Reckon Brighton or Forest go down.

Fancy Forrest to go, got those Europa playoffs to stretch them.
And looking at their fixtures it's hard to see were they get 3 points apart from maybe Burnley .
Brighton could get really deep in it too

Exciting stuff, who wants battles for cl qualification when you have this :pochcry:

It's between us, Palace, Brighton, Forest, Leeds and West Ham.

I'd say (in order of most likely to go down).

1. Forest
2. West Ham
3. Very little between the others. Spurs perhaps just 3rd most likely.

With Frank gone, the situation is completely different. I don't think we'd have gone down anyway, but I definitely think we stay up now.

Either West Ham or Forest will be relegated.

I expect us to be unrecognisable under Tudor. The days of watching us cowering in sterile, unadventurous, timid, toothless play will, hopefully, be a distant memory by the time we play Fulham. Woolwich may come too soon for Tudor's real impact, but I think we'll get 7-9 points from the next 5 games after that one. Tudor will get gone come Summer, but the stink of Frank's tenure will be gone too.

Good to hear some positivity, Cheers!

Yes, recent results look more positive for West Ham, I can grant you that. But let’s not start fawning over them like they’ve suddenly turned into world beaters. A short uptick in form isn’t proof of anything unless it’s sustained.

If they do keep it going, then fair play, they acted decisively in January while our owners didn’t. But we’ve now also made changes, so the only honest answer is to wait and see how it actually plays out on the pitch rather than declaring the story finished in February.

I hope they go.
The only reason to hope they don't is if sends Forest and Mad Marinakis down.
 
Go down. It’s Panini

Stay up. It’s Topps

To be honest Panini always do better stickers, the EFL 2026 badge for Bristol Rovers is majestic.

See, always a silver lining.

Tottenham face ‘catastrophic’ cost of relegation and no European football

Exclusive: Commercial partners are already reviewing contracts with club, whose failure to secure sponsor for stadium could prove crippling
www.telegraph.co.uk www.telegraph.co.uk

A sober read for the people that say that relegation is a good thing long term.

Those that think that probably assume it would force ENIC to sell.

Tbh, near relegation might be the scare that is needed.

I've said it in other threads but this entire fracas is either going to lead to a sale. Or to ENIC realising that they need to be more present as owners, or employ competent people to be that for them.

We also need major investment - they need to pump in 1/3 to 1/2 billion this summer. Compared to what a Chelsea’s owners paid for the club, and then invested in players, it’s still trivial
 
This squad, on the wages we’re paying, shouldn’t be anywhere near a relegation fight - regardless of the manager. The lack of professional integrity is mind-blowing.

So how many managers have to go before people start que'stioning the players/squad?
 
I studied with this gooner 25 years ago - the $%*% sent me a WhatsApp out the blue this weekend as he got my number from a mutual friend saying he's giving up football this season after Woolwich do the quadruple and we get relegated, "football completed"...25 years...

You’re cherry-picking the exact run of games that suits your point and calling it objective maths. Why five games? We’ve got twelve left, so why not use the last twelve? Because that framing doesn’t help the argument.

Also, if 0.8 ppg vs 0.5ppg since start of the year is your idea of “pissing all over,” then we’re clearly working with different definitions.

I think we are working on different wave lengths - I’m confident they win this weekend and we don’t and the gap becomes 2 or 3 points - that will be 10 or 11 points they will have made on us in 7 weeks. People are not factoring in momentum at all for some reason
 
Beni said:
You’ve just conceded the key point without noticing. Form changes. Exactly.

So a new manager, a reset in mentality, and a tweak in approach can shift momentum back the other way.

And no one said we’d win the league off the first 10–12 games. That’s just exaggeration and would only been a talking point if still top with 10-12 games left of the season, we still had 28. Big difference. I only showed the form as a guide to our existing direction of travel, and even if we simply carried on that same trajectory, we’d likely be fine anyway.

I’m simply trying to find a positive rather than just accepting the doom and gloom of declaring us relegated when we’re clearly not. New manager, mental reset, proof we can take points when it clicks.

In a relegation fight, that’s a positive.

But West Ham have shown that in abundance in the last 5 games whilst we have found a remarkable ability to concede goals and throw points away.

What games are you confident we win between now and the end of the season because I think there’s only 8 we can get anything from - we will lose to Woolwich, Chelsea, Liverpool, Villa, I’m sure of it. Wolves are a bogey side, Sunderland are strong at home. The other 6 we’ve a chance in but I’m not confident we will win any of them - and form tells us we won’t win more than 2 between now and the end of the season

Who exactly is not questioning this squad? I don’t think I know a single Spurs fan who thinks this squad is good enough, Romero a good captain, Vic an undisputed number one and the strikers adequately replacing Kane and Son.

We all know the squad is shit, the problem is we keep panic buying more shit to plug holes - dragusin, Werner, Muani, Kinsky.

The real problem is the club is run like a circus
