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.
Qualifiers are a thing of the past for the European leagues with the best coefficients. 4th place in the prem equals a direct route into the CL group stages buddy.While Everton May be a dead rubber for too 4, it’s crucial we do finish 3rd - no CL qualifying and easier to plan for next season when attracting players. The qualifiers always scare me after Young Boys gave us a heart attack!
I agree that they shouldn't roll over, but I think there's a difference between playing defensively, going long, being a little clever time wasting and then what burnley do which tonight was 6 players faking injuries inside of 10 minutes. I'm all for teams doing the best with what they're given but I don't want to see teams laying on the floor faking injuries.
In theory it should be a very simple equation come the weekend.
Spurs beat west ham
United beat Chelsea
And it’s done ?
I didn't believe that, just sayin'assuming we beat BHA tonight, which almost everyone believes we will as almost everyone believed the goons would beat palace and chelsea would beat burnley.
football has gone nuts in the last week - cannot take anything for granted. BHA will put 10 men behind the ball and defend deep which leaves less space for Sonny and Lucas to attack.
going to be a hard game, unless we score early.
Assuming we win comfortably, I would be quite happy for Brighton to score a consolation goal tonight. I don't want West Ham to have the added incentive to be the first team to score in the new stadium

I caught a bit of talk shite last night and Goldstein claimed that his Spurs supporting mate had said that finishing in the top 4 is more important than the CL semis.
Does he even understand what complete bollocks he is saying IF of course it was true in the first place....
Biggest game tonight since City...
I posted on here last week that now we are in the semi finals winning the CL should be our priority which did not get universal support among SC posters so I wouldn't be surprised if his mate was ambiguous on the matter, that said Goldstein is a bit of an arse who always tries to wind up Spurs fans and I don't believe it the way he is spinning it.I heard that last night. I think what he meant was before the CL game, would you have preferred a win in the PL game than in the CL game? which was a valid question but in the context of our remaining games, the fact we were in third etc - id have taken how it panned out any day.
