Their fixtures are definitely easier than ours. Mind you, some of our fixtures being tough will actually increase their nervousness further if we win them as they'll be expecting us to drop points. We only need them to drop points in two of those six games, potentially. I really think they are feeling the pressure and I agree the cup semi final is massively important. We have an opportunity to destroy their confidence at a key moment. Hopefully we won't just win, but we'll do it with some class.

We should talk about it but not expect it, one game at a time. Our next game is a semi against the pretenders. Lets have em we owe them big time. Revenge from all the shit last year.
Whats happened today is Chelsea have lost that comfort of a 7 point
lead, Its just 4 and we have the GD. They will need to take each game knowing no more slip ups, thats the pressure. They should be able to cope with the pressure. Lets hope we can now we have a genuine sniff.

This is fucking exciting
Agreed.
But a part of me also still just feels like some horrible cunt is holding a cupcake in front of me whilst I'm on a treadmill. Two losses in their last three games to give us hope, from 10 points to 7 and now 4 - it's the hope that kills you.
They looked incoherent going forward today. Their main plus was their ability to drop back in numbers to defend at 2 down.
No clean sheet in the last 10 according to MOTD.
Nah, we've got nothing to lose. If we finish 2nd its still a great season for us. If they blow it from here it will hurt them bad.
Which to me is why I don't need to build false hope for something that probably won't come off.
We are one point away from out best ever PL finish, which we'll get and exceed, and we'll finish top four, likely second. It's already almost certainly our best season in decades. I don't want false expectations because anything now is icing on the cake.
Haven't read the whole thread so apologies if already posted...
I reckon if we win all our remaining games (including the semi, which is v important for morale) we will do it. That will be 12 league victories in a row and I can't remember a side doing that and not winning the league. It would be very hard for the chavs then...they would only be able to drop points in one game...it would have to be an excellent end of season run from them under extreme pressure in order to win it. Obviously a massive ask for us to win all our games though.
They're still massive favourites but as of today we are properly in a title race for the second season in a row.

Think that would be 13 not 12, right? We've won the last 7 in the league and have 6 more left. That would equal Chelsea's winning run from earlier this season. We would have lost less games over the season though. Chelsea have lost as many as Liverpool now..The last two seasons the winner only lost 3 games (same as us and Utd currently).
"Poch; "Tottenham is not building now in an artificial way. It is not about putting in money, money, money, money and building a fantastic stadium and fantastic team.
“Tottenham is very genuine. It is a very natural process and it is so exciting because it is unique in the world.” Chelsea spent £120 million players last summer, while Spurs splashed out only £48m."

Indeed, and just before that we could have overtaken them if we'd beaten West Ham at Upton Park.
Urgh, I tried to drink those memories away.
Southampton are no mugs. Can you imagine if they got something off of Chelsea next Tuesday, and what Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace would then be like...?
Positivity post:
2011/2012 - Man City were 5 points behind Man Utd at the same game week. They went on to win the league on goal difference.
That is however, the only time in the Premier League's history that a league difference higher than Chelsea/Tottenham of this season has ever been overcome. Point being that even the great Sir Alex Ferguson can have his team lose focus.
Man Utd then lost to Wigan (A), drew with Everton (H), lost to Man City (A) whilst Man City won every single won of their fixtures.

We already are.
I mean as far as the league is concerned - not our own wretched milestones. (Satisfying as that might be).
It's coming. Just not necessarily this year.
That Manchester derby was what clinched it, though. Fergie went all out to not get beat and City found a way through.
If only we had a league match against Chelsea to catch them. We'll just have to settle for kicking the shite out of them on Saturday.
Well said sir. Keep it up.
