    Looking at the last 6 matches I see no reason why Spurs shouldn't win them all.

    Chavs already on the beach so we need to. In reality only 5 games left, the chavs won't be turning up against Leicester on the last day.

    Great result for us at Lego Towers.
    Especially when the Goons were 2-0 up (fissile material for an A87 meltdown) . :)

    I wouldn't pay too much attention to Chelsea's result today or even their performance.
    Hiddink's experimenting a bit and giving chances to some of their youth players.
    It worked in some cases and not in others, but I suspect that they'll go full strength against us.
    No idea if that'll be a good or a bad thing though, to be fair.

    We need to be at least level with Leicester before the last game of the season.
    I doubt Spurs superior GD is going to slump between now and then, so at the minimum
    matching their final result will be ideal.

    Bizarre goal for West Brom. Sessegnon struck it really well but Hart's reaction makes me think he didn't even see it. Perhaps the conditions, or perhaps just poor 'keeping.

    As long as the boys keep getting results to make it mathematically possible, that should be
    enough to see Spurs finish in the top 3 come May (the current minimum target) .

    Is it 5 ...1-0 wins on the trot for Leicester and is it a record?.......and is this known as "parking the bus?"
    All we need is all PL teams doing this and it will be like the Italian League....BOORING!

    The number of empty seats at city is a joke.
    7 years ago they were praying for CL qualification and now cant fill the ground cos they ain't winning the title!
    That's the problem with attracting plastics and tourists I guess

    Very unfortunately, I see two.

    1. We won seven points in the reverse fixtures.
    2. It's 32 games into the season and we have yet to beat a good team that doesn't give up when things go against them (a good team other than Man City, in other words.)

    With our young team these could be used as motivation for our benefit as much as they will act to our detriment. We're a very different unit to the one that lost at Old Trafford or let it slip against Newcastle. I think the win at City proves we can do it. We just need to do it again starting tomorrow. Let's face it, all the games this season are against teams below us.

    Very difficult to win 3 consecutive games in the PL, never mind 6.

    Poor keeping for the second time this week from Joe Hart.

    The lack of protection City's midfield has given Hart and the back four this season has been next to non-existent - but the papers want to tell us Guardiola will be bringing in Messi et al, when if he has any sense he'll be looking to replace Fernando with a midfielder who can defend worth a damn.

    What a joke. Villareal 15 points behind 3rd place Real Madrid,will probably be playing in the CL next season......and they wanted to cut the PL places to 3!
    Apart from the top 3,the rest would have a job in our Championship League.

    I'm not sure about that, Smithy. There are several,very good sides in La Liga. Sevilla have won The Europa League for the last 2 years. Villareal are a good side. Valencia and Celta Vigo too.
