase a record (ditto beating Woolwich/Plumstead) and Wolves might do them though...
A bit like us cheering Sheff u against chavs has probably cost us 7th?
Shows you how the details make a difference.
We should have beaten Manchester United. BS penalty. Alternatively, someone left Pogba unmarked. + 2 points for us, - 1 for Man U
We should have beaten Bournemouth. A little fitter, a little more concentration, a little more determination, would have given us a win. +2 for us.
We bottled against Woolwich at the start of the season. Blew a 2-0 lead in the second half. Lack of concentration and commitment cost us 2 points.
Would put us at 58 points and ManU at 58. Tied, but ManU ahead on goal difference. We have Leicester coming up. They are in a free fall.
We would be in a position to make CL if we had handled the details! It’s not just about talent. Determination, concentration, details make a big difference!
For sure I'd rather Leicester miss out on CL. United and Chelsea are already high profile clubs with unlimited money, they'll be successful with or without CL. We don't need Leicester creeping up and solidifying in the top 6, especially with that fooking deluded egghead manager Rodgers.
True, but I want nine points cheers!
Just saying that if we did mess it up I can think of worse outcomes than denying that lot.
Out of those clubs when we have played them - a massive 5 points out of a possible 21........ let’s hope we beat Leicester to make it 8 out of 24. So far we have only beaten wolves. Sums up our season.
But.....
Apart from Sheff Utd away game never more than a goal in these games.
Winning in games against Sheffield United, man united, wolves and Leicester turned a possible 12 points turned into 1!!
Give us 11 points take a few points of each team we are sitting pretty in 4th........Small margins.
Sorry I have to disagree, clubs still have to abide by FFP it’s just those that chose not to get hit with a huge fine, it makes total sense! :mourfacepalm:
With Sheffield United due to play Leicester and us still to play Leicester, a win in our next two games will either see us leapfrog Sheffield United (win next one without them winning against the foxes) or be 1 point behind Leicester going into the final day games where we play Palace and they will have to go up against Man U.
The Sheffield United vs Leicester game is a very intriguing one as it either keeps the Blades nodding their noses ahead of us or makes the Leicester home game we have against them one where we could genuinely overtake them last game.
With goal difference squeezing up a fair old bit, we could really do with a win by a few of goals sometime soon as well for a little insurance.

I can see us beating out Sheff or Wolves if we win our remaining games.
Getting above Leicester or Utd is gonna require a collapse from them and is not worth hoping for imo.
I know Europa League is a drag to some but it'd still be good for the club to have for prestige and transfer reasons.

Both United and Leicester need 2 points from 3 games to make 61 points.
The most we can get is 61 points and both the above have a vastly superior GD.
Our "advantage" is we play before them so a win v Newcastle just might set nerves a-tingling
Desperately need Wolves and Sheffield to drop some points whilst we really need all 9 from these last three. Have to hope the Blades lose against Leicester and draw with Everton (55pts) , Wolves draw with Burnley but beat Palace (59pts). We beat Newcastle and Leicester (58pts).
Then we go into the last games of the season. Wolves lose at Chelsea (still 59) Sheffield draw at S'ton (56) or win (58) and we do the business at Palace for 61pts and finish in sixth spot. Maintain our top six record and according to this link we qualify for the Europa League.
