Can Spurs win the league?

[Seafordian Spurs]

If we made the collective decision (!?) to ignore Europa/Champs league and domestic cups and focus on nothing but winning the league then maybe. But honestly: no. A domestic cup and 'being up there' is the best we can hope for. And, with our wage bill being the fraction of our 'top 6' rivals, that's not bad. COYS! #realtalk #grittyrealism

Random thought, whatever happened to football whispers @Rob ?

 

[Qualsonic]

Well, it's in our hands...(depending on goal difference, potentially, with Watford)

 

[Darrenh61]

Can we? Yes
Will we? No
See us a long way off City and Liverpool,come next May unfortunately

 

[Diarmuid]

We can hop the gate and shoot out the gap quick..

 

[Metalhead]

Can't see past City and then Liverpool. We've got a great first team but we're still prone to Watford type results and we're not ruthless enough in front of goal on a consistent enough basis plus we still struggle when up against particularly defensive sides.

 

[Lighty64]

I can certainly see the rational in that but the year Leicester won it just seemed like the perfect storm and unfortunately that doesn't happen too often. I was actually convinced that we would catch Leicester that season but they where just like a machine getting result after result. I think the realization hit me that we weren't going to catch them during the West Brom game! That has to go down as one of the most soul destroying games I've ever had to sit through. It was after that I thought Christ we might not even get second.

even more sole destroying when you get treated for your birthday to go and hope your going to see a possible game to keep you in the title race, for it to all come falling down due to missed chances

Definitely feel for you brother ?

the thing is an injury to Mane or Salah they don't have a replacement to step in that in my eyes would be anywhere near the standard of those 2, even an injury to Firmino would hurt them.

with City that's a different gravy they have a lot of quality good enough to cover, and would only be hit with an injury to 3 or 4 players including Aguero and Jesus

thing is due to issues I hardly ever go, the only thing I can say is every game I've gone to with both my kids or just 1 of them we have never lost, though most of those games have been in the EL and domestic cups, just 3 league games WBA x 2 both 1-1's and with my daughter Boro 1-0

Feck Bro that sucks big time. We really should be beating WBA & Boro at home. I've been lucky I've seen us play Liverpool at home 5 times and we've yet to lose to them while I'm there.

we did Boro 1-0 sorry

 

[Johnny J]

No, because we are overly reliant on a couple of players, one of whom we will flog to death because of no viable alternatives.

 

[THX2208]

I'll let you know when I'm going to another Liverpool game. Go when I'm going and you'll definitely see a victory buddy. ?

 

[Monkey Bastard Hands]

On our day our first team can beat anyone in the league. But it only takes one or two injuries and our lack of squad depth becomes scarily apparent.

We also need to learn how to dig in and win dirty. The Watford game was a prime example of that. Other teams will win those scrappy games and whilst we have improved 100% compared to 5+ years ago, we still need to do better. We'll drop 9-12 points this season on games like this and that could be the difference between us winning or not.

 

[dontcallme]

We can win the league if all the stars align, rarely happens though.

 

[nailsy]

I can't see anyone other than City winning.

 

[JimmyG2]

I think it's wide open.
No team has been consistently good so far
including City.
Liverpool have won all their games
but looked scrappy at times.
Similarly Chelsea and Utd.

I never make firm predictions
especially about the future.

I'm with Bob the Builder.
'Can we win it?
Yes we can!'

I assume the sponsorship ran out and due to most of the stuff they posted being garbage(and the posters telling them so) they stopped posting here. They did do the odd good piece, but in general it was fairly poor, opinion piece journalism(if you can call it that) .

Iirc they claimed they had worked out some sort of logarithm for predicting transfers based on the media. Something that was clearly impossible and obviously bullshit purely to get hits(imo).

 

[double0]

We have the players and the manager to win the league no doubt about that. The mentality is questionable though
