Spurs beat Stoke and they've automatically got 4th sewn up

You have to admit its going to be tough to stop Spurs right now. They're a much more settled side than us while were struggling to play well for more than 45 mins in a game. We have to get at least a point tomorrow because we have Everton on Weds and I can't see us winning that one. Nothings changed for me I still reckon we'll finish 7th.

You are forgetting we still have to play the rags/arse/spurs/villa/everton & fulham away. They have points on the board & how many more do you think we will we have after our next 2 games ?? we need to attack & go for the wins,will we do that or will we be happy with 2 draws.

I doubt anyone would be happy with 2 draws and i'm sure you know that. 4 points wouldn't be the end of the world but 6 points would put us in pole position
I think i know i wouldn't but what i think means a big fat zero,let's see how we set up for our next 2 games shall we.

We play United, Spurs, Villa and Everton at home though, where we haven't lost for almost a year, in all competitions.

I don't see why we can't get a point tomorrow and 3 on Wednesday, that puts us a point behind Spurs with the following fixtures remaining:

City ---------------- Spurs

Wigan (H) -------- Pompey (H)
Burnley (A) ------- Sunderland (A)
B'ham (H) --------- Arsenal (H)
United (H) -------- Chelsea (H)
Arsenal (A) -------- United (A)
Villa (H) ----------- Bolton (H)
Spurs (H) --------- City (A)
West Ham (A) ----- Burnley (A)

I'd feel pretty confident about making up a point difference over those games.

Lets see how many points we get out of the next two games. I'm sure very few people connected to the club would be happy with 2 points from our next two games. Mancini certainly won't be happy as it'll leave us 3 points behind 4th having played the same amount of games, he wasn't happy with a point at Sunderland so he's not going to be happy with 2 points from our next 2 games

What a joke!

So they're 5 points ahead, big deal.

Even if we didn't have games in hand it wouldn't be disastrous.

Not only do Spurs have to play Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United in the run-in, that's the top 3 who are all pushing for the league, they play them all consecutively.

Before that they play Sunderland who have recovered some of their injured players and hit a small patch of form, and afterwards they have to come to City.

Can you imagine if they lose those 4 games, which isn't unrealistic, they won't have much confidence come May 5th will they?

Liverpool and Villa are by no means out of it. Liverpool are used to being at the top and as such have developed a certain attitude and like all big teams seem to be able to win even when they don't play well, although they really aren't playing well at the minute.

Villa weren't great today but have shown they can raise their game and have arguably the easiest run of fixtures.

There are far too many people on here who put too much emphasis on the result of one game. When Villa drew we suddenly had a great chance to get 4th, now that Spurs have won we don't have a chance apparently. I thought it was bad when opinions drastically changed after our results but this is just ridiculous.

There's a very high likelihood that all 4 teams will drop more points before the end of the season and that 4th place won't be decided until the last couple of games of the season.

your thread titles are a little tiresome
