I think it's harsh to say this about Dougie because was certainly tired, cynical, and burnout out after playing so many games but it's worth noticing that the best we played in the business end of the season was the two games we played while DL was suspended.

I'm honestly not overly stressed about bottling the league position next season. The stars have aligned so well for us in the sense that, aside from City and Arsenal, the hierarchy of the so called Big 6 (should really be the Big 8 now with us and Newcastle) is in disarray. United are a dumpster fire, Spurs seem to be imploding, Liverpool are facing a very uncertain future post-Klopp, Chelsea and Newcastle are solid young sides but certainly clubs we can go toe to toe with in a race for 4th. Plus, I think England not getting the extra CL spot was an aberration amd we should be able to rely on 5th being a CL spot more often than not.

The future is so so bright.

I get the conflicting feelings but surely the fanbase sees the trees for the woods and understands just how much of a setback missing CL two years running is for a club like Spurs? Granted they have a pretty self sustained revenue model now with the shiny stadium but as far as recruitment goes they are NOT Manure or Chelsea whose stature alone ensures they'll always be top of the list for big signings. They could easily slip into midtable irrelevancy like WHU or Everton if they go few more years without cracking the CL places.

It is the history of the Tottenham.

Given that Spurs play SHU I don't think GD is much of a buffer. I get scoring 5-6 goals or more in one game is asking a lot but Sheffield are the worst defensive side in Prem history, it has to be expected they'll go at least 3 goals clear minimum. Frankly I think it's more likely than not that if we both finish at 67 points, Spurs will take 4th on GD. I still think we'll squeak a result from the final 2 despite the fact that we're cooked, to say nothing of 115 licking their chops about playing Spurs. But this is far from done and dusted.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. But if there's one team you'd be licking your chops at the possibility of putting up 5+ against, it's the **** Blades

Diaby is hopeless, **** me. I know there's talent in there but man...

El Arabi literally shrugging in confusion as his celebration says it all... ffs

Not confident we won't look similar at Selhurst.

Good news is United have downed tools so no chance they pick up points against the Arse, which means City will still be full tilt va Spurs.

I've said it before but we're lucky Spurs are just as toast as we are. I'd be shitting bricks about 4th if it were say, Liverpool or Newcastle on our ass.

You'll be proper rattled when we're back up with our 60k stadium

Is there a chance that subconsciously this is what they have their eyes on a and heads in?

Not saying purposely so ( neglecting the Conference League ) somewhat.

I don't think there's any doubt, and if not for some calamitous errors and terrible luck it would've continued doing so. He won't admit it but I think Emery understands the journey has been more important than the destination here; learning how to pace yourself through the season is so important, how often do you see Real in CL games breezing through the game like it's a warmup? It's the right mindset, but mistakes cost us.

Let's not forget the tie is far from done and dusted.

Tough result today but having a peak at the GobblingCock forum puts things in perspective, they are absolutely losing the plot right now

Can we please not blame the ref FFS

He was bad but we were even more shit, stop making excuses. It's not an indictment of the squad, injuries and fatigue are taking their toll... but we laid an egg today. It happens

Thank **** God Chelsea won tonight

Down 2 goals in the 1st leg with 12 minutes left is not the time to raise the white flag for the team to see.

The side have shown their human side by **** it up. Unai is within his rights to be upset about it...

Yeah we have checked out after the pen miss

It's cooked

So obvious he would miss that **** sake

I wouldnt call any of the 3 non-pen goals soft. But Emi gets at least one of them. That's a **** fact

Gonna be honest, if Spurs turn it around tonight it's gonna be squeaky bum time for 4th... we're probably more knackered as they are, as bad as they look. It is what it is, the lack of a quality second string always shows at the business end of the season.

Matty Cash is a right sided Matt Targett

Leverkusen are incredible. They were facing their first loss of the season and just equalised in the last minute of injury time.

Second weekend in a row they've scored a stoppage time equalizer, they really want that invincible season don't they

Let's be honest here, Cov would've been dicked by City and I think somehow, watching United celebrate like they just won the WC after barely clinching pens against a midtable Championship side they blew a 3-0 lead against is more embarrassing than if they had lost the damn thing. Propah smalltime m8
