Tell us something we dont know.

He is feeling the pressure. I hope it gets to him. I hope it gets to him.

Mmmmmmmind games!

He also referred to Chelsea as the "underdogs". With that run in, that squad, those points in hand. Pffft

Antonio: it will be a massive cock up if you don't win this now, don't get all Jose about it

It's kind of flattering that someone is trying mind games on us.
Has it ever happened before?
Did they exist in our glory glory days?

If our boys can just keep their cool, stay fit and remain focussed, we'll win the fecking double. But it's a bit of a tall order, considering our fixtures, four out of six being away games etc.

I think hes right, in that we have the best starting 11 in the league, (Hard to think of a weak spot in any position at the moment ) but I think they still have overall the strongest squad to choose from.

If you had to bet your house on one side this weekend, which would you pick? I would honestly pick Spurs. If we had Rose available, I would be twice as confident.

I was saying this last night. My non-Spurs mate was like, "It's the hope that kills you, right?"

And I was like, no, not really – I've loved how we've played this year, and I don't think the league is realistically credible. Obviously if we do, I'll be ecstatic, but for us to double our best winning run ever and for Chelsea to slip up consistently, with that run in – I'm not getting hopeful. That won't determine whether we've had a good season.

BUT I am hoping we win the FA Cup. I think we absolutely can and should win that from where we are now. That's two one-off games.

we need to see the gap reduce to 3pts or less, to see what they are made of.

They are having a sneaky peek over their shoulders, but real panic will set in when the gap drops to within a game.

We will need to see how we cope also, though.

Just starting to feel hope and to dream... Could it happen I just don't know , but if we can draw level we will surly win it on goal difference... just a few short weeks ago who would have thought we would be this close..Come on your Spurs and fulfill my lifelong dream ...

I keep saying it - their form outside of that 13 game run is average.
If we win every game we WILL catch them

He also described City as the best team in the Premier League.

United are probably the best team in the Premier League according to him, now that they've beaten them. And Palace.

Hopefully Southampton and Everton will join us, City, United, and Palace as 'the best team in the Premier League'.

 

[Chris_D]

We've had a great season but I hate to say it, I don't think we'll win the league because the gap is too big with not enough games left. We can win the cup and we can get second place but this is the most unlikely title win since Leicester. The season is all on the semi, we can win that and then we're favourites in the final. The next game is the biggest of the season...

He just came up against Dara Dahl.

I agree, but it's a big IF.

Imagine if we're able to carry that form into next season. I can't see a single team capable of matching us

Then remember we're playing at Wembley like a glass of cold water to the face

If so, we'll be crowned Champions by Christmas.
