The last six games

[dannythomas]

Just interested in reading how others on here think these games will pan out.

Confidence is obviously high, but even the most optimistic among us must find the idea of winning all six games to be a bit of a stretch.

Equally we've lost three games all season, so it seems unlikely that we'll lose many (if any).

We've got four tough away games:

Palace (playing well and beat Chelsea and Arsenal recently)

Leicester (they hate us and have bugger all else to play for)

Spam (as above, only more so)

Hull (on paper this could be our easiest remaining game, but they'll either be fighting for survival or desperate to end the season on something of a high)

Then two tough home games:

Arsenal (not playing well, but they'll be as pumped up to win the last NLD at the Lane as we will, and anything can happen in a derby)

United (fighting to finish in the CL spots, and have some big game players that will relish the drama of the occasion)

Personally I think we'll win one home game and draw the other, beat Hull, draw against West Ham, and have shock defeats away to Palace and Leicester. 8 points and deliberately pessimistic. It's pretty much the least I expect us to achieve.

Don't Leicester still have CL to play for ? They are not out of it against Atletico. Don't want a nightmare scenario where we finally finish above L'arse but our form slips enough for us to end up 4th, Leicester would probably draw Monaco in the semis , get through that and park the bus against Real or Juve. Sense of deja vu ?

On the other hand Liverpool collapse, we finish first or second, beat Arsenal, win the FA Cup. Arsenal finish 4th, United win Europa and Leicester reach the CL. final. Only in that case would I become a Leicester fan for a night.

Win all 6 IMO

U wot m8? We've had a really good season, but I don't think, much as i'd like to, that we'll have anything tangible to show for it. SK asked what ppl thought. For the record, I think I predicted more points than him. FFS, this place is so cliquey at times

Just for you, we'll do the double. #spirit

2 wins out of 6 and no FA cup. I understand being a "realist" but let's be honest given the form we are in that would be a disastrous end to the season. Surely all spurs fans can justifiably hope for better?

 

[ardiles]

Firstly, we would need all our first teamers, including Rose, available for the remaining 6 matches.

On current form, I think we should easily get five wins. I only have a small doubt for the United game. If they are out of the EL and need points against us for a top four place, then Jose might play a defensive side to eke a point from that game. Otherwise, I think we should beat them too.

 

[WiganSpur]

On paper there is no reason why we can't win them all, the way we dealt with Burnley away and then the circumstances at Swansea leads me to believe we can cope with most things thrown at us now.

If we win at Palace then we might just win them all.

 

[SugarRay]

Win the lot. Then next season we start with an attempt to win 14 premier league games on the bounce!

IMHO Palace and Leicester are going to be our toughest games, but after 53 years of watching this club I realised at the game yesterday what a formidable team we have become. all over the pitch yesterday we were strong, clever, skilful and playing with extreme confidence. Two big ifs I know, but if they lose today and we beat them next week I think we could possibly win the double, for three reasons,
1) They still have Everton and WBA to play away and I can see them dropping points at both of those.
2) The belief in our team will be sky high
3) I don't care how many of their side have experience in these type of end of seasons, serious doubts will creep in, they are one or two injuries from having a mini collapse. ( preferably Hazard and Costa)

If they lose today I am off to the bookies tomorrow, cue hundreds of optimistic ratings.

 

[spurs mental]

We only need 1 point to guarantee EL qualification. Confirm that and I'll be ecstatic.

 

[Neon_Knight_]

We have a much tougher run of games that Chelsea, but if we continue to play first (unlike last season's title run-in, where everything seemed to be in Leicester's favour), I think we'll at least stay in the title race until the last two games.

If you're going to have a bet now is the time to do it!

Don't do online betting (slippery slope) and bookies aren't open on Easter Sunday, Tesco's aren't even open today!!

 

[Buggsy61]

Home draw against Woolwich 2-2, win against 3-1 United who will have one eye on Europa League
Away: Beat Leicester, Hull and West Ham but draw 1-1 at Palace
Finish second by 2 points
Get to FA CUP Final against City but can't bring myself to predict the result!.

 

[TaoistMonkey]

We are better than every single other team in the league and will demonstrate that by winning every remaining game.

Fuck yeah

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Think we will beat the Gooners easily and also win against Utd.
The away games are more tricky...Wet Spam are a bit rubbish so I think we'll probably beat them however. Palace will be a more challenging game but I could see us scraping a hard 2-1 victory. Leicester away is our hardest assignment and I do think the one we are most likely to slip up on. I could see this being a 2-2 draw however.
The Hull game is a tricky one to predict and will depend upon our relative positions. If we have nothing to play for and they are scrapping for their lives we could easily lose it. So I'm going for a 1-0 defeat.
So I reckon 4 wins one draw and one defeat and a finish of 84 points!!!

 

[dvdhopeful]

2 Draws, 4 Win, Fa Cup Winners....

Looking at the Utd team I'm glad I didn't put any money on yet

 

[voxy28]

we just got to win all the games to be in top 2.

 

[StartingPrice]

I honestly think we'll win all our last 6 league games, we're playing the best football in the league, with the best defense and confidence through the roof.

Still don't think it will be quite enough, Chelsea will win it by two points or so I reckon.

In our favour:

IMHO, game by game, I honestly believe we should be going into every one of our games with confidence, maybe as favourites in each one, too.

We have momentum.

We are looking strong.

We have focus.

We are driven.

We have important players coming back.

Even with all this, though, I would fear that one rogue result is always a possibility, so I would hesitate to say we will win all our remaining games. It's possible, but a real tough ask. Just hope, game by game, that we win and they drop points.

One thing, though, if we finish up level on points, which will mean they've dropped points, I am fairly confident that we will have a better goal-difference.

Against us:

Chelsea will need to lose today AND drop points in two further games...

There are no easy games this time of the season.

 

[ebzrascal]

I think if we play to form we are better than all the teams left to play.

Palace - Win (They are safe)
Arsenal - Win (They are rattled at the moment)

****** Rose should be back*****

West Ham - Win (They are safe)
Man U - Win (Focused on Europa)
Leicester - Win (They are safe)
Hull - Win (Hopefully safe/relegated)
