Shinji-San Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 If you were Pelligrini, would you, on a personal level want to qualify for CL? Not sure I would, unprofessional as it sounds.
Corky Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 Spurs are a good side, they will win games. As long as we win ours the gap doesn't change negatively. We are holding our nerve at the moment.
fuchsntf Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 they singing "Leicester City were coming for you" 2 things...#Spurs have the obligation, they should be playing the better football.Their squad cost. # look at the table..5pts. # Go to Liverpool, force a win ,good luck. SPURS still have to get it. # We draw 2 , Spurs still need to win 2 # We match any Spurs result , it stays still 5 points.
Benguin Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 If that has genuinely happened they need to be relegated with immediate effect. Talk about tinpot mentality. Disagree completely. At games there needs to be a good banter between fans, that's what makes the atmosphere. For a team 3-0 down to do that is brilliant imo and my respect for bmouth has gone up!
Gerard Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 true but we probs had the easiest game of the weekend on paper so to all come away with the same three points isn't as good as it could've been. however if we keep getting our three points then unless the fa make a rule that spurs get five points for a win it doesn't really matter. there was no way we were going to finish fourth/behind city anyway, whether they'd lost today or won 47-0. That's nonsense. We were about 2.4 on Betfair to win at Palace (42% chance of winning) Spurs were about 1.51 to win today (66% chance) We've had the best weekend by a distance although it was annoying to see Spurs win so easily. Bournemouth never even let us get our hopes up but it would be far more frustrating for Spurs fans to see us get another 1-0 win away from home and especially as Palace hit the bar in injury time.
Foxey id Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 Away though with Palace a much more physical side than the Cherries. Palace havent won a league game this year. Bournemouth are the 3rd best team in the league this year.
bovril Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 If you were Pelligrini, would you, on a personal level want to qualify for CL? Not sure I would, unprofessional as it sounds. Of course he will. If he doesn't, he'll find it hard to get a top job having failed so badly with such a squad.

Karljohn Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 Its still 5 points. And would we rather be hosting Southampton or going to Anfield next.
Tuna Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 If you were Pelligrini, would you, on a personal level want to qualify for CL? Not sure I would, unprofessional as it sounds. Try removing me from the Bridge, and I'll smash the boat into a cliff and steal the remaining lifeboat and laugh as it sinks.
foxinsox Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 Spurs and Kane are worthy competition. They have a pretty impressive side and manager, even if many of their fans are tossers. Man U winning today is good news, LVG should survive a bit longer. Its a 3 horse race now with us having a length and a half lead. If ever we have a team with their heads screwed on right it is this one. Ditto Wes as Captain and Claudio as Manager. It should be a very interesting end to the season.
Hammered Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 We're coming for Citeh, at least I hope we'll manage this... Reckon at this point your only job is to keep clear of Spuds. Can't see anyone else being a real threat.

Don`t agree with that at all. Palace away is never an easy game, and while they have been on a bad run recently, they have their best players back now. Tottenham have actually ran into Bournemouth at a good time, they have just sealed their place in the premier for next season, and have probably relaxed and not played with the same intensity as they would have done a few weeks back, when they were desperate for points. In fact, Tottenham have probably struck lucky with when they play Liverpool too, as they play them the saturday before their Europa league game, and with Liverpools defeat today, pretty much ruling out any outside chance of them making the Champions League via the league, Klopp may well rest players against Tottenham thinking that their priority lies with the Europa league game against his former club!
Kendal Fox Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 Oh well... I've always said that Rodney from Only Fools and Horses is better looking than Kane and I stand by that.

I know what the table says, and that the table don`t lie and all that, but before the games this weekend, i would much rather have been playing a nothing to play for Bournemouth at home, who have just got themselves safe, and can start thinking about their holidays, than a Palace team with some very dangerous players on their day, who still need at least another win to be safe.
Matt Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 Can't believe there's a two week break now. No Easter Bank Holiday football, that's bullshit! Fuck You England/International games!

Bournemouth are a lot better than palace at the moment.
SpinneyHillRanger Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 April can be the month it all falls into place. If we get 10 points from our 4 games, spurs get 6... We should only need a single point from 3 games. In April we have Southampton, Sunderland, West ham and Swansea. Spurs have Liverpool, man U, West brom

Kendal Fox Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 I still think Spurs have had a much easier arrangement of PL fixtures than us so far this year. It seems they get 2 or 3 mediocre to crap teams in a row, then a big team, then mediocre again, etc, etc.For example - From January onwards, if you scratch our win over them out - They played Sunderland, then Crystal Palace (both teams in dire form at that time), then Norwich and Watford, then their first "big game" in ages was against a depleted, shell shocked Man City (who had just come off the back of a 3-1 drubbing from us) in which they were lucky to take all 3 points, needing a penalty and a late winner...Then, Swansea at White Hart lane, before finally playing a decent club in good form (West Ham) and losing, then drawing with 10 man Arsenal. Then they play Villa and Bournemouth back to back FFS!!! Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Stoke will be their turn to experience back to back "big" games, just like we had in November, December and February.We need to keep winning our games of course. But Spurs have had a very favourable arrangement of fixtures in the league for the most part and I don't think it will stand them in good stead, ultimately.
sly1 Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 It's ours no worries we go again c,mon city we can smell success
Corky Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 Don't get into fixture list arguments, everyone plays the same teams, the same games, you'll get favourable and non-favourable runs throughout the season.
mikael2 Posted 20 March 2016 Posted 20 March 2016 Seems to be a little worry creeping in to posts. Need to be loud, proud and positive. That's the truth. No more bad thoughts, City will win the League.
