and we can spin that on its head too, they played us first game of the season with all them available and only got a draw.....bare in mind Vardy had another chance to win that for us too

True. Yet, We did miss some key players as well. Which seems to go a bit unnoticed.
 

Mads, Ndidi and Fatawu all would start and add to our starting 11. 
 

i don’t really have much sympathy for the Spurs defenders injuries. They rushed both CBs back against Chelsea and caused them longer term injury. 
 

our replacements are free transfers like Bobby Reid. Spurs replacement players all cost 20 + million, Archie gray was 40 million alone.

 

certainly they would be much stronger with the team you listed who were absent. Thankfully Leicester did the job and got a vital win

Yeah and a fully fit Spurs side would’ve been a very different experience away from home. The thing about this season is we just need to grab whatever we can. The reality is if we do actually stay up, there are a number of players we should be looking to move on/move to squad players. Which is fairly normal.
 

Honestly, out of 20 teams, I think there at 16/17 who we cannot go toe to toe with and win. So we are dependant on injuries, shithousing, dodgy 1-0s. What I can take from that is that: a) they went a goal down and reacted - after 7 defeats that is tough; b) after going 2-1 up, they didn’t just hold on, they control the speed of the game. Those are huge points for teams in our position. 
 

Here’s to 6 more of these sort of wins! 

[CosbehFox]

I thought we were bad but…. 
 

I though these lot wanted Levy out but rhey are there spending money exactly as he wants 

 

[Spudulike]

Leicester are nobodies, you do the maffs.

[Mickyblueeyes]

Spurs have always been quite kind to us when we’ve been shit in this league. Well for as far as I can remember. 
 

94/95 - 3-1 win at Filbert Street, Roberts and Joachim masterclass. 
 

2001 - they came to the last game at Filbert Street and we won 2-1. 

 

2003 - a mad 4-4 at White Hart Lane and we were atrocious all season. 
 

22/24 - 4-1 at the KP. 
 

They really are the club we should be singing “can we play you every week” to.

not to split hairs but Bissouma was on the bench. 

 

They have a lot of injuries, but so do other teams Bournemouth have 12 fit first teamers and just smashed one of the form teams in the league. 

[WigstonWanderer]

Nearly a quarter of the points we’ve taken this season came from Spurs 😂

So do we, perhaps not quite so many but some of the players that could make a difference for us

We were missing Kante, Marhez, Huth, Morgan and Drinkwater. It's a right bugger sometimes isn't it!

[Foxdiamond]

Maddison was sore. I remember Steve Claridge writing about the same players crying off as soon as they had the most minor knock when others wanted to play

I don't think Maddison cried off. I think Ange cried him off.

Probably didn't think he would need him against us. Either way not good.

[lcfcsnow]

Maddison never wanted to play against Norwich either, from what I saw

I’ve missed that feeling of waking up the day after a win. Really hoping this is the catalyst that gets us going.

Jumping around. Randomly breaking into a silent but boisterous YES! with clenched fists. Smiling like an idiot.

Dropped the lad off at school, had a random fist pump come over me on the way out  

[Richmondfox]

The second goal came from what we should be doing a lot more often.  VK and Reid pressed forcing them back, Soumare nipped in and then Reid got the ball forward quickly.  No standing off, slowing down and sending it backwards.

If nothing else we enjoy the feeling of sunshine on our backs for a few days as relief from this winter of discontent

Yesterday took me to 6 wins and a draw from the last 7 games I've been to. I must be the luckiest fan going atm.

The 2-1 final game at Filbo was 2002. But your point still stands because the previous season (00/01) we went on that atrocious run of 9 wins from 10. And of course that one win was against...

Yes!! 4-2 wasn’t it ? Just have this image of Emile Heskey absolutely bossing Sol Campbell throughout the 90s.
