Delphinho123 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 If Spurs didn’t have Burnley and Sheff UTD, I’d be saying it’s ‘done’ too. However, those sides regularly concede 4+ goals to even the poorer teams in the division. It would only take the following set of results for them to catch us. Spurs 4-1 Burnley Spurs 4-0 Sheff Utd Spurs 1-1 Man City Villa 0-2 Liverpool Villa 0-1 Palace That is not exactly bonkers and quite frankly, we’ll be lucky to only lose by two now Liverpool are playing without pressure but still for Klopp. Palace have hit form and look dangerous too. It’s very likely Spurs will be 4 points behind us by the time we play Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play like the last couple of games it is unlikely that will get get any points from liverpool or palace. It could be all on the man city v spurs game.

They would win in goals scored so only need to beat them 3-0 each if we lose 1-0 and 2-0 If Liverpool won 4-0 it would mean even a draw for Spurs against City would have made it very hard for them to turn around the goal difference.

Luckily, Man City will need to win the match. If Spurs get a point against Man City then I fear our GD isn’t enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Spurs have imploded but we have actually earnt our lead in recent weeks, yes it's going to be a hard couple of games but it shouldn't all be about Spurs handing it to us. Exactly this, we beat arsenal and drew with Chelsea two teams Spurs have just lost too. We deserve to be ahead. The 4 goals from Liverpool would have been really useful for GD. Even with how poor we've been I can't see us not scoring again or even not getting another point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben1505 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Some people are claiming that Spurs won't care if they lost v Man City if it stops Arsenal from winning the league.... The players aren't fans... do the Spurs players really care who wins the league?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 We really are close we can see this out ourselves. I just don't want it going to the final day as the stress would be too much. We've a 4 day gap to Liverpool and then a 6 day to Palace. We can recharge batteries. Need the home support on Monday night We are capable of big performances. We've seen plenty of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben1505 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The bookies here in NZ are offering to qualify for top 4 Aston Villa $1.03 Spurs $11.00 I'm surprised that they're offering so much for Spurs, seeing as they're pretty much guaranteed 6 points and a hefty positive goal difference...

CVByrne Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Betfair here has us as 1.06 which is a 94.6% Chance. So win £1000 if we don't and lose £60 if we do get 4th. Spurs are 17.0 to get 4th or a 5.8% chance Edited May 6 by CVByrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wouldn’t rule out Burnley getting something against Spurs. They are generally poor but occasionally pick up a good result and Spurs aren’t exactly great at the moment. I expect Spurs to win but far far from a guarantee and it wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The odds are heavily stacked in our favor, but it isn't done until it's mathematically locked. We have the power to seal our own fate nd I think we will versus Liverpool. One last heroic performance is what we need and Unai & the players got it in them. What a season!
