The race for second place.

[Cripps14]

What?

The point is (maybe it was not well enough outlined in previous post) - we had margin for error before. We used it already and now the pressure is higher because we do not have any more margin of error (or safety buffer, how ever you call it). So the situation has changed by now, as we are somewhat back-against-the-wall.

Yes, we have used up our margin of error, but to continue with your comparison of russian roulette, once you use that up, it's no longer in your hands, you have to pray for the gun to jam.

This is still very much in our hands. We win our games, we're fine.

We do not need to rely on Huddersfield. We are playing Newcastle and Leicester home, not RM and Barca.

As insightful as this was...
in our 2 games against Real this season we were unbeaten.
And in our 2 games against West Brom we are not. Soo.... yea

At this point, as a true Spurs fan, I am expecting a draw tonight and a loss against Leicester resulting in a 5th place finish. Especially as the Leicester game is going to be my daughters first game.

Which do you prefer in the next 2 matches, real and barca or newcastle and leicester?

Do you have friends?

He's obviously watched Spurs long enough to know what to expect......

In all honesty I feel like we have equal chances playing against Real Madrid and against a side like West Brom that sits back and is organised. Hopefully the barcodes won't be so organised.

I reckon one win will do it, Liverpool and Chelsea need to win 3/3 between them, one of them will slip up

If we don’t get at least 4th then I’m done with football till August. Fuck it all

Only a spurs newbie would expect us to easily win both games & not give us stress & anxiety.

Huddersfield repeating their feat at City would be lovely...all we would need is 2 points.

Called it...

 

[Super Jan Fan]

Southampton winning puts them in trouble such that Huddersfield could really do with getting something against Chelsea. They don't want to leave it till the last day of the season, lose while Swansea win and end up going down on goal difference. Bear in mind that Hudersfield's last game is Wenger's final game in charge of Woolwich, so a horrendous fixture for them. If they don't get at least a point against Chelsea I think they will go down. Swansea by the way play relegated Stoke in their last game.

It's nice to be right.

 

[mikes01666]

It makes Sunday a lot less stressful!

Nearly gnawed my own arm off this evening. Rank awful. Pochetino needs to look at this team and decide who will be there next season. Sissoko, Wanyama, Lamela, Llorente?

CL in the new stadium! It will be a long summer waiting.

Fucking love probabilities...

Nate Silver isn't always right- take a look at the last POTUS election, for example.
And to quote Mark Twain: "There's three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics!"

 

[Boltonspur]

2nd is still on ladies and gentlemen.


Not that I really care that much.
Would rather Harry bang in 5 and scoop the golden boot from under the hairy anti semite’s nose

Edit- before announcing his retirement from international football.

Not.gonna.happen.

I called this months ago







Newcastle and Leicester may have retired to the beach for everyone else but i guarantee Rat Face will suddenly be bang up for it again if it means they can spoil our party (no vodka, no charlie).

I believe lower is better in the def column haha

 

[mouse]

Still want to spank Leicester on Sunday, but over the moon that we don't NEED to.

BRB just ordering vodka and charlie.
