Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

[spursfan77]

Amazing results for us after the Man City defeat. I didn’t see tonight coming. Brilliant.

Just need to take advantage and win tomorrow now.

These results and the fact they Utd and Chelsea will take points from each other means we could still afford a slip up against West Ham.

Wouldn't be surprised to see 0-0 second half. Happens so often after a high scoring draw at HT it's crazy. Fingers crossed

And there we go

Burnley horrible anti-football but defended superbly

 

[Spurger King]

OK so if:

• We beat Brighton and West Ham
• City beat United
• United beat Chelsea

Top 4 is confirmed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks to goal difference, that’s correct.

Win our home games and we’re there.

Burnley are by far the most pathetic club in the premier league and I cannot wait until they're relegated.

That being said, they're my second favorite club in the league right now because of today.

IMO 6 points does it for top 4, the other clubs are so abysmal it's almost sad.

I know you're only talking mathematics but we can't afford any slip ups, we have 4 games to go and need to take all the momentum we can into our remaining CL games and into next season. Anything but 4 wins should be looked at as disappointing.

Also, if we do slip up...anybody but those ***** please.

And there we go

Burnley horrible anti-football but defended superbly

And scored 2 goals

Chelsea doesnt have an easy game left and you can count on United dropping points. We really shouldnt fuck this up.

 

[Spurger King]

Really great weekend in the end, despite us losing. We’re in a strong position now, but the Chelsea and Arsenal results are a reminder that winnable home games don’t always result in 3 points.

I think we all expected to probably lose to the Sheik Mansour team, so to have our rivals only manage to make up one point on us between the three of them is a great outcome. Win tomorrow and that’s one foot in the CL next year as far as I’m concerned. At this rate the Everton game could be a dead rubber.

Looking at the various fixtures I think two more wins should be enough.

I agree, but I’m taking nothing for granted considering our league form over the past couple of months!

I think people are being a bit harsh on Burnley, I totally understand the upset about their time wasting antics but look at it from their point of view - they probably have a salary spend less than what Chelsea spend on Higuin and Hazard - what are you expecting?

They are effective (generally) in what they do and whilst they are dull, tedious, time wasting they've also put two past Chelsea.

Am quite looking forward to tomorrow night now

We ought to change the title to "Race for fourth for the other three losers"

Third is done - for us... im super confident

and also Burnley v Arsenal last game of season. We may need another favour although would be brilliant if we could avoid the last day thing.

It's definitely not like us to drop points in the last 4 games of the season, handing our position to a direct rival.

I dont like them personally, Dyche irritates me as he goes on about divers but I don't see what his team were doing tonight as better than diving, infact it's worse to be faking injuries like that, he talks about them playing with an honesty, he's a massive hypocrite, I appreciate where you're coming from but they don't have to go down that route.

Very true, which is why I hope we throw everything we have at Brighton.

This is where the new stadium comes into play. I’m expecting a thunderous atmosphere in our remaining home games, especially against West Ham, the annoying little gnats.

This has been one of the weirdest seasons I can remember. Never really played well, lost loads of games, all the Wembley frustration, injury after injury, flirted with a title race, and now we’re in prime position to secure 3rd place as we prepare for a CL semi-final in the best stadium in the country

Oh man, that was painful.

 

[Shadydan]

If Spurs did what the other 3 did this weekend I'd be absolutely fuming

Dude, there was nothing riding on that... the title was long gone, and not really fussed with finishing second or third... (at the time anyways).

We are a much more mature team now...

Relax we got this.. change the title.
