Also they will be fired up at home to Spurs. I feel we just need a big performance against Brighton. Go into that as fired up as we can be. We are better away from home at the moment than at home where the team feel pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean spurs losing 4 league games in a row. I don’t think that will happen. In fact it would not surprise me if they got 4pts from those games. They were actually pretty good yesterday. Hopefully we’ve got enough to drag ourselves over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think Spurs will get a draw from one or both games possibly. As long as our result against Brighton is better than their combined result then we should have done enough to secure 4th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted April 29 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29 Spurs will be beat Chelsea, Chelsea were good against us but we was hopeless tbh, we couldn't string two passes together and was all over the place at the back and wasteful up front. We need 6 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need 6 points. Chelsea have lost only once at home in PL since November. While this is their derby game and a midweek evening game. I think Chelsea will be hugely up for this.

CVByrne Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Also don't rule out Burnley taking something off Spurs. Burnley have lost only once in their last 8 games. Got a point at Old Trafford too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea have only lost once (when Palmer was out) in their last 10 PL games I can understand your argument and hope you are right but I wasn't that impressed by Chelsea, despite them being all over us they never beat us. Spurs played well yesterday and finished the game very strongly. I just think Chelsea's character will be severly tested and I'm not convinced there's that much there tbh.

It'll have been a season beyond expectations. Like we're nearly at 70 points which is a monumental effort given how bad our injuries have been. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the injuries we've had and with what happened with 5th not getting CL. Just points towards another twist. I hope not and I would expect Spurs to get a maximum of two points in their next two games. i agree i think it'll go to the wire too. we SHOULD beat brighton (and on current form you'd argue liverpool too) but there will be a twist and turn i'm sure. i don't think it will be as bad as us needing a win on the final day, but i can see it being a situation where we need to avoid defeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Reckon it's a draw for spurs on Thursday and maybe Sunday too. We also will draw with Brighton which would still be okay for us. Would mean a 6 point gap and they having the one game in hand against man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_82 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 As much as Saturday night was frustrating it felt like a point gained at the time and yesterdays result meant it was (Being greedy i would have like to gain a couple of goals too!) This week they have Chelsea & Liverpool and we have Brighton, would obviously love to gain on them but I think if we can get through these games neutral and so still with the 7 point lead then I think that would be us just needing to win one of the last 2 games. Chelsea you have the London derby factor so i think that may be the tougher of the 2 games as Liverpool just dont look at it and to be honest form wise Brighton are one we should target for 3 points Really is squeaky bum time!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, they're capable of winning both which would mean they'd be very much in it and we'd need to find some sort of heroics in the last games ourselves even with all the injuries and the ECL games... Personally though I think we need 4 points from our last 3 games, beat Brighton and we're almost home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Another win for us is needed and we've three opportunities to achieve it. I think 4 points will be enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Chelsea have 4 very winnable games after the Spurs match. They could get to 63 points if they win all of their games which, and it’s a long shot, could get them 5th. They will very much be up for the game on Thursday. Let’s just hope Spurs aren’t.

In bold if happens it's over. They can't bridge 10pts in last 3 games. 3pts is enough if Spurs get beaten by Chelsea and Liverpool.
