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

[The Fixer]

70 points will be what is required to get 4th.

We require 20 points from 10 so need W6 D2 L2 to get Chumps.

Taking 9 points from the next 3 games would go a long way, minimum of 7 I feel.

I am still extremely confident we will get 4th.

Lose against arsenal, rags
draw villa spuds
win wigan fulham everton birmingham westham burnley

According to SSN apparently it is all done and dusted:-
Fortunately for the Cameroon international, Kranjcar struck an excellent winner in the 77th minute to place Spurs out of reach of Liverpool and Manchester City, who are not in action until Sunday.

Who are they trying to kid,,lol?

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

Its looking more and more like it will be under 70 points this year for 4th spot

 

[masterwig]

I think we must win four of our next five to give us a chance. Because after that the games get tougher and Liverpool have a good set of fixtures. We might end up regretting playing for a draw at home against them.

I don't see what you're trying to get at.

Spurs are out of reach of Liverpool and Manchester City at the moment. 4 and 5 points is out of reach because you can only get a maximum of three points for a win, which would still put you below us.

Doesn't mean they're saying that Spurs have got 4th place in the bag. Just that 4th place is theirs for now.

Looking at that chart the dippers have a very easy run in.

They have to play United and Chelsea. They also have to go away to Burnley.

 

[Skashion]

I don't know what everyone's whining about. We've got our forty points and then some. Happy days.

 

[Packrat]

IF we win our games in hand then we are above Spuds, therefore not out of reach! I think???

Themselves.

After the games on April 3rd City, Spurs, Liverpool and Villa will all have played 32 games. I'd say we need to be within 2 points of 4th by then.

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.

We beat Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal at home so why cant we beat the mighty EVerton?

Spurs winning today was to be expected and they have a tougher run in.

We also have the best home record in the leagues.

I reckon you are about as wrong as you could get.

Hahaha....Why am I wrong ? Tell me how many games have we truly bossed this year ?. Chelsea, although it was a great result we rode our luck in that first half. As for the Sunderland game we had a 12 days off and couldn't raise our game in that first half. Everton if you know your football have that great combination of work ethic, solid defenders, good movement and creativity. Plus they have a manager that doesn't do daft things like sitting on the bench while the half time talk is going on. They will be very hard to beat and very confident of winning at the Coms.

 

[I Know What I'm Talking About]

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?

Can I just point out though that Spurs haven't lost to Chelsea at home for the last five seasons, and winning two of the last three. We also tend to draw with Arsenal at home. And you guys all know what Spurs' record is like against City, home and away.

The only game you'd look at and say was a sure fire loss would be Man Utd away, where we always play terribly.

We've won a game today which I had expected us to lose, or draw at best, so that is a big result for us at the moment. We've also won the last four league games in a row, with Portsmouth at home next.

We're also without Woodgate, King, Huddlestone, Jenas, Lennon, Bentley, Defoe and possibly Pavlyuchenko now.

Hopefully we'll be getting Huddlestone, Lennon and Defoe back within the next few weeks, which will be a massive boost for the three games against the top 3.

Obviously though, if we don't get them back and, with the way our luck is currently going, get even more injuries to our first team, then it'll be a massive struggle.

Although, I do think that 4th place will be decided on May 5th.

 

[larderland]

if we beat fulham tomorrow all will be forgotten,like fergy scum said,win all of our matches and well get 4th

 

[Rammy Blue]

worth remembering that Dippers have got some tough Europa games coming up and that Villa and Spuds are both still in FA Cup, the latter having a replay mid week.

our squad is larger and we have less injuries so should last the pace better.

we will get 4th.

Ha - Bad WUM.

I know my football and as such I am well aware that no team in the world comes to the COMS very confident of winning at the moment. Sounds like you support Everton. What do we have chopped liver? Great forwards, talented and lightening fast wingers, aggressive mid-fielders, a strong back four now they are settled. Not to mention taking more points from behind than any other Prem team (so our work ethic aint bad) and a manager that who not only doesnt look like a protagonist from Lord Of The Rings, has also actually won stuff. Lots and lots of stuff.

I wouldn't swap our position and run in with any other teams. That is for sure.

Not sure why you people have to come on a City site but, since you have, it's fair comment. only time will tell. Lots of strange results to come I think and, whoever gets fourth, will deserve it.

Who said it was sewn up?
