It would be our best season since 61, more than happy would be an understatement!It's getting harder as they run away with it, just like last season with Leicester. If we finish second and get the fa cup, I'll be more than happy.
We need to win something this season.

Just having a look at the run in and Chelseas last 3 games have them at home against Boro and Sunderland, and away to wba. Meanwhile we have to go to spam and Hull, and home to Man u. Could be done and dusted by then of course but even if it isn't, those fixtures aren't kind for us.
Agree with the comments above.Don't they have Liverpool and Arsenal next? Fair to say if we havn't cut into their lead by a few points by the time the next two sets of fixtures have been played I think our title chances will have gone from slim to miniscule.
Let's see where we are in two games time before declaring it's all but over.
Anything is possible.
Are you a couple of spanners short of a full toolbox? We are engaged in 750m capital project. Finishing top 4 and guaranteeing CL football is everything at the moment. Yes, this young squad needs to get their hands on silverware to grow. But the financial reality has got to come first right now.Agree with the comments above.
Straight after Chelsea play Liverpool and Arsenal then we play Liverpool away. My view is that unless the gap to Chelsea is then down to 6 points we should then play our strongest teams in the Europa Cup and a strong team in the FA Cup (I assume we will beat Wycombe) as I think this season will then be more about winning a cup more than finishing in the top 4. The Europa cup of course then guarantees entry into the Champions League anyway.
If the gap is 6 points or less then we still have title hopes and then the league takes precedence over the cups.
I wonder how Poch and the Spurs management will view it at that stage?

Boring old argument about top 4 or a trophy - but your comment just smacks of everything that's wrong with modern football. You must be pretty young to feel that way. Winning trophies is the best part of supporting a club. To say you would rather finish 4th than win the FA Cup is very, very sad.
Tottenham Hotspur will survive financially without being in the fucking Champions League. We are fantastically well run off the pitch. We haven't gambled our future away on the reliance of CL football.
I feel very sad for you, and others who share this view.
Agree. Believe!very tough but two bad games from chelsea and it all changes. Its only January
we'll lose 1/3 of our team without CL though .. don't think Lloris, Toby, Dele Alli would stick around...
100% agree. This team now needs to win something, that is still what matters, that is what fans and media etc will talk about years from now not how many times we finished in the top4. Of course it's important financially, it's also important to finish as high up the league as it's the fundamental competition however winning trophies is what it's all about, id actually take 5th and the fa cup this year over 2nd and no trophy. However ideally we can still finish top4 and win a trophy.Boring old argument about top 4 or a trophy - but your comment just smacks of everything that's wrong with modern football.
