Funny, I think it more realistic that we beat spurs away, then we beat Fulham by the large margins people seem to be imagining is so easily done.

Who has suggested it’s easily done?

If they had mike riley back, I’d be quietly confident.

Howard Webb will have to do for now

Honestly I have no worries.Well one and that is a repeat of RM.
That aside we have a team with 5 or so players that would get into a world XI.
Not one guy in our squad thinks we wont do this.Add the worlds best manager into that.
We win by a clear 4 tomorrow and the game on Tuesday will be over by HT.

What Real Madrid is in the Champions League, City is in the English Premier League

3 points.

I don't care how we get it. That's all that matters.

It’s not the same though. There are only two feasible ways we can win this title. Win all our games or win two and draw one. For the latter to conceivably happen we need to win big in the other two. All some posters (including me) are saying is that if we’re winning by a decent margin on Saturday after (say) an hour, then we would prefer us to try and increase that lead rather than preserve it, as a form of insurance - and to put more pressure on Arsenal. Others may disagree with that approach and they are perfectly entitled to, as it’s a perfectly logical and sensible, if somewhat cautious perspective.

On the other hand, every single poster on here (who is a blue) wants us to win all three, irrespective of how we do it. There is no sensible counterpoint to that perspective.

So there is a distinction.

What's a decent margin? I remember a certain Brendan Rodgers having the same idea a decade ago ...

You clearly have significantly less faith in this group of players than I do.

I think Spurs will be playing for top four on Tuesday. Villa are fucked, crippled by injuries and half fit players, they’ve got Liverpool on Monday who have had a weeks rest. Spurs have got Burnley tomorrow, I think there’s a good chance that Vinnie comes away with a point.

These two dont match. If Spurs only draw with Burnley, they are done. They can only equal Villa's point tally and their GD is massively inferior.
