Palace - 1 point.
West Brom - 1
Man City - 0
Chelsea - 0
Hull - 3
Liverpool - 0
Middlesbrough - 3
Stoke - 3


Arsenal - 1
Manchester United - 0

12 points - total of 46. That would have us very safe and those predictions are me being very pessimistic.
2 points ahead of my prediction already!
 
I didn't remember that we'd beaten them 1-0 at home in that season. We beat them on January 1st 1-0 at home in the previous season though. 3 days before we hammered them 4-0 in the FA Cup. I have vivid down/up memories of that week. 1] my divorce papers came through, amongst other things, 2] we beat Spurs 5-0 all told.

The same year, but not the same season. :emoticon-0126-nerd:

Apology accepted <laugh>
 
Let's stop playing matches with some teams at all. We'll agree with Everton a 3/3 split on points; a 1/4 with Spurs and 4/1 with Liverpool. Give our players more resting time for those tricky fixtures like Hull
 
Given we've only a slim chance of finishing above Spurs this year (none?), can we please finish above Everton?

Sadly that ship has sailed....we were within a breath at one point but needed to beat them. I think we are good enough, but for various reasons we didn't win matches that we should have and I can't even think of a game we won that we should have lost. Enlighten me if you can. You need that kind of luck sometimes.

That old Lady Luck seems to have left the building, in my view. I thought she'd gone for good on Wednesday when that big bugger decided to play basketball in front of Dusan and the ref missed it. I've seen a lot of games this year and agree with you. So many points have been dropped when we deserved better, and I can't recall a lucky win.
 
The only time I recall a double over Everton they beat us in the Cup semi-final. Yep, that Adrian Heath season again. Suspect we didn't do the double over Spurs. Anyone remember us ever doing so?

That cup semi-final season it was 3-1 at the Dell and lost 1-0 at Goodison Park. The last time we did the double over Everton was 1997-98 which was 2-1 at home and a 2-0 win away and the only other time we've completed the league double over them was the first season we went down 1973-74 which was 2-0 at home and then a great 3-0 win away after we'd already be relegated. So twice in the entire history between the clubs! In total 5 away wins in 43 league away games.

Tottenham was 2003-04 which was 1-0 at home and 3-1 away and our record against them is much better wth 12 away wins in 66 away games but still only 3 league doubles over them since the Southern League days.

None indeed. Even putting realism completely in the bin, we can mathematically only make it to 64 points from here. Spurs are on 65 points.

This weekend could see 3rd place moving mathematically out of our reach too.
