Would take this over Conte constantly saying every other club has a right to beat us.
Fuck the underdog mentality for this club. Ange talks it up because he’s not scared of the pressure. I’m here for it
They are playing the German champions elect, mate.Are you Daniel levy?? If so makes sense that Europa League quarter final is not much to play for is it.

I'm not sure this is totally true
Not sure we'd be 'sunk' without Son.

It's hilarious. Based on most media commentary we likely deserved about 3 points in total this season.
Do something enough and it's not a fluke
Do any other team get called out for having good players like its a bad thing?
"Well Tottenham wouldn't as good if you took out their best players" No shit!
Anyone with any knowledge of this season would know that playing Luton is not a routine win. They are in every game. Usually blow up in last ten minutes but they really give it a go.
We had stacks of chances which doesn’t normally happen.
Plus I don’t think spurs fans would say Son has been our best player. Vicario and VDV , Porro would all be higher.

So for fun I built a Monte Carlo simulation of the rest of the season, with purely random results (33.33% win, loss, draw) for every game regardless of ability, ie throw the form guide out the window.
Assumed no further FFP points deductions or successful appeals.
Results after 100,000 simulations:
Probability of finishing top 7: 99.9% ie not safe yet!!!
Probability of finishing top 10: 100%. While each team from 10th through 14th can catch us in theory, they can't all catch us because they have to play each other.
Probability of finishing above Woolwich: 4.4%
Probability of finishing above Citeh 6.2%
Probability of finishing below United: 5.4%
Probability of finishing below Chelsea: 0.4%
Probability of finishing top 5: 93.5%
Probability of finishing top 4: 39.1%
Probability of finishing top 3: 7.8%
Probability of finishing top 2: 2.1%
Probability of Spurs finishing first: 0.4%
COYS!

So tried a more realistic (but still random) simulation based on each team's average home/away goals scored/conceded per game so far this season. For example for tonight's WH-Spurs clash this approach predicts 39% win for Spurs, 28% draw and 33% win for WH. Which for such a simple model is surprising close to the Opta supercomputer prediction (39.9 / 27.4 / 32.7%)

We battered them as well. Flukey rebound and a bad back pass threw it away. That Coufal is crap. Need to get at him Timo.
You haven't been paying attention, they're the sort of matches we relish because they will give us space to play:

How I use Stathead FBref
I am proud to announce I am an FBref Brand Ambassador! Tottenham have averaged 0.64 fewer goals when they have more than 70% possession compared to when they have less than 55% possession. Here I explain how I used Stathead to gather that FBref data.

Newcastle defence is wide open. Dummett is back playing. 2 centre backs out. Chelsea not up to much. We thrive in matches against teams who attack us.
